a little help for change color script

[sndbad Ghost]

 hello friends i make sample script for change object color with TextBox

i use this script 

vector message ="" ;
integer  gListener;
default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {

        integer channel = -13572468;

        gListener = llListen( channel, "", "", "");     
        llTextBox(llDetectedKey(0), "Some info text for the top of the window...", channel);
    }
    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
    {
        llListenRemove(gListener);

        llSetColor(message, ALL_SIDES);
    }
}

its work fine . with master prim

but i need it works with linked prim not master object .

i hope you get what i mean

thanks

The LSL function, llSetColor, will apply color to the face of the root prim.  If you want to apply color to a face of a child prim, you'll have to use  llSetLinkColor or use llSetLinkPrimitiveParams with the PRIM_COLOR option.  Be sure that the color you apply is a vector.  As written, your script applies the variable, message, which is a string.  Before you apply it on the prim face, then, you'll either have to typecast it as (vector)message or use message to extract a color vector from a list you have saved in your script.

EDIT:  Actually, you have tried to do that typecasting, but have done it incorrectly.  You created a global vector variable called message, but then you used a different local variable, also called message, in your listen event.  The script will ignore your global variable because the local one will take precedence.  So, get rid of the useless global message and typecast the local one properly.

That script would not even compile so how you get it to work is beyond me. Vector message " " as you have it would not work.

yes is not work i try to fix errors

Will this do it?

// 1 - Create two prims and link them.// 2 - Name the child prim CHILD_01integer GetPrimNum(string n) {    integer i = llGetLinkNumber() != 0;    integer x = llGetNumberOfPrims() + i;     for (; i < x; ++i)        if (llGetLinkName(i) == n) return i;    return -1;}default{    touch_start(integer total_number)    {        llListen(-13572468, "", "NULL_KEY", "");             llTextBox(llGetOwner(), "Modified by Punkyboo ...", -13572468);    }    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)    {        key r = llGetOwnerKey(id); // Because llTextBox is NOT the owner itself.        key n = llGetOwner();        if (r != n) return;        else        {            llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(GetPrimNum("CHILD_01"), [PRIM_COLOR, -1, (vector)message, 1.0]);            llListenRemove(-13572468); // Make something like this the last iteration, always.        }    }}

 EDIT: Oh maybe you wanted it open to the public lol, here ya go...

// 1 - Create two prims and link them.// 2 - Name the child prim CHILD_01integer GetPrimNum(string n) {    integer i = llGetLinkNumber() != 0;    integer x = llGetNumberOfPrims() + i;     for (; i < x; ++i)        if (llGetLinkName(i) == n) return i;    return -1;}default{    touch_start(integer total_number)    {        llListen(-13572468, "", llDetectedKey(0), "");             llTextBox(llDetectedKey(0), "Modified by Punkyboo ...", -13572468);    }    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)    {        llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(GetPrimNum("CHILD_01"), [PRIM_COLOR, -1, (vector)message, 1.0]);        llListenRemove(-13572468); // Make something like this the last iteration, always.    }}
