What I thought was a simple move script has me stomped.

I'm working on creating an object with a part that raises up or lowers down when a button is pressed.  I've pieced it together from several other scripts, it compiles but when the command is given nothing happens.

Prim script:

// Show Hide script

integer iSwitch ;

default 
{
    state_entry() 
    {
        key owner = llGetOwner();
        llListen(253465,"", owner, "MENU");
    }
    listen (integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
    {
        iSwitch = !iSwitch;
        
        if ( iSwitch == TRUE)
        {
            llSetPos(llGetPos() + <0,0,0.5>);
        }
        
        else if ( iSwitch == FALSE)
        {
            llSetPos(llGetPos() + <0,0,-0.5>);
        }
    }
}

 

Button Script:

default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
      llSay(253465, "MENU");
    }
}

Specifying "owner" in the llListen statement is often overkill. Your script will work if you just write

llListen(253465,"","","MENU");

Specifying owner in llListen will make your prim script listen only to the owner (the avatar that owns the object). But what you need is the script to listen to the button, so that's why it was not working. If you (assuming you are the owner) said "/253465 MENU" in local chat (without quotes), then it would work.

Removing that owner from llListen will make the prim script listen to any object and any avatar and will make it work with the button.

Wow, I figured it would be something simple.  Thank you!
