LlSay

Says the text supplied in string msg on channel supplied in integer channel.

• Text can only be a maximum of 1024 bytes.
• Text spoken can only be heard within 20 meters of the speaking prim (rather than the root). This is contrary to how listens work, where a message can only be heard by any prim in the object if and only if the root prim is capable of hearing it.
• A prim can not hear itself, to prevent problems with recursion.

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSay(0,"This is an incredibly useless program." );
    }
}

To avoid making your object spam its neighborhood, use llOwnerSay or llInstantMessage.

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.,

 
    llSay(-5243212,"turn on");
 

Negative channels are popular for script communications because the client is unable to chat directly on those channels ("/-xxxx message" won't chat "message" on channel "-xxxx", it will chat "/-xxxx message" on channel zero). The only way to do so prior to llTextBox was to use llDialog which was limited to 24 bytes.

If DEBUG_CHANNEL is used as channel, the script will say msg to the Script Warning/Error window.

Channel 0 is PUBLIC_CHANNEL. Everyone can hear chat transmitted on this channel. All other channels are private channels (not sent to users).
