| • integer | channel | |||

| Channel Constant | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| DEBUG_CHANNEL | 0x7FFFFFFF | Chat channel reserved for script debugging and error messages, broadcasts to all nearby users. |

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.
- A prim can not hear itself, to prevent problems with recursion.
Examples
<lsl>default {
state_entry()
{
llSay(0,"This is an incredibly useless program." );
}
}</lsl>
To avoid making your object spam its neighborhood, use llOwnerSay or llInstantMessage.Notes
Consider using llOwnerSay or channel DEBUG_CHANNEL for debugging purposes.
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 (if never more negative than the most negative 32-bit integer that is -2,147,483,648), 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.)
If DEBUG_CHANNEL is used as channel, the script will say msg to the Script Warning/Error window.
If 0 is used as channel, the script will say msg so anyone can see it as normal chat. All other integers used are private channels.
