<p><b>New page</b></p><div>This '''genChan()''' function returns a large negative number based on a ''key'', a ''modifier'', and a ''pin''. <br />
<br />
The number is within bounds for object-to-object chat channels, but out of range of the channel scanners currently on the market.<br />
<br />
If the key, modifier and pin are the same, the channel will be uniform regardless of the script.<br />
<br />
This isn't randomness, and it's not encryption, but it's simple and quick, and good enough to make reverse engineering of the system communications in real time super duper impractical.<br />
<br />
<lsl>integer secret_channel;<br />
<br />
// Where k is the owner's key, mod is either 2 or 3, and pin is a number between 1 & 500,000<br />
<br />
integer genChannel(key k , integer mod, integer pin) <br />
{ <br />
float a = (float)("0x"+llGetSubString( (string)k, mod,-1)); <br />
integer b = llRound( llFabs(a) - a*2 + pin ); <br />
return b;<br />
} </lsl><br />
<br />
<br />
You can define the channel in state_entry() thus:<br />
<br />
<lsl>secret_channel = genChan(llGetOwner() , 2 , 12345); </lsl><br />
<br />
As long as the pin is secret your cooms will be too.</div>Clarknova Helvetic
