Script help? (Simple problem, but I suck at scripting)`

[Jessi Easterman]

Ok, basically, I want to make this script open on a chat command (/678 shirt) instead of on touch. Can anybody give me a hand?

 

list MENU1 = [];
list MENU2 = [];
integer listener;
integer MENU_CHANNEL = 1000;
 
// opens menu channel and displays dialog
Dialog(key id, list menu)
{
    llListenRemove(listener);
    listener = llListen(MENU_CHANNEL, "", NULL_KEY, "");
    llDialog(id, "Select one object below: ", menu, MENU_CHANNEL);
}
 
default
{
    on_rez(integer num)
    {
        // reset scripts on rez
        llResetScript();
    }
 
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        integer i = 0;
        MENU1 = [];
        MENU2 = [];
        // count the textures in the prim to see if we need pages
        integer c = llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_TEXTURE);
        if (c <= 12)
        {
            for (; i < c; ++i)
                MENU1 += llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_TEXTURE, i);
        }
        else
        {        
            for (; i < 11; ++i)
                MENU1 += llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_TEXTURE, i);
            if(c > 22)
                c = 22;
            for (; i < c; ++i)
                MENU2 += llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_TEXTURE, i); 
            MENU1 += ">>";
            MENU2 += "<<";                          
        }
        // display the dialog 
        Dialog(llDetectedKey(0), MENU1);
    }
 
    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message) 
    {
        if (channel == MENU_CHANNEL)
        {
            llListenRemove(listener);  
            if (message == ">>")
            {
                Dialog(id, MENU2);
            }
            else if (message == "<<")
            {
                Dialog(id, MENU1);
            }        
            else                    
            {
                // display the texture from menu selection 
                llSetTexture(message, ALL_SIDES);
 
            }      
        }
    }  
}

It may work but not a good menu builder to begin with. Go to the Marketplace and get Scripter Resource Kit A. It's free there. It includes an open source menu building API for any number of items.

The simple answer is to take everything that's in the touch_start event now, put a line that says

else if (channel == 678)

before it, and move the entire block into the listen event, after the three lines that say

                llSetTexture(message, ALL_SIDES);             }              }

To complete the exercise, add a state_entry event that says

state_entry(){    llListen(678,"",llGetOwner(),"");}

 There are lots better ways to write a multipage menu system, though, as Ela says.  Take a look at http://community.secondlife.com/t5/LSL-Library/Dynamic-Multi-page-Dialog-AKA-Pagination/td-p/708119, for example.
