Getting scripting errors - help!

[Caspian Dionysus]

I'm writing a script that will send message based on keys. Everything on the script is good, except I keep getting syntax errors on the else if statement. Before I added that part into the script it worked fine. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

 

list message = [
" message"];

list TrinMessage = [
" test message."];

list PoohMessage = [
" test msg."];

integer messageNumber;
integer TrinMessageNumber;
integer PoohMessageNumber;

string Trin = "removed keys for privacy"; 
string Pooh = "removed keys for privacy";
 default
 {
     touch_start(integer num_detected)
     {
         integer x;
        key     detectedKey;
        
        for (x = 0; x < num_detected; x += 1)
        {
            detectedKey = llDetectedKey(x);
        if (detectedKey == Trin)
            {
            TrinMessageNumber = (integer)llFrand((float)llGetListLength(TrinMessage));
            llSay(0, llGetDisplayName(llDetectedKey(0)) + llList2String(TrinMessage,TrinMessageNumber)); 
            }
       
            detectedKey = llDetectedKey(x);
      else if (detectedKey == Pooh)
            { 
            PoohMessageNumber = (integer)llFrand((float)llGetListLength(PoohMessage));
            llSay(0, llGetDisplayName(llDetectedKey(0)) + llList2String(PoohMessage,PoohMessageNumber));
            }
                
        else
            {  
            messageNumber = (integer)llFrand((float)llGetListLength(message));
            llSay(0, llGetDisplayName(llDetectedKey(0)) + llList2String(message,messageNumber));
            }
            
        }
         
     }
 }

You spelled detectedKey "detectedkey".  Typos will get you every time. 

[Caspian Dionysus]

I fixed the misspelling and it still throws the same error. 

[Rolig Loon]

Hmmm... and "Pooh" is defined as a key?   What exactly is the error?

[Rolig Loon]

Oh, wait!  You have an extra line just before the else if statement.  Get rid of the

         detectedKey = llDetectedKey(x);

[KT Kingsley]

I think you're getting the error because the line detectedKey = llDetectedKey(x); is between the closing bracket of the if section and the start of the else if section.

Yes Pooh is a key. 

Syntax Error at the beginning of the else if line

If I remove it from there, it tells me the detected key in the else if statement isn't defined. When I added it, that error went away and it gave a syntax error. 

Edit:

Crap now it worked. geez...thank you for making me try that again. It works now.

I think it's telling you that the variable Trin is undefined in this section of script. Presumably it does get defined somewhere in the full script?

For whatever reason it didn't give me that error again when I removed it. lol  so your suggestion worked. Thank you!
