Hey there. I need to figure out how to make a script for an object that does this: When an AV right clicks and "touches" the object, their name is recorded and placed in a list. Thankies.

CODE

list lNAMES;

default
{
     touch_start(integer num)
     {
          lNAMES += [llDetectedName(0)];
     }
}

Try storing their information in a list. You can use a strided list if you want to store multiple pieces of info such as name, time of touch, etc.
You can then add a command to IM or Email you back the list depending on your goals.

Be careful not to let the list get too big. You get 16kb to store the script and the data. The object will crash if you exceed that allocation. Therefore you will want to email off the data and reset the list after x touches (x be ing dependent on how much data you are storing).

Hope that helps

CODE
list gNames;
integer channel = -7272;
integer listening;

default
{
    touch_start(integer num)
    {
        // If the owner touches, display dialog to show or clear the list
        if(llDetectedKey(0) == llGetOwner())
        {
            llDialog(llDetectedKey(0),"Name List Menu\n\nShow - Show the current list.\nClear - Clear the current list.",["Show","Clear"],channel);
            listening = llListen(channel,"",llDetectedKey(0),"");
            return;
        }

        // Only add people who are not currently on the list
        if(llListFindList(gNames,[llDetectedName(0)]) == -1)
            gNames += llDetectedName(0);
    }

    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
    {
        llListenRemove(listening);
        if(message == "Clear")
        {
            gNames = [];
            llWhisper(0, "The list of names has been cleared.");
            return;
        }

        if(message == "Show")
        {
            integer len = llGetListLength(gNames);
            if(len > 0)
            {
                integer i;
                for(i = 0; i < len; ++i)
                    llWhisper(0, llList2String(gNames,i)
                llWhisper(0, "There were " + (string)len + " names on the list.");
                llWhisper(0, "There are " + (string)llGetFreeMemory() + " bytes free.");
                return;

            else
            {
                llWhisper(0, "No names are on the list.");
                llWhisper(0, "There are " + (string)llGetFreeMemory() + " bytes free.");
                return;

common coding typo - add a semi-colon at the end of line 39
CODE

. . .
. . .
for(i = 0; i < len; ++i) 
    llWhisper(0, llList2String(gNames,i); // <-- add ";" here
llWhisper(0, "There were " + (string)len + " names on the list.");

I'm curious since I am going to do something similar, but when I delete part of a list, does it update the index values for the items?

e.g:

0 - Haravikk Mistral
1 - Bob Turner
2 - Some Person

If I remove Bob Turner, does Some Person's number change to 1?
It just seems that it may be better in cases to have a limit on how big your list will get, if it has reached this, then you delete the first (oldest) entry in the list and add the next one.
I know that doing this involves copying of lists, but if your limit is relatively good (e.g 15 names) then it shouldn't be too inefficient. Or even have niceties like checking to see if a user is already in the list, removing them from it and placing them at the end (ie to update their position).

Yes, if you delete an element of a list the entire list is reindexed.

Topping and tailing like that I've not tried, but agree it shouldn't be too inefficient - although I'm inclined to ask why you're doing it - options such as IMing or emailing the list might be more appropriate.

NDE--Nilsson Development Enterprises has a script that adds/deletes people from a list on touch and is able to automatically distribute any object to people on the list quickly and easily.
