[Is there a way to detect the last stated message within the public channel (0) ?]

A script can register a listen-event on (one or more) chat channels with llListen.

If you want the script to only trigger the listen event on exactly the message "awesome, thanks!" you can register a listener like so:

llListen(PUBLIC_CHANNEL, "", "", "awesome, thanks!");

The above code will make the script

• listen to anyone (no name or key constraint)
• on the public chat channel (0)
• saying the message "awesome, thanks!"
  • It will not accept "awesome thanks"
  • It will not accept "Awesome, thanks!"
  • It won't even accept "That's awesome, thanks!"
  • The message must match exactly.

Instead, what you probably want is:

llListen(PUBLIC_CHANNEL, "", "", "");

Now, the above code will make the script

• listen to anyone
• on the public channel
• saying any message

So, a listen event will trigger for every message. But that's okay. You can then start parsing the chat message to see if your wanted message is in there. For example:

listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
{
    // channel: WHERE the message was heard
    // name:    the avatar or object's NAME
    // id:      the avatar or object's KEY (uuid)
    // message: the actual TEXT content

    // Make all the text lowercase, so the input-case no longer matters.
    message = llToLower(message);

    // Search for an exact "awesome, thanks" from the message.
    // The index will be -1 if it wasn't found anywhere.
    integer index = llSubStringIndex(message, "awesome, thanks");

    if (index != -1)
    {
        llOwnerSay(name + " said it!");
    }
}

You can complicate it further by searching for the words "awesome" and "thanks" separately, and even making sure that the word "awesome" comes before "thanks." Make sure to read the wiki often. It really is your friend, even though some pages can be a bit much to take in.

P.S. You can of course write 0 instead of PUBLIC_CHANNEL. I used that constant just for clarity.

what if I want to detect a message coming from the same object or is this possible

[Is there a way to detect the last stated message within the public channel (0) ?]

For example, if the public chat has a last recorded message saying "hello world" could a script detect this somehow to be used in scripting?

A more clear example.. if the chat is like this:

1: hey how are you

2: im great wbu?

3: awesome, thanks!

(event in script will then trigger)

I want to make a script that will constantly detect the last stated message on the public channel until it hits the correct string that will trigger an event in the script. For the sake of the example, lets assume the string its parsing for in each last stated message is "awesome, thanks!". Once the last stated message is "awesome, thanks!" an event will trigger within the script...

Is this actually possible? thanks

Thanks guys!

[Is there a way to generate a random number within a range of negative to positive integers?]

Thanks!

[Is there a way to generate a random number within a range of negative to positive integers?]

for example, i want to generate a random float between -2 and 2. it could be -1.7634 or 1.2341 after generation for example as long as its random. I can only seem to find documentation online that allows for positive range random float outputs...

[Can't seem to use else or else if statements in script]

I can use if statements but for some reason i cant use else if or else statements at all in my scripts. I've tried so many different ways to solve this. here is my sample code.

 if (message == "Add 1 to green" && count == 0)
            green_count += 1;
            count += 1;
            llSetText("Green: " +(string)green_count,<1.0,1.0,1.0>,1.0);
 else
            count -= 1;

 

I'm constantly getting an error on the else command line.
