[Writing a Bus Announcement Script]

Okay. So stepping back from the StaNav HUD project madness. I am pivotting over to the bus announcement script that I had started a while couple weeks ago. This is meant to be a prim worn by an avatar that will provide ADA and other service related announcements. I am trying to make it easier for users to quickly reconfigure their announcement when swapping to a new route. It's features include/should include.

 

• Posting messages at certain times (Need Improvement - I'd rather have it select a random message from a list each run but right each message is based on a certain static time or interval with in a 5 minute window.)
• Reading Config From Notecard (WIP - Trying to get this working but the rest of the scipt is functionally broken

Current Issue: For some reason after introducing the notecard reading functionality it doesn't even signal to the user that it was attached or anything is loaded. I can't even start the timer using the "/9 enableann" trigger.

The only i/o I get from it is when the config notecard doesn't exist.

Here is the script:

 

integer count;
integer ON;
key gSetupQueryId;
integer gSetupNotecardLine;
string  gSetupNotecardName = "Config";
 
//define config variables here
string ServiceRoute;
string ServiceNumer;
string DriverID;

readSettingsNotecard()
{
   gSetupNotecardLine = 0;
   gSetupQueryId = llGetNotecardLine(gSetupNotecardName,gSetupNotecardLine); 
}

default
{

    attach(key id)
    {
        if (id)     // is a valid key and not NULL_KEY
        {
            llOwnerSay("ARTA Bus Announcements v. 0.1 Loaded! Use \"/9 enableann\" to enable the messages.");
        }
        else
        {
            llOwnerSay("ARTA Bus Announcements v. 0.1 Unloaded! Have a great day!");
        }
    }
    
    state_entry()
    {

        // Check the notecard exists, and has been saved
        if (llGetInventoryKey(gSetupNotecardName) == NULL_KEY)
        {
            llOwnerSay( "Notecard '" + gSetupNotecardName + "' missing or unwritten");
            return;
        }        
        // listen on channel nine (9) for any chat spoken by the object owner.
        llListen(9,"",llGetOwner(),"");
        readSettingsNotecard();
    }

    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
    {
        if (llToLower(message) == "enableann")
        {
            llOwnerSay("ADA announcements successfully Reset. Use \"/9 enableann\". to renable announcements.");
            llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
        }
        if (llToLower(message) == "enableann")
        {
            llOwnerSay("ARTA Bus Announcements successfully enabled. Use \"/6 disableann\". to disable announcements.");
            llSetTimerEvent(1.0* (ON = !ON)); //Turns timer ON and OFF
        }
    }

    dataserver(key queryId, string data)
    {
        if(queryId == gSetupQueryId) 
        {
            if(data != EOF)
            {
                list tmp = llParseString2List(data, ["="], []);
                string setting = llList2String(tmp,0);
 
                if (setting == "ServiceRoute")
                {
                    ServiceRoute=llList2String(tmp,1);
                }
                //add more if statements here, for each config variable
                //you can also do stuff like variable=val1,val2,val3, simply
                //do llCSV2List(llList2String(tmp,1));
 
                gSetupQueryId = llGetNotecardLine(gSetupNotecardName,++gSetupNotecardLine); 
            }
            else
            {
                state running;   
            }
        }
    }           
    changed(integer change)
    {
        if (change&CHANGED_INVENTORY)
            llResetScript();
    }

    timer()
    {
        ++count;
        if(count%30 == 0)
        {
            llSay(0,"Route 57 service to "+ServiceRoute);
        }
        if(count == 60)
        {
            //Say this message at the one (1) minute mark
            llSay(0,"Please make priority seating available to passengers with disabiltites and seniors.");
        }
        if(count == 120)
        {
            //Say this message at the two (2) minute
            llSay(0,"Driven by operator 15484");
        }
        if(count == 240)
        {
            //Say this message at the four (4) minute mark
            llSay(0, "Please be curterous. Riders and strollers must share space aboard the bus.");
        }
        if(count == 300)
        {
            //Reset script time and restart messages from first message
            llGetAndResetTime();
            llSetTimerEvent(1.0* (ON = !ON)); //Turns timer ON and OFF
            llOwnerSay("Meeasge Timer Reset.");

        }
    }
}

state running
{

    changed(integer change)
    {
        if (change&CHANGED_INVENTORY)
            llResetScript();
    }
}

Any ideas? Thnak you in advance for any help rendered.

[Making a Map HUD]

I forgot to mention that I am relativly new to LSL scripting. I have managed to write a script that whille loop through messages on a set timer.

I am flying blind here so I aplogize for my ineptitude.

So the bottom layer would be the map.

Layers in between would be the differnt routes (??) [ideally these should be filterable so the drivers can focus on their assigned route]

The top layer would be the yellow dot marking the driver's current position (??)

[Making a Map HUD]

I am the Directory of Transportation for the Town of Avon. I am trying to make a HUD for my drivers so they can see where they are and their route. How do I make a map HUD that traces out the route.

I can find plenty of scripts to achieve the first part but can't seem to figure out the second part.

Thank you in advance for any help.
