llWhisper

Summary

Function: llWhisper( integer channel, string msg );

0.0	Forced Delay
10.0	Energy

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

• integer	channel	–	output chat channel, any integer value
• string	msg	–	message to be transmitted

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

• 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.
• Text can be a maximum of 1024 bytes. This can convey 1024 ASCII characters, or 512 UTF-8 characters such as á
• Whispers can only be heard within 10 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, this to prevent problems with recursion. It can however hear other prims within the same object.

Examples

<lsl> default {

   state_entry()
   {
       // PUBLIC_CHANNEL has the integer value 0
       llWhisper(PUBLIC_CHANNEL, "This is an incredibly useless program.");
   }

} </lsl>

For communicating with the user or owner it is preferable to use llOwnerSay or llInstantMessage or llRegionSayTo as they won't spam other users.
