I am trying to write a script that sends out a command on a certin channel to where another script and linked objects will follow the command. But it has multiple commands so i have to touch it multiple times rather than 1 time to open all the linked objects. Anyone ot there have ny advice fo me please :)

Is this all within a single object? If so, the word 'channel' doesn't really make sense. For stuff all within a single object, use just link messages. For stuff split between several separate objects, use chat on some unused channel..

Not sure I understand the problem but if you want to do several link messages for every one touch, just call llMessageLinked several times in the touch_start event.

Can you post your script here?

Good luck with it!

Don't be shy about posting your code (unless it's a bazillion lines long) here if you get stuck, once you get it rolling..

That's hard to say without knowing more about what you're trying to do..

Doing something like this is perfectly fine, though:

touch_start(integer total_number)
{
llMessageLinked(LINK_ALL_OTHERS, 42, "hello!", "";);
llMessageLinked(LINK_ALL_OTHERS, 192, "bonjour!", "";);
}

I am trying to click it once it will send a message saying ''open'' and click it again sending a message saying ''close'' on a certin channel but can not figure it out.

CODE

integer ON = TRUE;
integer CHAN = 45; //Or whatever
default
{
     touch_start(integer num)
     {
          if (ON)
          {
               llSay(CHAN,"Open");
          }
          else
          {
               llSay(CHAN,"Close");
          }
          ON = !ON;
     }
}


That ought to do it. :)

If it's all within a single object, something like this might be what you want...

integer gOpened = FALSE;

DoIt()
{
if (gOpened)
{
llMessageLinked(LINK_ALL_OTHERS, 0, "open sesame seed!", "";);
}
else
{
llMessageLinked(LINK_ALL_OTHERS, 0, "close poppy seed!", "";);
}
}

default
{
state_entry()
{
gOpened = FALSE;
DoIt();
}

touch_start(integer total_number)
{
gOpened = !gOpened;
DoIt();
}
}


...if it's multiple objects, just change the llMessageLinked commands to be llSay (or llShout or llRegionSay, depending on how far away the thing you want to talk to is) commands.

Rolig's script was basically the same thing as mine - just a typo at the top where this..

integer OPEN = TRUE;

...should say...

integer ON = TRUE;

That or change the places where it says ON to say OPEN.

ok, what if i want this to, where i rez it out, it rezzes out in the closed position and it plays the the right sound and sends the "close" message.. here is what i have for it but it doesnt seem to be working the way i thought it would.

CODE

integer gOpened = FALSE;
string jopen = "f34bcebf-e9e7-2b2d-d032-09a566771886";
string jclosed = "4cbcfe1c-a61d-430f-32d9-b1228121d613";
integer chan = 2;

DoIt()
{
 if (gOpened)
 {
  llMessageLinked(LINK_ALL_CHILDREN, chan, "open", "");
  llTriggerSound(jopen, 1.0);
 }
 else
 {
  llMessageLinked(LINK_ALL_CHILDREN, chan, "close", "");
  llTriggerSound(jclosed, 1.0);
 }
}

default
{
 state_entry()
 {
  gOpened = FALSE;
  DoIt();
 }

 on_rez(integer start_param)
 {
  llMessageLinked(LINK_ALL_CHILDREN, chan, "close", "");
  return;
 }

 touch_start(integer total_number)
 {
  gOpened = !gOpened;
  DoIt();
 }
}

ok, i have a fix for it but its not perfect. it seems to rez out with the open command and the sounds were switched. but here is what i have and it seems to work.

CODE

integer gOpened = FALSE;
string jopen = "f34bcebf-e9e7-2b2d-d032-09a566771886";
string jclosed = "4cbcfe1c-a61d-430f-32d9-b1228121d613";
integer chan = 2;

DoIt()
{
    if (gOpened)
    {
        llMessageLinked(LINK_ALL_CHILDREN, chan, "open", "");
        llTriggerSound(jclosed, 1.0);
    }
    else
    {
        llMessageLinked(LINK_ALL_CHILDREN, chan, "close", "");
        llTriggerSound(jopen, 1.0);
    }
}

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        gOpened = TRUE;
        DoIt();
    }

    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        gOpened = !gOpened;
        DoIt();
    }
}

If you always want it to be closed when it's rezzed, just add this in there, too:

on_rez (integer param)
{
llResetScript();
}

:o I can't spell simple words. Fixed it in the original post. Sorry about that. Meade's is more elegant anyway.

You changed it to say this in state_entry...

gOpened = TRUE;

Change that back to = FALSE and it'll close whenever the script is reset. Leave it = TRUE and it'll open whenever the script is reset.

Try posting your question in the MLPV2 thread () or starting a fresh thread in this forum. Nobody's going to think to look here for it. ;)
