llTextBox

Summary

Function: llTextBox( key avatar, string message, integer channel );

335	Function ID
1.0	Forced Delay
10.0	Energy

Shows a dialog box on avatar's screen with the text message. It contains a text box for input, any text that is entered is said on channel when the "OK" button is clicked.

• key	avatar	–	avatar UUID that is in the same region
• string	message	–	Text to display in the message box
• integer	channel	–	output chat channel, any integer value

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.
• Messages sent on channel zero^[1] and DEBUG_CHANNEL are throttled to a rate of <200/10sec, per region, per owner/user.
  • Once the rate is exceeded, all following messages on channel zero or DEBUG_CHANNEL will be dropped until the send rate is again below 200/10sec for the previous 10 sec. Dropped messages, despite being dropped still count against the limit.
• 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).
• If the listening prim is out of the 20 meter range of the sending prim when the "OK" button is pressed, it will not be able to hear the response.
  • This limitation affects attachments too if the wearer moves more than 20 meters from where the listener is located.

Examples

<lsl>integer listener;

default {

   touch_start(integer total_number)
   {
       llListenRemove(listener);//A previous user may not have responded. Make sure we don't leak!
       integer channel = ~(integer)llFrand(1000.0);
       listener = llListen(channel,"","","");
       llTextBox(llDetectedKey(0),"Write something here...",channel);
   }
   
   listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
   {
       llSay(0,"You wrote: " + message);
       llListenRemove(listener);
   }
