Reading a listen from notecards

[CampSoup1988]

I am trying to write a script that reads a list of keys into a list in the script from a notecard.

 

For an example, I have the notecards called CardA, CardB, & CardC, and I have a list called ListA, ListB, ListC, where CardA is copied into ListA, etc.

 

Thank you in advance,

Take a look at THIS SCRIPT, which reads a list of names from a notecard and puts them into a list.  Also, take a look at the LSL wiki to see how llGetNotecardLine works.  You'll find a couple of example scripts there that show you how to read more than one notecard.

Ok, Ill look at the first link.  I started reading the wiki, and the first example gave me errors with what i wanted and the other ones seemed too complicated

The easiest way to learn a new skill in scripting is to start with a sample script that already works.  Modify it a little bit at a time to see how it behaves and to understand its logic.   Gradually morph it into a script that does what you want.  If you get stuck, come back here and post your script (or at least the part that doesn't work right).  We won't usually write a script for you, but people in this forum will be glad to help you learn how to do it.

What are you having trouble with?

This simple script can read note card data into a list.
It requires that all data are on the first line in the card and data are separated by commas, say:
key1,key2,key3...

list ListA;

string dataCard="CardA";

key cQuery;


default

{

    state_entry()

    {

        cQuery = llGetNotecardLine(dataCard, 0);

    }

    dataserver(key query_id, string data)

    {

        if (query_id == cQuery) ListA = llCSV2List( data );

    }

}

You just have to expand this script for all cards and lists.
As others has suggested: Look up the LSL functions in the wiki:)

The first example under "Useful Snippets" in the wiki section to which Rolig directed you," Generic Multi Notecard reader by Brangus Weir," does, it seems to me, exactly what you asked about -- reads a list of names from a card called "One" into a list called "gOneCard", and then finds a card called "Two" and reads the list of names from that into "gTwoCard", and then finds a card called "Three" and reads that into "gThreeCard".

All you need to do, to my mind, with that script, is alter the bit of the user function there, initialize (string _action), to do what you want when the script has finished reading the three cards.   That's the bit,

else if ( _action == "finish"){  // read out all the lists to prove it works }

Change it to something like

else if ( _action == "finish"){  
    llOwnerSay("Right, read the cards; let's boogie");
    state running;
    }

and then open your listens and so on in state_entry of state running.

I'm a bit confused by the title of your post; you can't, unfortunately, have a listener that listens listen to all uuids on a list and to no one else.   You have to set up a listener on the lines of

 

list my_list;default{	state_entry(){		llListen(99,"","","");  //listen to anyone on channel 99	}		listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message){		if(~llListFindList(my_list,[id])){//if the uuid of the person we heard from is to be found in my_list			//then do stuff		}		else{		llInstantMessage(id,"Sorry, "+name+",but you aren't on my list so I'm not listening to you");		}	}}
