avatar detection help

Please help ! I am a total dork when it comes to scripting but at least I keep plugging along ! need some help with a radar I ma building to detect avatar pay status, I cant even get it to compile, and my eyes are bloodshot from trying to figure it out

default {

touch_start(integer num_detected)
{
llRequestAgentData(llDetectedKey(0), DATA_PAYINFO);
}
dataserver(key queryid, string data)
{if (data=1)
llSay(0, "NO PAYMENT" )
else
llSay(0, "PAYMENT VERIFIED"}

}

A couple of pure syntax errors (misisng semi colons, = instead of ==) and also a misunderstanding of the return from llRequestAgentData. The result is a bit field not a straight integer.

Bit 0: PAYMENT_INFO_ON_FILE Payment info on file
Bit 1: PAYMENT_INFO_USED Payment info used.

list info = [ "No Payment Info on File" , 
              "Payment Info on File" , 
              "Beta/Lifetime user" , 
              "Payment Info on File AND Payment Info Used" ];

default 
{ 
    touch_start(integer num_detected)
    {
        llRequestAgentData(llDetectedKey(0), DATA_PAYINFO); 
    }
    dataserver(key queryid, string data)
    {
        integer bits = (integer)data;
        llSay(0, "Result " + data + " = " + llList2String(info, bits) );
    }

}

thanks --you saved my life !!

I'd suggest that you take a read through the New Scripters Start Here (FAQ)sticky at the top of the forum. It cover teh basic's.

I'd also suggest that you grab hold of a copy of lslint, it is a useful tool for highlighting gross syntax errors and has far more meaningful error messages than the SL editor.

lslint is indispensable. Really. I very rarely use the in-world tools for scripting anymore (and then only for one-line changes to existing scripts), I just use SciteEZ and lslint to write the scripts and copy and paste them in-world. It is painless, easy, and increases productivity *significantly*.

VERY *significantly*.

thank you I have taken scripting classes in-world, read lots in forums and lsl guides and tried a lot of things, and and don't consider myself somone that'scompletley technolology challenged, but many times Im left thinking what the f&^* ! Anyway thanks again Ill try those suggestions maybe it will help me a lot more

No Worries Dave. Please dont be disheartened by minor set backs. My comments where not suggested as criticism just away to gain more information and hence a better understanding. Most of your errors where due to lack of experience which can only be gained by doing.
