how can I allow other ppl to control the door

I have a door and I want to be able to set it so that this other person can use it even though I own it and I don't know how to edit the script someone gave me this string i = llListen(0, "", YOUR FRIENDS KEY HERE, "" but I don't know where do put it or how to use it

Thanks *Summer*


edit-thread moved from the script library.

First of all, I don't think llListen callback is needed for a simple door - its just a waste of resources.

You can have a list of friends that are allowed to operate the door by touching it and when someone touches it, just check their key/name against those saved in your Friends list (in the touch_start event for example).

If you still haven't figured out a way to do this, contact me in world, I'll be happy to upgrade the script for you.

I did something like that for a door into a private area where I wanted friends to be able to visit, but keep out the riff-raff. The important code bits are here:

    touch_start(integer total_number) 
    {
	list accessList = [ "Lazarus Lumiere", "Jane Doe", "Foo Bar" ];
        integer i;
        integer flag = FALSE;
        
        for( i = 0; i < llGetListLength( accessList ); i++ )
        {
            if( llList2String( accessList, i ) == llDetectedName(0) )
            {
                flag = TRUE;   
            }
        }
                
        if( flag )
        {
            door(DOOR_OPEN);
        }
        else
        {
            llSay( 0, "Access Denied" );
        }
    }

Hope that works for you!

A faster way to do it would be:

	touch_start(integer total_number) 
	{
		list accessList = [ "Lazarus Lumiere", "Jane Doe", "Foo Bar" ];
	
		list detected_name = [llDetectedName(0)]; // put the result of llDetectedName(0) on a list.
			
		// Determines if the detected name is on the access list.
		// (llListFindList returns the location of first instance of the detected name in the access list. Returns -1 if it's not found.)
		if (llListFindList(accessList,detected_name) > -1)
			
		{
			door(DOOR_OPEN);
		}
			
		else
		{
			llSay( 0, "Access Denied" );
		}
	}

By using the predefined function llListFindList, you don't have to run through the entire list in LSL. It's actually faster to do it this way, and uses less code.

Thanks Catherine!

I was unaware of llListFindList until you pointed it out. A much simpler way of handling it.
