Little String help please..

Hi guys! I'm losing it..this is probably obvious, but I just can't see why this is happening. I click the script, and it's supposed to add the toucher's name to the string..simple, right? I thought so, but oh well. Anybody see why it's adding the name like, 3 times for each click?


string stringlist = "";
string name;

default
{
state_entry()
{
llSetText("",<1,1,1>,1);
stringlist = "";
}

touch(integer num_detected)
{
name= llKey2Name(llDetectedKey(0));

stringlist = stringlist + "\n" + name;

llSetText(stringlist,<1,1,1>,1);
}
}

Thanks!

Try using touch_start instead. I've noticed that touch sometimes returns multiple events.

Also instead of stringlist = stringlist + "\n" + name;
use stringlist = (stringlist=[]) + stringlist + "\n" + name;
It will save a lot of memory in long lists

thanks Monica! That worked great..I never had that happen with touch before - I'll be more careful with it!

BTW This voodoo isn't effective or necessary now if the script is compiled to Mono.

/esc

mm.. touch is meant to return n times -its like 'mouseover&down' eg depending on cpu clock it will fire continously as long as the object in question in touched -at least, that is how i have understood this ..
