llParcelSay

	LSL Feature Request
	The described function does not exist. This article is a feature request.

Summary

Function: llParcelSay( integer channel, string msg );

0.0	Forced Delay
10.0	Energy

Says the string msg on channel number channel that can be heard anywhere in the parcel by an agent (when on the PUBLIC_CHANNEL) or by a script listening on channel.

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

Regardless of where the prim is, the message will not travel over parcel borders.

See: SVC-1224

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.
• If msg is longer than 1023 bytes it is truncated to 1023 bytes.
• A prim can not hear itself, to prevent problems with recursion.

Examples

<lsl>default {

   state_entry()
   {
       llParcelSay(0, "Abandon ship! This is not a drill!" );
   }

}</lsl>

Notes

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, e.g., <lsl> llParcelSay(-654321, "light on");</lsl> 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).

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