Image:Emblem-important-red.png Pre-release Documentation Warning

This function only appears in specific branches of the SL client source code. LL has not released a viewer based on one of these branches. LL may make changes to this function prior to release, so this documentation may not reflect the final product, it may not even accurately represent LL's current implementation.

Description

Function: llTextBox( key avatar, string message, integer chat_channel );
335 Function ID
1.0 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 chat_channel when the "OK" button is clicked.

• key avatar – avatar UUID
• string message – message to be displayed in the text box
• integer chat_channel – output channel, any integer value
Channel Constant Description
DEBUG_CHANNEL 0x7FFFFFFF Chat channel reserved for debug and error messages from scripts.
PUBLIC_CHANNEL 0x0 Chat channel that broadcasts to all nearby users.

Caveats

  • This function causes the script to sleep for 1.0 seconds.
  • There is no way by script to kill a text 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.

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.

Examples

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);
    }
}
