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 ("").
- Produces swirly particle effects for the owner (who sees the message) but these effects do not appear to be visible to other avatars (who don't).
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>
