llDialog without touch_start -- need help

I'm using the wiki script below as a foundation for a new script. I want llDialog to start immediately after the item is rezzed, but everything I've tried has failed. I've tried removing touch_start and using on_rez in place of state_entry; most of my attempts have compiled, but none results in a menu.

What do I need to do to get the dialog to appear upon rezzing the object? Thanks.

integer channel = 1000;
list pairs = [];
 
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llListen(channel,"", "","");
    }
 
    touch_start(integer count)
    {
        llDialog(llDetectedKey(0), "This is a test dialog.\n\nPlease choose one of the below options.",
                 ["Yes", "No", "0", "1"], channel);

    }
 
    listen(integer chan, string name, key id, string mes)
    {
        if(id == llGetOwnerKey(id))//won't listen to objects unless they aren't in the region.
            llSay(0,name + " (" + (string)llGetObjectDetails(id, (list)OBJECT_POS) + ") chose option " + mes);
    }

}

on_rez event

replace the touch_start not the state_entry.

You have to replace touch_start with on_rez (and give llDialog the UUID of the person that shall see the dialog, llDetectedKey() wont work in on_rez event). The llListen function call in the state_entry is still needed or the object wont listen to the dialog (though you can put that in the on_rez event too)


The script should look like the following. And please dont forget to remove the listener once the script has fulfilled its purpose.

integer channel = 1000;
list pairs = [];
integer iListenHandle;

default
{
on_rez(integer start_param)
{
	iListenHandle = llListen(channel,"", "",""); //setting up the listener
llDialog(llGetOwner(), "This is a test dialog.\n\nPlease choose one of the below options.",
["Yes", "No", "0", "1"], channel); //will show dialog to owner
}

listen(integer chan, string name, key id, string mes)
{
if(id == llGetOwnerKey(id))//won't listen to objects unless they aren't in the region.
	llSay(0,name + " (" + (string)llGetObjectDetails(id, (list)OBJECT_POS) + ") chose option " + mes);
llListenRemove(iListenHandle); // remove the listener after we are done.
}

}

lol, hi sho

You were a bit faster in replying, Whispering. But Miles said he tried on_rez though seemingly not correctly. So I gave a little longer answer.

yeah, he replaced the listen in state_entry by the sound of it.

Thanks, Sho, but it didn't work. After rezzing, no menu appeared. Any other ideas?

integer channel = 1000;
list pairs = [];

default
{
state_entry()
{
llListen(channel,"", "","";
}

on_rez(integer hiya)
{
llDialog(llGetOwner(), "This is a test dialog.\n\nPlease choose one of the below options.",
["Yes", "No", "0", "1"], channel);

}

listen(integer chan, string name, key id, string mes)
{
if(id == llGetOwnerKey(id))//won't listen to objects unless they aren't in the region.
llSay(0,name + " (" + (string)llGetObjectDetails(id, (list)OBJECT_POS) + " chose option " + mes);
}

}

Nevermind, got it. Thanks, Sho!!!!!!!!!!!!

take it into inventory and rez it

Wasn't the problem, but thanks.

I had copy/pasted only 99% of Sho's script. "nteger channel" didn't work very well.
