Send list to another object

[mischief Goldshark]

is there a way to send a list from 1 object to another in 1 message?

i need to send a list of keys from 1 object to another, the list may have 0-10 keys in it..

thanks

No and yes. 

No, you can't pass a list to a different script directly. But you can dump the list into a string, send the string and parse it into the list again in the receiving string. Look at llDumpList2String and llParseString2List.

How you send the message - saying it in some way (llSay, llWhisper ...) depends on the situation.

I work on similar thing, and have list with keys. But something I am making wrong...

List that i recive ( list t)  is uuid1,uuid2,uuid3,uuid4,uuid5

 

string tex1;
string tex2;
string tex3;
string tex4;
string tex5;

default
{
state_entry()
{
llListen(1, "", "", "");
}
listen( integer channel, string name, key id, string message )
{
if (channel == 1)
{
list t= [message]; // on list are 5 texture UUID's
integer i = 0;
integer end = llGetListLength(t);
for (; i<end; ++i)

llSay(0,message); //Test of listen event

tex1=llList2String(t,1);
tex2=llList2String(t,2);
tex3=llList2String(t,3);
tex4=llList2String(t,4);
tex5=llList2String(t,5);

llSetTexture((key)tex1,1);

llSetTexture((key)tex2,2);

llSetTexture((key)tex3,4);

llSetTexture((key)tex4,5);

llSetTexture((key)tex5,6);
}


}
on_rez(integer param)
{
llResetScript();
}

}

You never parse the message into a list

list t = llParseString2List(message, [","], []);

Keep in mind also that if you run into a null key or a null value and you try to send it, if a specific order is expected on the receiving end your values will be out of sync (missing the null values). Always check for null values before sending the string to the receiving end. Replace null values with a place-holder value so that the receiving end knows what it is.
