Function: llOwnerSay( string msg );
0.0 Forced Delay
10.0 Energy

Says msg to the owner only.

• string msg message to be transmitted

Caveats

  • If msg is longer than 1024 bytes, it will be truncated to 1024 bytes. This can convey 1024 ASCII characters, or less if non-ASCII are present.
  • Silently fails ~45 seconds after the owner leaves the region the object is in.
  • Silently fails when the object to which the script is attached is deeded to a group.
  • Some viewers do not display llOwnerSay text when msg is empty ("").

Examples

<lsl> default {

   touch_start(integer num_detected)
   {
       llOwnerSay("Ouch!");
   }

}

</lsl>

Useful Snippets

<lsl> // llOwnerSay extension for preventing silent failures // paste this code at the top of the script and replace // any calls to llOwnerSay with uOwnerSayPlus

uOwnerSayPlus(string inputString) {

   key owner = llGetOwner();
   // single owner that the region still has a handle for
   if (llKey2Name(owner))
       llOwnerSay(inputString);
   // group owned, must send the message publicly
   else if (llList2Key(llGetObjectDetails(llGetKey(), [OBJECT_GROUP]), 0) == owner)
       llWhisper(0, "/me : " + inputString);
   // single owner, not present, send them an IM
   else
       llInstantMessage(owner, inputString);

} </lsl>
