Simple script not showing Touch

I have an object that I want to have Detect a avatars group and if they do not belong to the group they are not allowed to see the notecard inside and get a msg saying sorry. From a prior thread we got the script below. Unfortunately, the object now does not have a Touch option when you right click. Nor does the default (touch/grab on left-click) seem to work.

default
{
touch_start(integer count)
{
integer i;
for ( i = 0 ; i < count ; ++i )
{
key who = llDetectedKey(i);
if ( who == llGetOwner() || (llDetectedGroup(i) && ! llSameGroup(NULL_KEY)) )
{
// do stuff
}
else
{
llSay(0, "Sorry, " + llDetectedName(i) + ", this object may only be used by group members. If you are a member of the group, switch your active group tag to it.";
}
}
}
}

You can use [ php] and [ /php] (without the spaces) to make the code come out looking nice..

default
{
    touch_start(integer count)
    {
        integer i;
        for ( i = 0 ; i < count ; ++i )
        {
            key who = llDetectedKey(i);
            if ( who == llGetOwner() || (llDetectedGroup(i) && ! llSameGroup(NULL_KEY)) )
            {
                // do stuff
            }
            else
            {
                llSay(0, "Sorry, " + llDetectedName(i) + ", this object may only be used by group members.  If you are a member of the group, switch your active group tag to it.");
            }
        }
    }
}

If you're saying that the Touch option isn't available, /me bets that somehow the script has been set to Not Running..

I think you should lose the "&& ! llSameGroup(NULL_KEY)" part of the if statement - the wiki says llSameGroup(llDetectedKey(0))) is the same as llDetectedGroup(0) and I'm not sure that SameGroup(NULL) will ever return TRUE.

The way LL did group stuff is weird, IMO. Is the object that contains this script set to a group?

Thanks...not sure that answers the question regarding why the object does not have a Touch option avail for any avatar that want to touch it.

Er..


So.. If the script has been set to Not Running, the Touch option won't be available when people right-click it.

I ended up creating a new object and not it does allow the Owner to see the notecard. We tested it with a different avatar with active group selected and with or without a group selection they are not able to touch the object. Not sure why..the code looks right.. any idea?

default
{
touch_start(integer count)
{
integer i;
for ( i = 0 ; i < count ; ++i )
{
key who = llDetectedKey(i);
if ( who == llGetOwner() || (llDetectedGroup(i) && ! llSameGroup(NULL_KEY)) )
{
llGiveInventory(llDetectedKey(i),"SLGeocache";// do stuff
}
else
{
llSay(0, "Sorry, " + llDetectedName(i) + ", this object may only be used by group members. If you are a member of the group, switch your active group tag to it.";
}
}
}
}

I've heard, maybe in one of the replies above, that if the script isn't set to running - you know that little checkbox at the bottom of the script edit window that says "Running" - then people won't get the Touch option they right-click on it.

And, your if statement still says "&& ! llSameGroup(NULL_KEY)) )" which I still bet doesn't do anything.

And, if you put [ php] and [ /php] around your code, it will be much easier for people to read..

ok thx... I will be sure to put php round the code for posts. I didn't understand that statement earlier My script is running..little box checked.....the problem is that for any avatar whether they have their group set active to the objects group or not they are unable to get the notecard....

need to figure out how any avatar that belongs to the same group as the object can get the notecard

I have been up to long... this was fixed by removing ! ..as probably mentioned above..thx
