Play sound on chat command

[Rafael Tower]

integer listener;

integer channel = 7;
string msg = "play";
string soundName = "sound";

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        listener = llListen(channel,"","",msg); 
    }

    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
    {
        llPlaySound(soundName,1.0);
    }
}

This is from the archive. But how to restric this script to owner only. (The sound will play only when something that belongs to owner emits the message.

integer listener;

 

integer channel = 7;

string msg = "play";

string soundName = "sound";

key ownerid;

 

default

{

state_entry()

{

ownerid = llGetOwner();//just the way i prefer

listener = llListen(channel, "", ownerid, "");

//listener = llListen(channel, "", llGetOwner(), "");// can do it this way also

}

 

listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)

{

llPlaySound(soundName,1.0);

}

}

[Rafael Tower]

It doesn't play any sound now. I'm confused ...

 

[Rafael Tower]

and when I use this

// www.lsleditor.org  by Alphons van der Heijden (SL: Alphons Jano)integer listener;integer channel = 7;string msg = "play";string soundName = "sound";key        ownerid;default{	state_entry()	{		listener = llListen(channel, "", ownerid, "");		//listener = llListen(channel, "", llGetOwner(), "");// can do it this way also	}	listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)	{		llPlaySound(soundName,1.0);	}}

It still plays a sound but from people's objects too.

[steph Arnott]

sound needs tio be called by its file name thats in the contents, Change this "sound" to what the file is named.

[Rafael Tower]

Yes it has be done and renamed

 

[steph Arnott]

You be better using llTriggerSound

"It still plays a sound but from people's objects too." yea ok.

[Rafael Tower]

And now works like a charm !

What is the difference between Playsound and triggersound ?

[Rafael Tower]

Thank you very much for your help Steph !!!

[steph Arnott]

Rather than  rewrite read Roligs explaination

https://community.secondlife.com/t5/LSL-Scripting/llPlaySound-or-llTriggerSound/td-p/2334469

Short answer is if the object is stationary use llTriggerSound else use llPlaySound if it is moveing, BTW you can limit the sound broadcast by using llTriggerSoundLimited. that will restrict the sound to a hard cut off

[Dora Gustafson]

Try this instead:

// www.lsleditor.org  by Alphons van der Heijden (SL: Alphons Jano)integer listener;integer channel = 7;string msg = "play";string soundName = "sound";default{    state_entry()    {        listener = llListen(channel,"","",msg);     }    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)    {
        if ( llGetOwnerKey( id) == llGetOwner() ) llPlaySound(soundName,1.0);    }}

Will only play on messages from an object with same owner

:smileysurprised::smileyvery-happy:

[steph Arnott]

Would work either way.

[Dora Gustafson]

Note that

if ( llGetOwnerKey( id) == llGetOwner() )

is not the same as

if ( id == llGetOwner() )

 :smileysurprised::smileyvery-happy:

[steph Arnott]

The llListen is allready set to owner only communications

This clearly states that limit.

ownerid = llGetOwner();//just the way i prefer		listener = llListen(channel, "", ownerid, "");		//listener = llListen(channel, "", llGetOwner(), "");// can do it this way also

[Dora Gustafson]

If llListen is filtering anything but the what is said by the owner then nothing said by objects (owned by owner or otherwise) will trigger the listen event

:smileysurprised::smileyvery-happy:

[steph Arnott]

Which is what i allready have done, it will listen only to the UUID of the object owner, your way will listen to everything on channel 7 and then filter. Whhy use a script to filter rather than the step before that?

[Dora Gustafson]

Because that was what the OP asked for
The op wanted his/her objects and no other objects, to trigger sound by chat

:smileysurprised::smileyvery-happy:

[steph Arnott]

Which is what i did, so am at a loss on this one. Nothing wrong with your way, tho seems more complcated than needed, but what ever.

[Dora Gustafson]

When you filter for owner no messages from owner's objects will come through the filter
This is what you do, so it is no wonder the OP didn't make it work

:smileysurprised::smileyvery-happy:

[steph Arnott]

This is the OPs and by agent chat on  channel 7 and not by an object.

" But how to restric this script to owner only. (The sound will play only when something that belongs to owner emits the message."

 listenHandle = llListen(0, "", llGetOwner(), "");    }     listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)    {//      we filtered to only listen on channel 0//      to the owner's chat in the llListen call above

Something that belongs to the owner is an object

An object and an Avatar do NOT have the same id, so when you filter for the Avatar id only, no messages with any other id comes through and nothing that belongs to the owner can trigger the sound

[steph Arnott]

Just ran it inworld and works just fine

 ADDED, Went in world with my test alt, it does not hear me.

ADDED, OK "only when something that belongs to owner emits the message." i get your point, my error.

[steph Arnott]

Your script is correct, mine was based on the script presented.

[Dora Gustafson]

I'm happy we can agree on this one and happy you realize the complexity of the problem
Sometimes things are not as simple as they look at first glance

Scripting is tricky

Keep up the good work

Say one is wrong and accepting it is more important.
