llsamegroup issues

Ive been trying to lockout a dialog and am not having much luck, so here is part of what Ive been working on can somebody try to explain to me what I need to do next

touch_start(integer total_number){
makeDialog(llSameGroup(llDetectedKey(0))==FALSE);
}

listen(integer channel, string name, key talkerID, string message)
{
if(channel == gDialogChannel)
{
if(message == "All On"

It's hard to tell what is going on in your makeDialog function. Right now, you are getting either a TRUE or FALSE into it, so you aren't even passing the key of the person who touched it. But what you are trying to do is something like this.

touch_start(integer total_num)
{
   if(llSameGroup(llDetectedKey(0)))
   {
       //do your dialog stuff here
   }
}

Lazink has the idea... but you may want to replace llSameGroup( llDetectedKey( 0 ) ) with llDetectedGroup( 0 ) if you need to trigger it for only NON group, then tack a ! symbol in front of it.

I am just trying to stop the dialog from being used by non group members and was trying to figure out how to block that at the very start of the dialog so it would check to see if they have it active. I will try the tweak when I get in world

Thank you guys that worked like a charm

Just to be really clear, Lazink is suggesting that unless your script creates many dialog boxes at different times, it's probably simpler to put the llDialog command right in your touch_start event instead of running it in a user defined function. A minimal snippet looks like this ......

touch_start(num_detected)
{
if(llDetectedGroup(0))
{
list Buttons = ["Button 1","Button 2","Button 3","Button 4"];
llDialog (llDetectedKey(0), "Push one of these buttons, please", Buttons, gDialogChannel);
}
}

where gDialogChannel is your channel for the dialog and you put your own labels on the buttons in place of "Button 1" and so forth.

Edit: Aha! Glad you got it to work while I was typing my note.

ok edit message here, I got what I needed done. seems I kept trying to declare something that wasnt in the script so all is fixed and cool now thanks again
