Hello, world. Please critique my frist attempt to scripting in Secod Life.

list payPrice = [10,20,30,40]; // <--- PLEASE CHANGE THIS VALUES TO SET PAY PRICE.

// DIALOG - UNDER DEVELOPMENT

You do not need an allways open llListen() for what you're doing.
Better would be to open the llListen() just before llDialog() and close that llListen() again in the listen event..

And add a llSetTimerEvent() to close the llListen() when the user ignores or forgets the dialog.
Remember to stop the timer in the listen or timer event. Which ever comes first.

integer ListenHandle;default{    touch_start(integer x)    {        llSetTimerEvent(30.0);        ListenHandle = llListen(CHANNEL, "", llGetOwner(), ""); // DIALOG APPEARS ONLY WHEN OWNER TOUCH OBJECT        llDialog(llDetectedKey(0), "What do you want, owner?", MENU_MAIN, CHANNEL);    }        timer()    {        llSetTimerEvent(0.0);        llListenRemove( ListenHandle );    }                listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)    {        llSetTimerEvent(0.0);        llListenRemove( ListenHandle );        if (llListFindList(MENU_MAIN + MENU_OPTIONS + MENU_ABOUT, [message]) != -1)etc.

Something like that.

Also.
People say it's better to use a large negative integer as a channelnumber.

"People say it's better to use a large negative integer as a channelnumber." it makes no difference, it just agreed that human chat in the positive channel, negative for script channels. BTW the script needs to be able to get back to the start else it will stop at the end if you close the listen handle. Typo

It's a good idea to get in the habit of using a large negative number as a chat channel for converations between objects to reduce the possibility of crosstalk with other objects that might be using the same channel (and the possibility of unauthorized listening, although there are better ways of doing that, if that's your concern).

Sorry you lost me there, i was just saying that we keep script chat to negative and human to positive as a unofficial rule. I very much doubt if some used channel 12345678902334 it would affect anything. Problem is in the 1 to 100 as people would tend to use them.  So in short get into the habit of the unofficial rule.

ADDED, guess i wrot the first a bit ambiguose.

There's no way to know.  The full range of possible values is between  −2,147,483,648 and +2,147,483,647, so there's a lot to choose from.  The only advantage to using negative numbers rather than positive ones is that you can be sure that avatars will not be listening on negative channels.  That's an interesting but not compelling reason for avoiding the positive ones, especially if you use very large, random numbers.  As I said earlier, the best reason for using large numbers (positive or negative) is that it's unlikely that you will be using a channel that is already being used by some other object.  That means it's unlikely that your object will interfere with another one or be overheard by it.  You can also take extra security measures, of course, but the large random channel number is an easy first step.
