A log script (maybe Suggestion)

Hey Everyone, i started this game past month, and now i am used to this game. Once i finshed all getting used to the game i wanted to gma einto development, sort of conquered clotheing and tattoos, no bulding yet, but have gotten the basincs and some advanced stuff in scripting.

--now tht the intro is over--

Now that i knew scripting,(well Basics) i decided to make scripts tht cant be found in Sl much. Now here is the thing, one of the scripts i am wokring on, i need it to log certian thigns. Like how many times was it touched or payed u know. And i want to log the event tht are done to the opject. Then i want a log sent to the new owner of the file.

Now i was wondering if there was a way to do this, with a SL command.

i dont want the script to im the owner, tht would create too much of a hassel.

So just wondering is there a command that logs actions and events that are done to it.

Welcome to SL

Is this what youre looking for:

integer numTouched;
default {
    touch_start(integer tn) {
        if (llDetectedKey(0) == llGetOwner()) {
            llOwnerSay("I've been touched " + (string)numTouched + " times.");
        } else {
            ++numTouched;
        }
    }
}

This will report how many times the script has been touched by others to the owner when he/she touches it.

We don't yet have the ability to write to notecards (create text files) via LSL, sorry dude. We can send emails though.

With regard to logging information... when, exactly, are global variables wiped out or reset? It seems pretty sketchy to store stuff in variables in the code... Not saying it can't work, but if the object is picked up, copied, rezed, whatever, when do those variables reset?

I'm surprised we can't write to notecards. That would be really handy.

Thanks!

Yes, it would be, but also equally unlikely. This is a mutilated horse that's been beaten to death throughout the forums. If you're in the mood for it, search for "notecard saving". Basically, the asset server is pretty fiddly as it is and allowing scripts to write notecards would put a lot of load on it. That's what I got, anyways.

Personally, when I need to log things, I set up a gmail account (blahlogs@gmail.com) or some other free service, and then I have it use llEmail to send me the logs periodically. How often you send the log depends on usage-- if it's a vendor that's used many times every day, perhaps send the log only every few hours, or when it becomes full (4096 characters). llOwnerSay only works if you're in the same sim, and llInstantMessage is moderately annoying. Emails are the best solution.

EDIT: Thanks sky Honey

The 1023 character limit is for the email event on incoming messages (actually the wiki says 1000). Outgoing llEmail messages can be longer:

i see, i might use the script u suggested, just one newb question. instead of get owner can the script have say my name Bagel Gable. so if i am letting someone vendor on my property but the have to use my script, can i have it like instead getowner Bagel Gable, or even better the Parcel Owner

Also i might use the Email as a back up though.

i can have it so if a AV touches the object then thats logged rigth then it send teh Email at a certain time. right?

just one question dose it reset the count, or i can have it reset the count.

sorry i am new, i am not a Java or C++ programer i am VB.net programmer and its sort of diffrent
