IFF listen Check for scripting.

[Altier Verwood]

Hello SL scripting  people me again! I have a question about a listen check, I'm trying  a  dozy of a thing and I want to know if it is even possible.

first off is the script. I want to  take this script a step farther. and have it check the name of the  object.

the  name is this 

CG REP Z-95 3.6

all my  objects match this naming convention with  a 3 letter tag just  after CG, I want to  make it so that  resupply checks that REP or IMP or SEP etc and only then will it accept the command.

but I can't figure out how to do a listen script so complex like that. would it be a while loop? I need a lot of help on this one.

 

string resupply_command="R1";

 listen(integer chn, string nam, key id, string msg)
    {
    if (msg == resupply_command && chn== -HIDDEN)
            {
        llSleep(1);
        //ammo_storeage = ammo_storeage_MAX;
        ammo_count = ammo_count_MAX ;
        llWhisper(0,damage_type +" Remaining Rounds "+(string)ammo_count);
            }
    }

Inside the listen event

If llGetSubString(name, 0, 5) == "CG REP") // is the name of the sending object in m class of names?

and then only process the heard text if the name of the sending object fits your naming pattern.

Oh man this looks like what I need, is there a way to make it automatically get the name from the object ?

If llGetSubString(llgetobjectname(), 0, 5) == "CG REP") kind of thing?

Yes, you can read the object name of the listener prim and extract the first 5 characters into a global variable "nameTag" and use that as the comparison.

Oh, could you elaborate a bit on that one? I've never done something like that.

[Profaitchikenz Haiku]

// outside the states we declare global variablees and functions

string nameTag;

// inside state_entry we read the object nname annd xtrat five characters as the nae tag

default
{
    state_entry()
	{
		nameTag = llGetSubString(llGetObjectName(), 0, 5);	// we will only action messages from other objects with this prefix in their name
	}

// then in the listen event
	listen(integer ch, string name, key id, string msg)
	{
		if( llGetSubString(namme, 0, 5) == nameTag)
		{
			// we hear and obey
		}
		// otherwise we do a van-gogh (turn a deaf ear) "I hear no sheeps"
	}

}

I think I am still doing something wrong, it's still taking commands regardless of the sub string. here is the current code.

  state_entry()  
{
    llListen(-HIDDEN, "", "", "");
    nameTag = llGetSubString(llGetObjectName(), 0, 5);
    //llWhisper(0,damage_type +" Remaining Rounds "+(string)ammo_count);
}
       listen(integer chn, string nam, key id, string msg)
    {
    if (msg == resupply_command && chn == -HIDDEN&& llGetSubString(nam, 0, 5) == nameTag);
            {
        llSleep(1);
        //ammo_storeage = ammo_storeage_MAX;
        ammo_count = ammo_count_MAX ;
        llWhisper(0,damage_type +" Remaining Rounds "+(string)ammo_count);
            }
    }

You don't need to check if( chn == -HIDDEN), because you've already filtered for the channel number in your llListen statement.   More than that, though, you don't want the semicolon at the end of that line.

If the spaces are consistent you only need http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlParseString2List to create the list.
