Hello everyone.

I'm working on a security system where it has a code password on it, like a door or safe. Well I'm trying set it up where when you click on object a dialog comes up and your able to change the security code on it and it will change a "string code" like string code = "1234"; but I'm having problem trying figure where to start

this is what I end up with.
CODE

string code = "1234";

if(llGetSubString(message,0,0) == "code")
        {
            llOwnerSay("To add a new security code Type the New code with the input c 1234 , Need more help please look at help menu Thank you!");
            llSetTimerEvent(35);
        }
            if(llGetSubString(message,0,0) == "c")
        {
            string code = llGetSubString(message,1,-1);.
            code = message;
            llOwnerSay("message changed to " +message);
        }
        }



Thanks for the help :P

Hi shenanigan,
Note quite sure what you are trying to accomplish, but I noticed a couple of errors in your script

The line:
if(llGetSubString(message,0,0) == "code";)
can never evaluate to true, you are trying to compare the first character of message with a four char string.

Lower down you have:
string code = llGetSubString(message,1,-1);.
code = message;

you assign part of the message string to the code string and then in the next line assign the complete message to code.

Ignore that code ;P I figured it out

CODE


        string Newcode = message;
        code = (code="") + code + Newcode;



that right there will change the string at being of the script to a new code :P

Or you could do something like this:

CODE


llOwnerSay("To add a new security code Type Old code followed by the New code with a space between them, Need more help please look at help menu Thank you!");
llSetTimerEvent(35);

list temp = llParseString2List(message,[" "],[]);
if (llList2String(temp, 0) == code) code = llList2String(temp, 1);
else llOwnerSay(0, "Wrong code. Try again.");
