what does this error mean?

Invalid parameter in llGiveMoney().

ok i have give money in one state and money in another.

in give money :
llGiveMoney(key givver, integer amount);
key is givver

and in money the key is giver.

i did this, and changed key givver = (key) giver in it.


reason is because i cant get the key to transfer elsewise.

is this error because i am playing a game that is registered under me, or is it that it doesnt understand givver?


ok i called key giver, and money=0 uptop. im afraid though that it wont pay out the right amount, and will pay out 0 on a win, is this correct?

It will usually give this error if amount <= 0, or you're passing an invalid key (or NULL_KEY) in the first parameter.

ok. so how do i set money in one state, and take over the giver and ammount to another state?

Im still not sure what your trying to do.
If you are unable to explain your problem a bit more throughly, I suggest posting the portion of your code where the problem(s) occur(s).

here is an example


integer multiplier = 2;
default {
money(key giver, integer cash)
}


state play {
state_entry() {
llGiveMoney(giver, cash*multiplier);
}


see it asks for money in the first state, then gives double your money back.

that is a very little example, but it shows what i mean.

WHat you can do, is have a global variable called cash, and set cash in the money event, and get cash in the play state, in llGiveMoney.

ok so cash will update the global variable for the next state? i thought that in each state it starts back at what global variable had it set to.

No, global variables persist across states. States would be pretty useless if they didn't.

ok so i call
key giver;
integer cash=0;

and i still get the error.

i think its because of the 0<= thing. but shouldnt the first state change the 0?

Try the example I posted at the following thread today...
