or even arms 1,0,0


can someone please help me with this?

for the most part i dont know how to get it to listen to the 3 digits and apply them to llSetLinkColor....

Well, listen will return what's said as a string, so you'll want to break that up using llParseString2List. Then you can grab the individual units out of the list and cast them back to whatever type you need.

Here's a quick and dirty example that doesn't do any sort of error checking at all:

parsemessage( string msg )
{
	// Chop up the incoming string into a list, 
	// splitting at (and discarding) spaces.
	list commandlist = llParseString2List( msg, [" "], [""] ) ;
	
	string command1 = llList2String( commandlist, 0 ) ;
	string command2 = llList2String( commandlist, 1 ) ;
	
	// Check the first word spoken to see if it's the right command.
	if( command1 == "color" )
	{
		// Take the second item spoken, and make it look like a vector.
		// It starts out looking like "1,0,0", so we add < > around it.
		command2 = "<" + command2 + ">" ;
		
		// Cast that into a vector.
		vector newcolor = (vector)command2 ;
		
		// Apply it!
		llSetColor( newcolor, ALL_SIDES ) ;
	}
}

default
{
	state_entry()
	{
		llListen( 3, "", llGetOwner(), "" ) ;
	}
	
	listen( integer chan, string name, key id, string msg )
	{
		parsemessage( msg ) ;
	}
}
