Hi,

I've been doing okay at picking up LSL, but im a little lost as to the 'proper' way to do a cyclical dataserver request from a function until i have harvested all the data i need from that function, which will only respond with one variable at a time. After that point i need have it execute my own function requiring that data, once all the data i need was collected. The particular function i am working with in relation to the dataserver event is llRequestAgentData and is triggered by avatar touch.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

call the dataserver event from your main function, then repeat call it again INSIDE the dataserver to loop until its complete

Think of the datacenter as the for loop...

Alternatively, you could use seperate states. At the end of your dataserver event, call a new state. In state_entry(), setup for the next dataserver event.

Not the most efficient way of doing it, but much easier to organize your data if you're unfamiliar with these events, and sometimes necessary.
