Ok, I have a script that I am converting to something more. Its a simple door script and I have added locking to it, but I want members of a list to be able to open it even if its locked. I have the list and want to test is a agent is in the list and if they are then allow the door to open etc etc.... Here is the code..... --------------------------------------------------------------------- touch_start(integer total_number) { if (doorsLocked == TRUE) { if ( llListFindList( OverrideList, llCSV2List( llDetectedName(0) ) == TRUE) { llWhisper(0,llDetectedName(0) + " is using a key to open the door."  ; door(DOOR_OPEN); state is_open; } else { llWhisper(0,llDetectedName(0) + " is knocking on the door." ; } } else { door(DOOR_OPEN); state is_open; } } --------------------------------------------------------------------- Now I dont know if the test condition will work, but I cant seem to find out. I get told there is a syntax error on the first open curly braces. I can only think that there must be something dreadfully wrong with the test condition. I am still new at scripting and hope someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks Timmins Hamilton |

Re: Incorrect Test Condition in an if statement....

Try replacing this line :
if ( llListFindList( OverrideList, llCSV2List( llDetectedName(0) ) == TRUE)
with this :
if ( llListFindList( OverrideList, (list)llDetectedName(0)) > -1)
ListFindList returns -1 when not found. otherwise the list index pos where it lies.

or instead of > -1
just != -1

ListFindList returns -1 when not found. otherwise the list index pos where it lies. I think the preferred form of finding an element's index in a list is by putting the element in its own list, rather then casting the element to a list. So, the line would be: if (llListFindList(OverrideList, [llDetectedName(0)]) != -1) However, in this case, (list)llDetectedName(0), [llDetectedName(0)] and llCSV2List(llDetectedName(0)) are all equivelant. The only problem I see with Tim's code, is the "== TRUE". The TRUE constant has a value of 1, so what that conditional is basicly checking for is if the index of llDetectedName in OverrideList is 1. ==Chris |

Thanks for your responsed people.
There were two problems with this. First of all the syntax error acme from the brackets.... I had missed off one closing bracked from the test! Feel like a fool.
As for the actual condition, once I had the bracket and the thing would save I figured the rest out and have used the != -1.
Script now works fine, the owner can lock and unlock the door and any others who are in the list get a "X has used a key to open the door" message. All others get a "X is knocking on the door" message.
