247	Function ID
1.0	Forced Delay
10.0	Energy

Shows a dialog box on the avatar screen with message and buttons.

• key	avatar
• string	message
• list	buttons
• integer	chat_channel

When a button is pressed, the avatar chats the button text on chat_channel.

Button Order 9   10 11 6 7 8   3 4 5 0 1 2

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.
  • It is important to expect that the response may not be one of the buttons.

message limits

• If it exceeds 8 lines a scroll bar will appear.
• message must be less than 512 bytes and not empty. Otherwise 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 than 12 buttons can be requested and they must all be strings. Otherwise it will shout an error on DEBUG_CHANNEL.
• Button text cannot be longer than 24 bytes per button. Otherwise it will shout an error on DEBUG_CHANNEL.
