llSubString

[TonyBowlin]

So what I'm trying to do here is have a listen on channel 4. that message coming in would be.

"kb(Legacy name)"

Example: ""kbTonyBowlin Resident"

And the legacy name changes often so the only consistency in the message is the kb at the start

Now I want this listen to get that message and then llSetObjectDesc(killer);

killer would be the end result of a llDeleteSubString of the first two characters.

 

I'm just not sure how to have the listen get that kb message.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you want to get rid of the first two characters of the message received in the listen event, try 

message = llDeleteSubString(message,0,1);

(People start counting at 1.    Computers start at 0).

 

[Xiija]

in your listen...

if( llGetSubString(message, 0, 1) == "kb")

{  llSetObjectDesc( llDeleteSubString(message,0,1) );

}
