ISSUE: SetTexture via passed UUID

Im sure this is a simple mistake on my end, just havent been able to figure it out

Im passing a texture key via email to a "client" object from a server. Instructing the client to switch the texture to the UUID.

Well, It keeps telling me 'Couldn't find Texture'

Ive tried passing the key and setting it as a string, as a key, using llKey2Name, nothing works.

Help Anyone?

Have you tried adding an llSay in the client and printing the received texture key, and then verifying that it's correct? Also, posting the server and client code (or at least, the parts involved here) might help.

I hope your llSexTexture is adult and this isn't llAgePlay!

I have no answer for this, but needed to point out that the thread title sounds like some kind of awful SLextually Transmitted MetaVirus problem.

Damn, I totally missed that. LOL.

LMAO

I also missed that. Talk about a bad timed TYPO lol

But yeah, after testing quite a few ways, it doesnt seem to work, here's the portion of the code that reads the email received and attempts to set the texture.

email(string time, string address, string subject, string message, integer num_left)
    {
        if(subject == "registered")
        {
            // put in stuff to read host data
            llSay(0, "Client Status: " + subject);
            message = llDeleteSubString(message, 0, llSubStringIndex(message, "%!") + 1);
            llSay(0, "Message Received: " + message);
            if (llSubStringIndex(message, " ") == -1)
            {
                llSetTexture((key)message, ALL_SIDES);
            }
            else
            {
                llDeleteSubString(message, llSubStringIndex(message, " "), llSubStringIndex(message, " ") + 1);
                llSetTexture((key)message, ALL_SIDES);
            }
            
        }
    }

Doc, what sim are you in? llSexTexture won't work in PG.

Funny thing is, I've compared the UUID to what is sent via the email msg, and its all the same. The SetTexture works by setting the key manually but not via the same key passed via email.

*scratches head*

You have an llDeleteSubString that isn't assigned to anything. If it's going into that case, the original message still has the space in it, and it won't work.

Like I said, put in llSays right before every call to llSetTexture, so you know the exact string that gets passed into that function. It would also help to identify the llSays in some way so you know which one got called.

I recently did something similar...I ended up with solutions similar to what is already here in this thread except for one thing: I copied the texture to the Server object. I had the same problem as you...'texture not found' - copying the texture into the Server solved it right away

You'll hate me.

Remove the (key) typecasting on llSetTexture; its string, not key.

Thanks for the responses guys. I actually hate myself. It was a STUPID LITTLE bug, kinda like I figured, but one where I just wanted to bang my head against the wall for a good 20 minutes.

The email message was sending a space at the end of the key. so the SetTexture was trying to use a key with a space at the end. So I parsed that out, and bam, there it is.

Oh, and yes, SetTexture takes a string, but if your passing it a key, you have to typecast the string. The key typecast is based off the string typecast. =)
