Dataserver issue

[2toe Bigboots]

Hello im trying to have a notecard read but i want it to be based off what what said in chat or linkmessage. Ive tried a few things but keep gerring errors. any tips on this? Or use a menu to list  notecards in inventory and send choise that way

could you be a bit more specific?

okay so i want to put a message on notecards (as many as i feel ) and youch button to open textbox say name of note card (named for my mesg) it says name. root then finds and reads it on 0.  but i cant seem to figure how to make it query what was said in chat

this would get you the first line of the notecard named like the text box input

listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message) {	llGetNotecardLine(message, 0);}

You can start the dataserver going with something like this:

key query;integer counter;string notecard;///	listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)	{		if(llGetInventoryType(message)==INVENTORY_NOTECARD){			counter = 0;			notecard = message;			query = llGetNotecardLine(notecard,counter);		}	}////}

 ETA Darkie beat me to it.

so that will relay the notecards key right,

Well i know its messy havent even started to clean up lol  but ya idk this dont seem to work like i want. i say /-999 test

and it shouts a key for the notecard. and error can not find notecard'

 

string gName;    // name of a notecard in the object's inventoryinteger gLine = 0;list cards = [];//key rQueryID;key query_id;integer counter;string notecard; string said;key gQueryID; // id used to identify dataserver queriesdefault {    state_entry() {        llListen(-999,"","","");        gName = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_NOTECARD, 0); // select the first notecard in the object's inventory        gQueryID = llGetNotecardLine(gName, gLine);    // request first line    }    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)    {        if(llGetInventoryType(message)==INVENTORY_NOTECARD){            counter = 0;            notecard = message;            query_id = llGetNotecardLine(notecard,counter);            said = llGetNotecardLine(llKey2Name(notecard),counter);            llShout(0,said);        }    }    dataserver(key query_id, string data) {        if (query_id == gQueryID) {            if (data != EOF) {    // not at the end of the notecard                llSay(0, (string)gLine+": "+data);    // output the line                ++gLine;                // increase line count                gQueryID = llGetNotecardLine(gName, gLine);    // request next line            }        }    }}

See my comments and changes below

string gName;    // name of a notecard in the object's inventoryinteger gLine = 0;list cards = [];//key rQueryID;key query_id;integer counter;string notecard; string said;key gQueryID; // id used to identify dataserver queriesdefault {    state_entry() {        llListen(999,"","",""); //Darkie: if you say something in the chat, you can't use a negative channel        gName = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_NOTECARD, 0); // select the first notecard in the object's inventory        gQueryID = llGetNotecardLine(gName, gLine);    // request first line    }    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)    {        if(llGetInventoryType(message)==INVENTORY_NOTECARD){            gLine = 0;//Darkie: use gLine here again            notecard = message;            gQueryID = llGetNotecardLine(notecard,gLine);//Darkie: use gLine here again; you need the variable gQueryID            //said = llGetNotecardLine(llKey2Name(notecard),gLine); //Darkie: this doesn't really make sense; what do you want to get here?            //llShout(0,said);        }    }    dataserver(key query_id, string data) {        if (query_id == gQueryID) {            if (data != EOF) {    // not at the end of the notecard                llSay(0, (string)gLine+": "+data);    // output the line                ++gLine;                // increase line count                gQueryID = llGetNotecardLine(gName, gLine);    // request next line            }        }    }}

No.  The key returned by llGetNoteCardLine identifies the dataserver response.   So, in the dataserver event you do something like:

dataserver(key requested, string data){	if(requested == query){//make sure it's what we requested		if(data!=EOF){//if it's not come to the end of the card			data = llStringTrim(data,STRING_TRIM);//trim leading and trailing spaces			if(data!=""){// if there's anything left -- i.e. it's not an empty line				llOwnerSay(data);//process it some way			}			counter++;//advance the counter			query = llGetNotecardLine(notecard,counter);//fetch the next line		}		else{			llOwnerSay("Reached the end of the card");		}	}}

I'd also suggest removing the global variable, query_id.  It's only going to cause confusion with the locally scoped query_id parameter of the dataserver event handler.

okay so 1st darkie that worked as far as reading one line  how do i make it read a hole card  ive seen stuff like  

for(i =0; i < llGetNumberOfNotecardLines(gName);   but not sure how to adaped it to what in doing

 

[Darkie Minotaur]

I missed that line:

notecard = message;

 In the listen event should be

gName = message;

 

[2toe Bigboots]

Could not find notecard     when i make that change. if i leave it it llsay the 1st line only.

Forgot gName once again

string gName;    // name of a notecard in the object's inventoryinteger gLine = 0;list cards = [];//key rQueryID;//key query_id; //Darkie: as has been saidinteger counter;string notecard; string said;key gQueryID; // id used to identify dataserver queriesdefault {    state_entry() {        llListen(999,"","",""); //Darkie: if you say something in the chat, you can't use a negative channel        gName = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_NOTECARD, 0); // select the first notecard in the object's inventory        gQueryID = llGetNotecardLine(gName, gLine);    // request first line    }    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)    {        if(llGetInventoryType(message)==INVENTORY_NOTECARD){            gLine = 0;//Darkie: use gLine here again            gName = message; //Darkie: put gName here            gQueryID = llGetNotecardLine(gName,gLine);//Darkie: use gLine here again; you need the variable gQueryID; use gName here            //said = llGetNotecardLine(llKey2Name(notecard),gLine); //Darkie: this doesn't really make sense; what do you want to get here?            //llShout(0,said);        }    }    dataserver(key query_id, string data) {        if (query_id == gQueryID) {            if (data != EOF) {    // not at the end of the notecard                llSay(0, (string)gLine+": "+data);    // output the line                ++gLine;                // increase line count                gQueryID = llGetNotecardLine(gName, gLine);    // request next line            }        }    }}

Read up on the dataserver event and llGetNotecardLine
