Door - personal message?

Hi SL people - I have fiddled a bit with my door script and changed a few bits but have no idea how to do this...

The door usually says: 'persons name' is at the door - I want it to say a personal message if one named person is at the door, so need a line or 2 of script that says, for example: If [person at door is 'best friend'] Say: "You're always welcome here best friend"

Get the idea? Have I explained it OK? Any help appreciated - here's the existing script:

-----

integer open(string av_name) // Opens the door.
{
if (open_sound != ""
llTriggerSound(open_sound, 0.5);
if (open_message != ""
llSay(0, replace(open_message,"nn",av_name));
// vv Replace this snippet with custom code to close the door vv
rotation rot = llGetRot();
rotation delta = llEuler2Rot(<0,0,-PI/4>;
rot = delta * rot;
llSetRot(rot);
llSleep(0.25);
rot = delta * rot;
llSetRot(rot);
// ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
return TRUE;
}

Cat, Please use PHP tags when posting code. It make sit far easier for everyone to read.

I am assuming open_message is a string defined as "nn is at the door."

The 'easy' option, which is also the most limited in functionality, would be to code up something like the following:-

string BestFriendsName = "Newgate Ludd";
string IsBestFriend = "You're always welcome here ";

integer open(string av_name) // Opens the door.
{
    if (open_sound != "")
        llTriggerSound(open_sound, 0.5);

    if(av_name == BestFriendsName)
   {
        llSay(0, IsBestFriend + av_name);
   }
   else if (open_message != "")
        llSay(0, replace(open_message,"nn",av_name));

    // vv Replace this snippet with custom code to close the door vv 
    rotation rot = llGetRot();
    rotation delta = llEuler2Rot(<0,0,-PI/4>);
    rot = delta * rot;
    llSetRot(rot);
    llSleep(0.25);
    rot = delta * rot;
    llSetRot(rot);
// ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
return TRUE;
}

The problem with the above code is that you woudl need to edit the script each time you changed best friends....

But I wouldn't count that as a big problem unless you change best friends twice a day. The name is right up there at the top of the script. How hard can it be to change that?

I didnt say it was big problem Daisy, just a problem. I hate having to recompile scripts for any reason that is purely to do with configuration. I'd rather add extra code to handle a notecard.
