multiple channel listen problem

i cant seam to figure this out, i have 2 commands on 2 diffrent channels and the first one works fine but the command on other channel dosent respond,

    state_entry()
    {
        llListen(0,"","","");
        llListen(-256,"","","");
        llSay(0, "Pods Ready");
        llMessageLinked(LINK_ALL_CHILDREN , 0, "on", "");
    }
    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
    {
        if(channel == 0)
        {
            if(message == "launch")
            {
                llSay(0,"LIFTOFF");
                llMessageLinked(LINK_ALL_CHILDREN , 0, "off", "");
                llMessageLinked(LINK_ALL_CHILDREN , 0, "close", "");
                llSleep(1);
                launch();
            }
            else 
            {
                if(channel == -256)
                {
                    if(message == "die")
                    {
                        llDie();
                    }
                }
            }
        }
}

Because your logic is horrible >.> Check your 'IF/ELSE' block.

You are asking if channel equals -256 when you are inside channel == 0


Solution:

if (channel == 0)
{
    
            //doStuff
   
}

else if (channel == -256)
{

         //doOtherStuff

}

And that llListen handler listen to every object/agent.
If you want that the object only listens to owner you can do:

llListen(0,"",llGetOwner(),"");

Or if you want only to listen to a specific object's name:

llListen(0,"objectName","","");

please also remember to use the closing php tags...

i id the if else stuff and still refuese to work it is only listening on channel 0 for some reason

Where exactly are you testing this at? In world? in LSLEditor? I am asking because I have made the suggestion a couple of times now to try using LSLEditor or the lslint site. In LSLEditor, you can hit ctrl D to auto indent and then the problem is staring you in the face. The same problem that Kahiro stated.

im in world

EDIT,

i ran it in lsl editer and i get errors after

state_entry()
{ // Error

and

listen(
{ // error

Try this:

    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
    {
        if(channel == 0)
        {
            if(message == "launch")
            {
                llSay(0,"LIFTOFF");
                llMessageLinked(LINK_ALL_CHILDREN , 0, "off", "");
                llMessageLinked(LINK_ALL_CHILDREN , 0, "close", "");
                llSleep(1);
                launch();
            }
        }
        else if(channel == -256)
        {
            if(message == "die")
            {
                llDie();
            }
        }
    }

You need to pay closer attention to the logic flow, and it helps to indent properly.

...and to use the right closing tag, as opposed to none at all. ;P

and not repeat the exact same thing someone else just said? (see post 4)

I didn't, since he didn't leave off the closing tag. He used the wrong one by accident.

I CONTRASTED it by referencing the previous error, for irony.

heehee
Talarus was playing with Cale on this one. Cale did exactly what was done before.

what I can't play too? :outs:: (it was obvious he c&p'd it)

Actually, when I quoted it, it broke in my response, for obvious reasons, so I compounded the error even further.

I had to go back and edit it and put in a space in the offending [/ QUOTE] tag.
