Hiyas

I am using the following script. What it SHOULD do is to say "Access Denied" if the person touching is not the owner. However, it says it no matter what.

CODE

link_message(integer sender, integer num, string str, key id)
{
if (id == llGetOwner())
{
llSay(0,"Access granted");
}
else
{
llSay(0,"Access denied");
}
}

So if it is me, then I get:
Object: Access Granted
Object: Access Denied

If someone else, they just get:
Object Access Denied

Why am I getting Access Denied as well?

Should probably be in the touch even instead of the link_message event

CODE

touch_start(integer r)
{
    if (llGetOwner()== llDetectedKey(0))
    {
      llSay(0,"Access granted");
    }
    else
    {
      llSay(0,"Access denied");
    }
}


Otherwise you need to make sure the llDetectedKey(0) is sent as the id from where you have the touch event.

CODE

touch_start(integer r)
{
    llMessageLinked(LINK_SET, 0,"",llDetectedKey(0));
}

Right. ID is only valid in the touch event (or wherever else you collect it) unless you specificly make it global.

Or to make sure you got them all...

CODE
touch_start( integer num_touchers )
{
    integer curr_av;
    for( curr_av = 0; curr_av < num_touchers; ++curr_av )
    {
        if( llDetectedKey(curr_av) == llGetOwner() ) {
            llSay(0,"Access Granted.");
        } else {
            llSay(0,"Access Denied.");
        }
    }
}


or if you really need that link_message in some other script...

CODE
touch_start( integer num_touchers )
{
    integer curr_av;
    for( curr_av = 0; curr_av < num_touchers; ++curr_av )
    {
        llMessageLinked(LINK_SET,0,"",llDetectedKey(curr_av) );
    }
}

Are you sure that is an EXACT copy of what is running -

Because if it is, it is impossible ( ie bug somewhere ) that you are getting two responses for one pass thru it ( and even if you were somehow going thru it twce with a maverick link message you would still get two access messages for the denied )

Also I would look at the logic above it - does it send 1 link message for every body else and 2 for you or something ( that would explain why you are getting two and everybody else is getting one )
