Newbie problem

I'm trying to start writing simple scripts but I've hit a problem on my first one that I can't get past.

I can't figure out why this is always true no matter what I say in chat and executes the if statement? I can print out the "message" string with llOwnerSay but no matter what it is or what "objectstate" is it tests true and executes the if.

Does if not work with strings this way?

string objectstate = "down";

listen( integer channel, string name, key id, string message )
{
if (message == "objectup" && objectstate == "down";
{ insert whatever }
}

well dont know what to tell you - yhe code you have is missing some pieces but I just tested this and it works


string objectstate = "down";
default
{
state_entry()
{
llListen( 0, "", NULL_KEY, "" );
}


listen( integer channel, string name, key id, string message )
{
if (message == "objectup" && objectstate == "down"

llSay(0, "hmm";

}
}

reason it didn't work right is the semi-colon on the line with the if....

if(condition)
{
// then
} else
{
// else
}

Yes I just figured that out and came back to post, silly semi colons.

Thanks!
