Help with Sensor and Dialog.. Please

Ok.. I'm tryig to deteck someone, and send that person a menu.. But I'm getting confused.

Here's the code I have.

sensor(integer total_number)
{
vector pos = llGetPos();
integer j;
integer count = total_number;

for (j = 0; j < count; j++)
{
if(llDetectedName(j) != LOoking_For)
{
float diff = llVecDist(pos,llDetectedPos(j));
integer dist = llRound(diff);
string result = (llDetectedName(j)) + " " + ((string)dist) + "m";

if(llDetectedName(j) != LOoking_For)
{
Looking_For_Key = llDetectedKey(j);
Message = "On";
llMessageLinked(Stub_Button, 0, Message, "";
}
}
else
{
Message = "Off";

}
llMessageLinked(Stub_Button, 0, Message, "";
}
}



listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
{

llSensorRepeat(LOoking_For,"",AGENT,200,PI,.5);

Ear = llParseString2List(message, [" "],[]);


list The_COMMANDS = ["Button_1", "Button_2", "Button_3"];
list Temp1;

if The_COMMANDS, [llList2String(Ear, 0)]) != -1) // verify dialog choice
{
llDialog(Looking_For_Key, "What do you want to do?", The_COMMANDS CHANNEL);
...
}
}


Thanks

Well first of all, the code you've posted isn't even compilable -- too many typos, missing braces and parentheses.

Secondly, it's hard to offer advice if you don't say what the code is doing wrong. You're "getting confused"? Be a little more specific, and I'll see if I can help out.

Your code is difficult to follow. Where does the variable "LOoking_For" get set? Also, you create a string called "result" but then never use it.

In your sensor event you have two separate IF statements that both trigger when llDetectedName(j) does not equal LOoking_For. Was one of them supposed to trigger when it DOES equal?

Ok.. I clean up the code.

Basically, what I'm trying to acheive, is to detect someone, and show a dialog box to that person only.

Where I am getting confuse, is.. Knowing the person 'Nme', how do I get the key so I can apply to llDialog?

Thanks


sensor(integer total_number)
{
vector pos = llGetPos();
integer j;
integer count = total_number;

for (j = 0; j < count; j++)
{
if(llDetectedName(j) != LOoking_For)
{
Message = "Off";
}
else
{
if(llDetectedName(j) == LOoking_For)
{
Looking_For_Key = llDetectedKey(j);
Message = "On";
llMessageLinked(Stub_Button, 0, Message, "";
}
}
llMessageLinked(Stub_Button, 0, Message, "";
}
}



listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
{
string LOoking_For = "Helen Moonlight";
key Looking_For_Key;

llSensorRepeat(LOoking_For,"",AGENT,200,PI,.5);


list The_COMMANDS = ["Button_1", "Button_2", "Button_3"];
list Temp1;

if The_COMMANDS, [llList2String(Ear, 0)]) != -1) // verify dialog choice
{
llDialog(Looking_For_Key, "What do you want to do?", The_COMMANDS CHANNEL);
...
}
}

So you want to have an object that sits there and scans for Helen Moonlight, and when she comes within range, you want it to give her a dialog box? If that's what you want to do, try this:

string userName = "Helen Moonlight"; // Change this to scan for someone else

key userKey;
integer listenHandle;
integer channel = 40278;

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSensorRepeat(userName, NULL_KEY, AGENT, 96, PI, 10);
    }

    sensor(integer num)
    {
        // We found our target, no need to scan any more? Leave this out if
        // you want to keep popping up menus and really annoy Helen Moonlight
        llSensorRemove();

        userKey = llDetectedKey(0);

        // Change this to set the actual text on the menu buttons
        list menu = ["Button_1", "Button_2", "Button_3"];

        llSetTimerEvent(60);
        listenHandle = llListen(channel, userName, userKey, "");
        llDialog(userKey, "What would you like to do?", menu, channel);
    }

    timer()
    {
        llSetTimerEvent(0);
        llWhisper(0, "No response received, shutting down.");
        llListenRemove(listenHandle);

        // Go back to scanning, I guess?
        llSensorRepeat(userName, NULL_KEY, AGENT, 96, PI, 10);
    }

    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
    {
        llSetTimerEvent(0);
        llListenRemove(listenHandle);

        // Change these to match whatever you set on the buttons
        if (message == "Button_1")
        {
            // Do whatever you ned to do if the user clicked Button_1
            ...
        }
        else if (message == "Button_2")
        {
            // Ditto
            ...
        }
        else if ... // Repeat for other buttons
        {
        }
    }
}
