llDialog and listen problem

Hi there every one

I've hit on of those silly walls and I can't seem to figure out what mistake I've made.

I'm modifying the Ready Jack pistol script so that it has a dialog box to pick the hold animation. (the device is two handed so it doesn't fit people with really big or small shoulders, so I've made a series of poses with the hands at different places and need a way for the user to select the right(ish) size for them)

Anywho, I've got the dialog box set up and it will work on it's own in a prim, but when I copy and paste it into the existing script, I keep getting a syntax error on the listen line of the script and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I've put up a snippet of it to se if anyone can see what I'm doing wrong

Thanks so Much

PHP



default
{
state_entry()
{
verifyInventory();
llListen(CHANNEL, "", NULL_KEY, ""; // listen for dialog answers (from multiple users)
}

touch_start(integer x)
{
if (llDetectedKey(0) != llGetOwner()) {
return;
} else if (!llGetAttached()) {
getPerms();
} else if (gArmed) {
disarm();
} else {
arm();
}
{
llDialog(llDetectedKey(0), "Pick you Avatar size", MENU_MAIN, CHANNEL); // present dialog on click
}

listen(integer chan, string name, key id, string msg) //<=== Syntax Error at start of line
{
if(msg=="Large"
{
llStartAnimation(gAnim);
llOwnerSay(name + " changed the pose to ' " + msg + " '.";
}
else if(msg=="Huge"
{
llStartAnimation(gAnim2);
llOwnerSay(name + " changed the pose to ' " + msg + " '.";
}
else if(msg=="Average"
{
llStartAnimation(gAnim3);
llOwnerSay(name + " changed the pose to ' " + msg + " '.";
}
else if(msg=="Small"
{
llStartAnimation(gAnim4);
llOwnerSay(name + " changed the pose to ' " + msg + " '.";
}
else if(msg=="Tiny"
{
llStartAnimation(gAnim5);
llOwnerSay(name + " changed the pose to ' " + msg + " '.";
}
else if(msg=="Reset"
{
llStartAnimation(gAnim);
llOwnerSay(name + " has ' " + msg + " ' the pose.";
}
}

You are missing a "}" to close the touch_start event.

Either that or you have an extra "{" above the llDialog()

~Boss

Toward the end of your 'touch_start' handler, you have an extra open curly brace ({). This is a perfectly valid (multiple-statement) block of code (I believe that is true in LSL), but it means you aren't closing the 'touch_start' event handler two lines later, before the 'listen' event handler. Either add an extra close curly brace (}), or remove the extra open curly brace ({), which has no effect in that context anyway.

did you happen to define CHANNEL in this script?

:X



btw, if only the owner can change the animations, you should use llGetOwner() where NULL_KEY is.


*actually*, you should only activate the listener when the dialogue is up, and kill it shortly after. but that's optional.


oh, THAT listen. well. never mind, then :X
