Caveats
Text can only be a maximum of 1024 bytes. Phrases spoken with llSay can only be heard within 20 meters of the speaking object. An object can not hear itself, to prevent problems with recursion.
Examples
<lsl> default {
state_entry() { llSay(0,"This is an incredibly useless program." ); }
}
</lsl>Notes
If one object 'says' something to another object (e.g., a button that, when touched, turns on a lamp), it is a good idea to use a very negative channel, e.g., <lsl>
llSay(-5243212,"turn on");
</lsl> It is impossible for an avatar to chat on a negative channel, and extremely unlikely that some other object would accidently say something on such a channel. (Of course, the intended target of the message must be set to 'listen' on this channel.)
