sublists

Am i corrent in thinking that sub lists or lists of lists are not possible?

What i wanted to do was somthing like

list colours = ["RED","GREEN","BLUE","ORANGE","YELLOW","WHITE"];
list numbers = ["1","2","3","4"];
list mylist[colours,numbers];


I am trying to create a configuration dialog window that has many options and the tidyest and shorted way of doing this was with lists of lists. But alias after writing loads of code then comming to use llList2List and discovering it didn't do what i expected.

Any other sugestions on ways to do this, the biggest problem is that the lists are all of different lengths as they are going to llDialog in the end.

Thanks

Sublists are not possible in LSL.

You could emulate them with one list of all elements (concatenation of your sublists) and one list of indices to the start position of each sublist.

You can also emulate sublists to some extent using strided lists.

But I'm not certain this accomplishes what you're trying to do.

list options = ["RED","GREEN","BLUE","ORANGE","YELLOW","WHITE","1","2","3","4"];
list offsets = [0,6,10];

showDialog(integer mnuNumber, string mnuTitle, integer mnuChannel)
{
    llDialog(llGetOwner(),
             mnuTitle,
             llList2List(options,
                         llList2Integer(offsets, mnuNumber),
                         llList2Integer(offsets, mnuNumber + 1) - 1),
             mnuChannel);
}

default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        showDialog(0, "Menu 0", 1);
        showDialog(1, "Menu 1", 1);
    }
}
