How easy to add a "Only these Avatars" to a TP script?

I have a nice simple free TP script that just "does the job" so to speak (think it originally came from here)

Is it resonably easy to add into such an item a extra few line that contain two or three Avatar names, and only people who's names are there can use it?

Don't need any messages to others, or anything.

Just is someone who is not in the program listing clicks it, (the prim) nothing happens.

In the touch_start event, just put in an if test to compare llDetectedName with each of the specific avatar names. If TRUE, proceed. Otherwise, don't.

See

list Access = ["My mame", "your Name", "his name", Her name"];

if(~llListFindList(Access, [llDetectedName(0)])
{
llInstantMessage(llDetectedKey(0), "Sorry, you are not on my list";
}
else
{
//your TP function here
}

Wow, many thanks for that, will have a fiddle and see if I have any luck

Should'nt that be "if(!~llListFindList(Access, [llDetectedName(0)])"?

(notice the ! before ~)

Thanks for this, but I can't figure out how to integrate this inti my script (dont VERY little script stuff on SL as of yet)

May I send you the script in-world or post here? (f you have time)

As I suggested earlier, you put it in the touch_start event, right where the script currently does whatever it does when you touch it. The current stuff goes where Very wrote "// your TP function here." Give it a try.

BTW, when you type the list of avatar names into the list Access declaration, be sure that each name is spelled (and capitalized) exactly the way it is in SL and that you place it in quotes.

good catch. or switch the logic of the functions

personally I prefer
if (~find){
//--do
}

because I'm mean and want them to wonder about the silent failure (actually because only my users need feedback in this scenario)

I always seam to reverse my logic with the ~ function, especially when I type a quick reply and don't test in LSLEditor. Would have been fun to debug till the OP realised that anyone not on the list could TP

I admit to having done that before =X
