Hello I need help with a color changing script

What i am trying to do is to have a prim object changed is color by command,I am making a stone,and wanted to change different colors,like i would say
/5 Diamond red or /5 safari blue,how would i able to do that ?anyone if they can help me plz.

Hrm,

This kind of thing is explained pretty clearly in the wiki here ... but...

integer giChannel = 5;  // Channel to listen on

default
{
     state_entry()
     {
          llListen(giChannel, "", llGetOwner(), "");
     }

     listen(integer iChan, string sName, key kId, string sMes)
     {
          if (sMes == "safari blue") llSetColor(<0, 0, 255>, ALL_SIDES);
          if (sMes == "diamon red") llSetColor(<255, 0, 0>, ALL_SIDES);
          if (sMes == "emerald green") llSetColor(<0, 255, 0>, ALL_SIDES);
     }
}

The commands are case sensitive in this example.

I won't go into the details of listener events specifically but be sure to read about them. Most of us aren't fans of listener overkill. Incidentally, if you're planning to have it as part of an attachment, be sure to link it last.

Commands you'll need: llListen(), listen(), llSetColor().

EDIT: And it took me so long to get around to actually typing that out that someone wrote something out all ready. Ah, well, at least I get points for trying.

You Do realize that llSetcolor() can only take vectors with values from 0.0 to 1.0

fixed code.

integer giChannel = 5;  // Channel to listen on

default
{
     state_entry()
     {
          llListen(giChannel, "", llGetOwner(), "");
     }

     listen(integer iChan, string sName, key kId, string sMes)
     {
          if (sMes == "safari blue") llSetColor(<0.0, 0.0, 1.0>, ALL_SIDES);
          if (sMes == "diamon red") llSetColor(<1.0, 0.0, 0.0>, ALL_SIDES);
          if (sMes == "emerald green") llSetColor(<0.0, 1.0, 0.0>, ALL_SIDES);
     }
}

thank you again Talena Wallaby,Jack Lambert,Talila Liu , i appreciated

For a vector or any other float, you may use the decimal value:

1 is 1.0

.1 is 0.10

Basically vector colours greater than 1.0 are still 1.0 but I think of colours in RGB

I do this because I'm old skool. I still prefer VIM over Notepad, too

the script works great just what i was looking for,but when i give the item to someone else,the command doens't work?.what to do?..

llResetScript()

integer giChannel = 5; // Channel to listen on

default
{
state_entry()
{
llListen(giChannel, "", llGetOwner(), "";
}

listen(integer iChan, string sName, key kId, string sMes)
{
if (sMes == "safari blue" llSetColor(<0.0, 0.0, 1.0>, ALL_SIDES);
if (sMes == "diamon red" llSetColor(<1.0, 0.0, 0.0>, ALL_SIDES);
if (sMes == "emerald green" llSetColor(<0.0, 1.0, 0.0>, ALL_SIDES);
}
}

on_rez(integer start_param)
{
llResetScript();
}
