email

Description

Event: email( string time, string address, string subj, string message, integer num_left ){ ; }

21	Event ID
	Delay

Triggered when task receives email

• string	time
• string	address
• string	subj
• string	message
• integer	num_left

Caveats

• time is in the (string)llGetUnixTime format.
• The email queue is limited to 100 emails, any email after that is bounced.
• Due to bug SVC-23 (present since 2005), objects may stop receiving emails completely until either the region is restarted or the object crosses a region boundary (resetting the script doesn't help). Emails sent may eventually be received after a restart/region-cross. Hence, don't rely on this event for reliable inter-region messaging.

Examples

This application uses email to have objects check with a central server to see if the owner has the latest version. In the objects: <lsl> string version = "1"; // string type = "lolcube"; default {

   on_rez(integer start_param)
   {
       llEmail("5a634b27-f032-283f-2df2-55ead7724b23@lsl.secondlife.com",
           version,
           (string)llGetOwner()+","+type);
   }

}</lsl> The server: <lsl> default {

   state_entry()
   {
       llSetTimerEvent(15);
   }
   
   timer()
   {
       llGetNextEmail("","");
   }
   
   email( string time, string address, string version, string message, integer num_left )
   {    
       if ((integer)version < 2)
       {
           list info = llCSV2List(llDeleteSubString(message, 0, llSubStringIndex(message, "\n\n") + 1));
           llGiveInventory(llList2Key(info,0),llList2String(info,1));
       }
       
       integer i;
       for (i = 0; i < num_left; i++)
       {
           llGetNextEmail("","");
       }
   }

} </lsl>
