Stopping Sound in a chat activated script

Okay, so I am almost a complete tyro when it comes to scripting, though I have been learning a bit lately. This morning I went to the Autoscript page, and was very pleased that I was able to quickly create a couple of useful scripts. Simple ones, yes, but useful to me nonetheless.

Then, I decided to have it create a script that would play a sound loop when given a chat command. I got this:

default
{

    state_entry() {
        llListen(3,"", NULL_KEY, "");
    }

    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message) {
        if (message == "Engine on") {

        llLoopSound(llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_SOUND,0),1);

        }
    }

}
CODE


Okay, fine, that worked. I gave the command, and the sound started. So far so good. After a couple of minutes, however, it occurred to me that I needed a way to STOP the sound. So after a lot of tries, a lot of syntax errors, and a few bad words, I came up with this:

CODE
default
{

    state_entry() {
        llListen(3,"", NULL_KEY, "");
    }

    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message) {
        if (message == "Engine on") 
        {llLoopSound(llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_SOUND,0),1);

        if (message == "Engine off") 
        {llStopSound();} 

        }
    }

}


"Yay, it finally compiled!" I thought. I saved and closed it, and with great anticipation gave the stop command. It ignored me. I made sure the script was set to running, then reset it. It pretended I didn't exist.

Sooo, I went and looked at the wiki regarding the llStopSound command. All I could find was a definition of the command, and on another page there was an example of how NOT to do it, but with no discussion of how TO do it. When I went to the discussion page, it invited me to write about it myself. Yeah, right. :P

So, you see, I am not merely trying to take the lazy way out. I HAVE done some research. To an experienced scripter, I am sure the solution to my problem is glaringly obvious. Anyone care to enlighten me?  :)

Make sure you're capitalizing correctly. As it is you need to say exactly 'Engine off' for it to work.

If you want it to work with any caps version, then use if(llToLower(message)=="engine off"

Thanks, Keira, but my problem is my scripting, not my typing. In fact, the reason I wanted this to start with chat is that I have another script that gives the command in chat. But, either way, by script or by typing, (correctly) it won't stop.

It appears you didn't close the brackets after the loop sound line, ending that if, so you continued it for if the message is 'Engine on' and then ALSO if message is 'Engine off', which won't work.

Hey! That's got it! Thanks SOOO much!

See, I knew it was something obvious. I'll get better at this, though, with practice.
Now I know that much, at least.

Glad it's fixed ^-^

Have fun, and good luck with all your endeavors
