Simple question. Activating an event upon collision.

Hello. I'm trying to get an object that has llVolumeDetect enabled to generate an event. The object should only activate it's collision event upon touching certain object. I tried the code below.

collision_start(integer total_number)
{
string name = llDetectedName(0);
if(name == "Target Object";);
{
event();
}
}


Of course, "Target Object" is an in-world object and the name is the exact same as the one in the code. Caps and all. But. problem is. Using llVolumeDetect, the object that should generate collision events doesnt do anything. Also, if I turn off llVolumeDetect and put phantom off, the object activates it's event no matter what it touches. What I'm missing here?

was the object phantom before you enabled llVolumeDetect?

"The object can NOT be set to phantom by any other means, or else llVolumeDetect will not work. llVolumeDetect will set phantom automatically."

Hmmm. Good question. I'll see if it was, or wasn't. I'm not really sure. At least this guides me somewhere. Thanks. Now, to see why the event is still triggered by anything and not what I tell it to do.

Not blessed, just that I make that mistake so often it's one of the first things I look for =^.^=

Hanumi,

Always great to see people getting into scripting. I would suggest you make use of one of the outside editors. LSLEditor didn't pick up the mistake but Scite-EZ picks it up immediately with the comment:

From: someone

>"C:\Program Files\SciTE-ez\lsl\lslint.exe" "temp.lsl"
WARN:: (101, 13): Empty if statement.
TOTAL:: Errors: 0 Warnings: 1
>Exit code: 0 Time: 0.214


Plus of course it makes scripting easier when you can have multiple tabs of reference scripts open at the same time.

Nice little apps. Been scripting for a while now. But I always use the in-word editor. I'll give it a try at one of these programs. Will make my life lots easier. :)

Since I have lslint.exe integrated into Scite-EZ I always forget that you can also just go here and paste in your script and have it analyze it:
