(The third level caveat doesn't make sense without the second level caveat that was deleted. Should have block of text devoted to supported string formats under spec, will work on later.)

Summary

Function: float llList2Float( list src, integer index );
0.0 Forced Delay
10.0 Energy

Returns a float that is at index in src.

• list src List containing the element of interest.
• integer index Index of the element of interest.

index supports negative indexes.
If index describes a location not in src then zero is returned.
If the type of the element at index in src is not a float it is typecast to a float. If it cannot be typecast zero is returned.

KBcaution.png Important: Please read this intro of how to iterate over a list in LSL.

Specification

Index Positive Negative
First 0 -length
Last length - 1 -1

Indexes

  • Positive indexes count from the beginning, the first item being indexed as 0, the last as (length - 1).
  • Negative indexes count from the far end, the first item being indexed as -length, the last as -1.

Caveats

  • If index is out of bounds the script continues to execute without an error message.
  • A string of hexadecimal notation (e.g. "0x12A") or scientific notation (e.g. "6.2e+1") will be parsed as float and contain the correct value[1].
