state_entry question

Ok, what I am trying to figure out is in the state_entry at the top of the script I need to be able to ad a llListen and just cant get it to work, obviously I am missing something but it has me stumped as I have only been scripting for a few months now.

default {

    
    state_entry() 
     {
       if( llGetListLength(notecardList)==0 )
       {
            notecard = "_Config";
            state loading;
        }
        else
        {
            index = 0;
        }
    }

    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string m) {

CODE


any guidance would be appreciated, thanks

Hi Knigh in the next link you can find an implementation of the listen event

Knight --

llListen is a "handle," a filter that you can think of as a means of setting the rules by which a listen event responds to typed messages. Unless you set the rules first, the listen event has no way of telling which channel to listen on, who to listen to, or what sorts of messages are valid. This becomes especially important if you want the listen event to listen for and respond to more than one set of rules. You might want it to respond to the owner's key command on one channel, for example, and to a general user's input on a different channel. Each set of filtering rules requires a separate setup -- its own llListen handle. There's nothing magic about putting it in state_entry. It just has to be done before the listen event will be engaged.

Post an example llListen() call that you tried and tell us what's not working about it.

I bet you're not clearing notecardList in state loading, so when you get back to default it's jumping right back to state loading over and over again.
