RGB Color Change via Chat?

Greetings fellow scripters.

I has a simple request of your mighty combined knowledge.

I'm looking for a way to make a color script in which it would listen on a channel for the RGB color vector (such as <1.0, 0.5, 0.1>, etc.) via chat and color the prim accordingly.

I'm trying to work a way for users of my products to be able to easily recolor the item in any color freely while still keeping the permissions no-mod.

Any assisstance or advice would be greatly appreciated. :3

Simple enough. Something like:

integer CHANNEL = 17;

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llListen(CHANNEL, "", llGetOwner(), "");
    }
    
    changed(integer changes)
    {
        if (changes & CHANGED_OWNER)
        {
            llResetScript();
        }
    }

    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
    {
        if (llGetOwnerKey(id) != llGetOwner())
        {
            return;
        }

        llSetColor((vector)message, ALL_SIDES);
    }
}

oh awesome. I see what I was missing. I needed (vector)message to set the chat message to the rgb.

thanks. :3

Yes, that's called typecasting. message in the case of the listen event is a string variable, but if that string is a vector, you can cast it to a vector, then use it as such. Read the wiki section on typecasting, it covers alot of 'need to know' info concerning variables.
