Second Life Physics Scripting - Pinball #26 - The First Player

I put in some logging to see if anyone was playing the actual game. I had my first player (Grimley Graves) and asked him if the game was actually working. He owns a haunted house down the street which is how he found the game. Sure enough, the game didn't work at all. He offered to help me test it and I found the problem.

The problem was in the keyboard code from post #12. This is what I had.

          llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(), PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS);

It turns out that the first parameter is the person who's keys you want to take over. Sure enough since I'm the owner and was neaby when he touched the table, I received the dialog asking if I wanted to play. Oops.

This is the correct code.

          llRequestPermissions(llDetectedKey(0), PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS); 

The llDetectedKey(0) is the key for the first avatar that touched the table. Once I made this change everything worked great. I went back and changed post #12 to reflect this difference so someone doesn't have this same problem later.
