Color change not working?

[Kyric Leakey]

Hello again, I've got my script somewhat to where I want but I have an issue now where it just won't change the color when listening on command /88

 

integer MAX_HEARTS = 4; // Maximum number of hearts
integer currentHearts = MAX_HEARTS; // Initial number of hearts
vector textColor = <1.0, 0.0, 0.0>; // Initial text color (red)

// Function to update the health bar display
updateHealthBar()
{
    string displayText = "";
    string hpText = "HP " + (string)currentHearts + "/" + (string)MAX_HEARTS + "\n"; // HP text
    integer i;
    
    // Check if hearts are all gone
    if (currentHearts <= 0)
    {
        llSetText("BEWUSSTLOS", textColor, 1.5); // Change text color
        return;
    }

    // Construct the display text with hearts
    for (i = 0; i < currentHearts; i++)
    {
        displayText += "♥ "; // Add the heart symbol
    }

    // Display the hearts as floating text above the object
    llSetText(hpText + "\n" + displayText, textColor, 1.5); // Change text color, display HP text and hearts
}

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        // Display initial health bar
        updateHealthBar();
        
        // Listen for channel 88
        llListen(88, "", "", "");
    }
    
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        // Reduce the number of hearts when clicked
        if (currentHearts > 0)
        {
            currentHearts--;
            // Update the displayed hearts
            updateHealthBar();
        }
        else
        {
            llSetText("BEWUSSTLOS", textColor, 1.5); // Change text color
        }
    }

    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
    {
        // Check if the message is for color change and sender is the owner
        if (llGetSubString(message, 0, 0) == "/" && llGetOwner() == id)
        {
            list parts = llParseString2List(message, ["<", ",", ">"], []);
            if (llGetListLength(parts) == 4)
            {
                float r = (float)llList2String(parts, 1) / 255.0;
                float g = (float)llList2String(parts, 2) / 255.0;
                float b = (float)llList2String(parts, 3) / 255.0;
                textColor = <r, g, b>;
                updateHealthBar(); // Update the displayed health bar with the new text color
            }
        }
        else if (message == "PlusButtonClicked")
        {
            if (currentHearts < MAX_HEARTS)
            {
                currentHearts++;
                // Update the displayed hearts
                updateHealthBar();
            }
        }
        else if (message == "MinusButtonClicked")
        {
            if (currentHearts > 0)
            {
                currentHearts--;
                // Update the displayed hearts
                updateHealthBar();
            }
        }
        else if (message == "ResetButtonClicked")
        {
            // Reset the health bar to max hearts
            currentHearts = MAX_HEARTS;
            // Update the displayed hearts
            updateHealthBar();
        }
    }
}

 

Hope someone can spot the issue. Thank you in advanced!

listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)

integer channel not set to listen to 88 ?

It is I guess? because it's listening to the other events inside the same block on 88

I suggest when your code gets to the point where you are trying to change the color,  you use llSay() to output a debug message - and make sure the code reaches that point, etc.

For example:

        if (llGetSubString(message, 0, 0) == "/" && llGetOwner() == id)
        {
            list parts = llParseString2List(message, ["<", ",", ">"], []);
            if (llGetListLength(parts) == 4)
            {
                float r = (float)llList2String(parts, 1) / 255.0;
                float g = (float)llList2String(parts, 2) / 255.0;
                float b = (float)llList2String(parts, 3) / 255.0;
                textColor = <r, g, b>;
// Add some debug info here - show the code actually got  here and the new textColor value	
              	llSay(0, "Setting new textColor=" + (string)textColor); 
                updateHealthBar(); // Update the displayed health bar with the new text color
            }
        }
