I have a texture switch script that allows anyone who touches the prim to change the scrpt. I'd like to make it owner only... easy there an easy line I can add to it?

Thanks!

Yes, assuming that you have mod permissions for the script. All you have to do is test for llGetOwner(). Exactly where you do the test will depend on what your script looks like, of course, but you can get the idea from . It's a straightforward bit of scripting.

Hi Rolig, thanks for the link.

Unfortunately, being 150% bimbo when it comes to scripting, I spent over an hour trying to fit that in with my current script, to no avail.

All the info in that link might as well be Russian.

I have been trying very hard to understand LSL but I think I must admit defeat.

I know this is most likely a very easy add to the script & was hoping to solve the issue myself, but I guess thats not going to happen.

Thanks again for your response :)

there is a section that goes something like

CODE

touch_start( integer total ){
  //-- some stuff here
}

take all the stuff in between and do this to it...
CODE

touch_start( integer total ){
  if (llDetectedKey( 0 ) == llGetOwner()){
     //-- some stuff here
  }
}

could also do

CODE

touch_start( integer tota){
   if(llDetectedKey(0) != llGetOwner())
      return;
   //some stuff here
}


Might be easier to do that as someone who doesn't script.. personally I think it's bad coding to return from an event like that.

I tend to avoid that model too, but in this case it's not so bad... i'd single line it though.. if you aren't going to use braces it might as well all run together

Just curious. Why is that bad?

it's preferable to enclose code segments to avoid errors later when updating and inserting new code... that way the code is guaranteed to run in an unambiguous way.
