Global Variables Not Updating?

[GTASkinCentral]

Hi guys!

I was making a quick script to detect all avatar's age in a region in days. Here is my script, only issue is, the Name and UUID that are set as global variables do not change, whilst the days that should be shown do. Any ideas?

 

integer detectionTime = 25;

integer listLength;
string  currName;
key     currID;

integer findDays(string data)
{
    integer result;
    list parse_date = llParseString2List(data, ["-"], []);
    integer year = llList2Integer(parse_date, 0);
    result = (year - 2000) * 365;
    list days = [ 0, 31, 59, 90, 120, 151, 181, 212, 243, 273, 304, 334 ];
    result += llList2Integer(days, (llList2Integer(parse_date, 1) - 1));
    if (year/4 == llRound(year/4)) result += 1;
    result += llList2Integer(parse_date, 2);
 
    return result;
}

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSetTimerEvent(0.1);
    }
    
    timer()
    {
        integer i;
        list    allAvatars = llGetAgentList(AGENT_LIST_REGION, []);
        integer listLength = llGetListLength(allAvatars);
        do
        {
            llRequestAgentData(llList2String(allAvatars,i), DATA_BORN);
            currName = llKey2Name(llList2Key(allAvatars,i));
            currID = llList2Key(allAvatars,i);
        }
        while(++i < listLength);
        llSetTimerEvent(detectionTime);
    }
    
    dataserver(key queryid, string data) 
    {
        integer today = findDays(llGetDate());
        integer age   = findDays(data);
        
        llOwnerSay(currName+"("+(string)currID+") was born "+(string)age+" days ago.");
    }
    
}

Lets say you have 10 avatars on your sim.

The timer event in your script fires and the global variables will run through all 10 avatars while you stack 10 dataserver events at the same time.
Loop is finished and currID and currName contain the last avatar in the list.
Once the timer event is finished the script can execute other events, there are 10 dataserver events that will fire now one after the other and use currName and currID and that contains the last avatar from the list.

Your logic is faulty because you are assuming that event are interrupts. No, they are not. Events are only executed if the script is idle at that moment.

If events come in faster than they are executed they are stored in a queue. (max. 64 entries)

try putting your loop in the data event?

adding to "i"  and querying from within the dataserver will loop for you, then check for list end and reset "I"  ...
