Channel Constant Description
DEBUG_CHANNEL 0x7FFFFFFF Chat channel reserved for script debugging and error messages, broadcasts to all nearby users.
PUBLIC_CHANNEL 0x0 Chat channel that broadcasts to all nearby users. This channel is sometimes referred to as: open chat, local chat and public chat.

Caveats

  • This function causes the script to sleep for 1.0 seconds.
  • There is no way by script to kill a dialog box.
  • There is no way for the script to detect if the user clicked the small "ignore" button (no chat is generated as a result of pressing this button).
  • There is no way to distinguish the input from a dialog box and regular chat made by the same user.

message limits

  • If it exceeds 8 lines a scroll bar will appear.
  • message must be less than 512 bytes and not empty. Other wise it will shout an error on DEBUG_CHANNEL.

buttons limits

  • If buttons is an empty list, it will default to as if it were ["OK"].
  • No more then 12 buttons can be requested and they must all be strings. Other wise it will shout an error on DEBUG_CHANNEL.
  • Button text cannot be longer then 24 bytes per button. Other wise it will shout an error on DEBUG_CHANNEL.
