real easy ll Listen problem

[Malix Orfan]

hello can anyone help? this is an easy one I know! I have two scripts. one says something on channel ), one listens. Now, it works when I say the magic word in chat, but not when the script says it!

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSetTimerEvent(10);
    }

    timer() {
        llSay(0,"plus");
    }
}

 

and the listener is:

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llListen(0, "", NULL_KEY, "" );
    }
    listen( integer channel, string name, key id, string message )
    {
            if ( message == "plus" )
            {
                llWhisper( 0, "more!" );
            }      
    }
}

 

what am I doing wrong?

(yes I know its a basic question, couldn't find anything in any docs!

thanks!

Are the scripts in the same object?  As I recall, objects cannot hear themselves (to prevent recursion problems).

Aside from the technical issue, you're also listening on the public chat chanel and (more than that) not closing the listener when you are done with it.  That's a bad practice to get into, because it leads to chat lag for everyone in the area.

Can't imagine why you would need a scriptset like that, but if you do, here's a way to do it:

 

default{    state_entry()    {         llSetTimerEvent(10);    }
    timer()    {        llMessageLinked(LINK_SET, 1, "", NULL_KEY)      }}and the "listener" is:default{    link_message(integer src, integer num, string str, key id)    {        if(num)          {          llWhisper( 0, "more!" );          }          }}
