Dialog help!

Hello,

I'm trying make a dialog where it turns on and off a light. But way I want it to work is when you click the object the dialog pops ups and says one of other like first light on then after I click it, it will switch the light on too light off. Here script I'm working on if anyone can help me out.

Thanks for help.



string light = "light off";
list main_menu = [light];
default
{
state_entry()
{
llListen(5666,"",llGetOwner(),"";
}
listen(integer channel,string name,key id,string message)
{

if(message == "light on"
{
light =(string) "light off";
llOwnerSay("test 1";
}
if(message == "light off"
{
light =(string) "light on";
llOwnerSay("test";
}
}


touch_start(integer total_number)
{
if(llDetectedKey(0) == llGetOwner())
{
llDialog(llDetectedKey(0),"Main Menu",main_menu, 5666);
}
}
}

This is really close, I think. The problem is that the script is changing the value of the "light" variable, but that doesn't affect the "main_menu" list because it gets the value of "light" *at the time of assignment*. So, where there's assignments like:

light = (string) "light on";

what's needed is more like:

main_menu = [ "light on" ] ;

(It's not necessary to typecast a literal string to "string)", by the way.)

To actually turn the light on and off, llSetPrimitiveParams() will probably be useful, using the PRIM_POINT_LIGHT parameter settings.

Try something like this

integer menuChannel = 5666;
integer LIGHT_ON=TRUE;
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llListen(menuChannel,"",llGetOwner(),"");
    }
    listen(integer channel,string name,key id,string message)
    {
            
            if(message == "light on")
            {
                LIGHT_ON=TRUE;
                llOwnerSay("test 1");
            }
             if(message == "light off")
            {
                LIGHT_ON=FALSE;
                llOwnerSay("test");
            }
    }


    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        if(llDetectedKey(0) == llGetOwner())
        {
            string lightButton = "light ";
            if(LIGHT_ON)
                 lightButton = lightButton + "off";
            else
                 lightButton = lightButton + "on";
            llDialog(llDetectedKey(0),"Main Menu",lightButton, menuChannel);
        }
    }
}

(except I think the buttons have to be in a list for llDialog)

oh yeah

change this line:
llDialog(llDetectedKey(0),"Main Menu",lightButton, menuChannel);

to

llDialog(llDetectedKey(0),"Main Menu",[lightButton], menuChannel);

Sweet thanks for help
