needing help with a user list activate only

Hi I am wanting to setup a basic script that when touched only users I designate in a list can activate the script.


This is what I have so far and no luck.

list people = ["Ares Baroque","Jasmin Chaffe"];

default
{


touch_start(integer x)
{
key people;
if (llDetectedName(0) != people) //if the detected name isn't on the list.
{
llOwnerSay("you cannot pass.";
}

else
{
llOwnerSay("You can pass.";
}
}
}

thanks

Your if test is going to run into a problem because you're trying to compare a single element, llDetectedName(0), to a list, people. There's a good LSL function for doing this...

if (llListFindList(people,[llDetectedName(0)]) != -1){
//Do stuff)
}

llListFindList returns an integer that is the position of the second list, llDetectedNamey(0) in this case, in the first list. You have to cast the element llDetectedName(0), as a list by putting it in square brackets here. If the second list isn't in the first one, the integer is -1. This if test, then, says "if llDetectedName(0) isn't in 'people', do stuff."

Or, alternatively,

if (~llListFindList( people, [llDetectedName(0)] )){
//do stuff}
