thankyou that did work but I dont want it to be read off the hover text I would like it to be read by the board

Sabrina Tamerlane · June 23, 2020

For that you will need to add 2 scripts (master and slave) as explained here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/XyzzyText

And then you will use link messages to display the text as shown on the top of the page.

ETA: if you already have the board ready then you only need the link message.

that makes sense in my head but doing it on paper is a little hard lol this is the slave script also attached is the a photo of what scripts the board came with

Okay, then under:

llSetText(gBuildText, <1,1,1>, 1);

add this line:

llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS,DISPLAY_STRING, gBuildText,"0");

in the master or slave scriptI looked thought slave script and could not find it

Sabrina Tamerlane · June 23, 2020

Don't edit those master and slave scripts, just make sure you have them. Do that in your own script.

that was an error even without the closing line i still get the error

forgot to add a picture

Sabrina Tamerlane · June 23, 2020

Oh, that was the closing brace from the next line! You need that one. I suggest you do it again. Take back the script that was working and add the line again. Because the error displayed says (75, 132) where 75 is the line number of the error, and 132 is the column number. So, there must be some garbage after that brace. I didn't think much of it when you have shown that error but now I realize that it was not caused by the brace, but by something else after it. You could double click on the error to see what it was but the simplest is to restart from where it was working and add the line another time.

now it says name define within scope I take it i need to enter link this display string and what do I link it too?

Sabrina Tamerlane · June 23, 2020

DISPLAY_NAME is defined at the top of your file, it should be ok. Maybe someone else can figure what is going wrong?

thankyou so much for helping me

Rolig Loon · June 23, 2020

You are learning how to debug your own scripts. It's part of the fun of being a scripter. We all do it. Every once in a while someone else can peek into your scripts and spot whatever is wrong with it, but that's a long shot. Nobody knows your scripts better than you do. Nobody else has followed the logic that you wove together as you created them. No matter how frustrated you may feel, you are the best person to fix your own script errors. Here are some things that can help:

1. Make a habit of adding comment statements that will remind you what key variables do or how a loop is meant to function.

2. Develop a system for labeling variables so that you know what type they are (integer, float, vector, string ...) and whether they are defined globally or locally.

3. Develop a healthy OCD about the picky little things (matching brackets, closing lines with a semicolon, ...) that commonly keep a script from compiling.

4. Know exactly how each scope (each state, event, and block of code within them) is defined. Know which brackets open and close them and which variables are defined in them.

5. Be very careful about reusing variable names in different parts of the script.

6. Write scripts incrementally, testing individual parts as you add them, so that you can build upon success as you go. Don't change several things at once.

7. Be very careful about counters ... variable that keep track of which list element you are using at the moment or how many times you have run around a loop. Be sure that you reset them properly and that they don't get reset accidentally in other parts of the script.

8. Insert llOwnerSay statements or other diagnostic messages to tell you exactly what's happening as your script executes.

9. Keep a file of "tricks" that have worked for you in previous scripts, so that you don't have to reinvent them each time.

10. Keep copies of your work as you go along, and assign version numbers to them so that you can step back in inventory to pull out a previous version and start over when necessary.

11. Take a deep breath from time to time. Walk around the block. Play with the dog. Come back to look at your script with fresh eyes.

12. Create your own checklist of things that you typically do wrong. We all make our own unique mistakes. (Mine is improper typecasting. )

Leo Cloud · June 23, 2020

ok I was able to fix my problem I messed up the script somehow now it works but the problem is the board is not showing the full text only the end of the text is there a type of script that will fix this?

Sabrina Tamerlane · June 23, 2020

Oh, I knew that problem would arise but I didn't tell you because that would have been too much to handle.

llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS,DISPLAY_STRING, gBuildText,"0");

This prints the text on the first line of the board. If you wanted to print on the second life then you need to replace the "0" with a "1", because lines are numbered "0", "1", "2" and so on...

So you have got some homework to do before it works.

One way is to find how many characters are actually printed on the first line. You can do that manually by counting them or by looking at the documentation or the source code.

Once you know how long is a line then you need to split your string in shorter strings so that it would fit on the board.

But there is a simpler way, by using this function: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlParseString2List

It should be a good idea to use "\n" as separator.

Once you have your list then you just need to loop over it and print each line on the board.

So, first things first, you should use llParseString2List()

Then you will need to count how many elements are in the list.

And third you will need to use a for loop to display each element in the list line by line

thjanks for helping me so much I donno what I would do

Sabrina Tamerlane · June 24, 2020

You are almost there but it's not finished. Replace this line:

            llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS,DISPLAY_STRING, gBuildText,"0");

with these 2 lines:

            list lines = llParseString2List(gBuildText, ["\n"], []) ;
            llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS,DISPLAY_STRING, llList2String(lines, 0),"0");

As you can see we use llParseString2List to break the text in multiple lines. This should display the first line.

i know I am using this forum alot but this just looks strange I hate asking a stupid qestions but its the only way for me to learn I really wish that there was a scripting class in second life I am not sure why this bracket is showing an error

You should check that you have as many opening brackets '{' than closing ones '}'.

Sabrina Tamerlane · June 24, 2020

When it was working, your script was finishing like this:

        else if (request_id == gHttpRequestId2)
        {
            if (status == 200 && llSubStringIndex(body, "<item>") != -1)
            {
                string commitData = cutString(body, "item");
                gBuildText += "\n---\n" + cutString(commitData, "title");
                gBuildText += "\n" + cutString(commitData, "link");
                gBuildText += "\n" + cutString(commitData, "pubDate");
            }
            llSetText(gBuildText, <1,1,1>, 1);
        }
    

    }
}

At the end you had 3 '}'. Where are they now?

When you write a script you put lines into blocks. A line is ended by ';' and a block begins with '{' and finishes with '}'. If the compiler complains, it is because it can neither recognize a line or a block. The 3 '}' at the end mean that 3 blocks are finishing. One of them comes is the else block, one other is the http_response block and the last one is the state default. When a block starts it begins with a '{' and finishes with a '}'.

I got that correct but now nothing comes up on the board when i clicked save that is what happened
