llRegionSay

Summary

Function: llRegionSay( integer channel, string msg );

331	Function ID
0.0	Forced Delay
10.0	Energy

Says the string msg on channel number channel that can be heard anywhere in the region by a script listening on channel.

• integer	channel	–	Any integer value other than zero.
• string	msg	–	Message to be transmitted.

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

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

• This function cannot transmit on the public channel, this is a design feature and not a bug.
• 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()
   {
       llRegionSay(25,"This is an incredibly useless program." );
   }

}</lsl>

To avoid making your object spam its neighborhood, use llOwnerSay or llInstantMessage.

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> llRegionSay(-5243212,"turn on");</lsl> It is impossible for an avatar to chat on a negative channel, and extremely unlikely that some other object would accidentally say something on such a channel. (Of course, the intended target of the message must be set to 'listen' on this channel.)

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

• As of 1.18.3, using llRegionSay on the DEBUG_CHANNEL will wrap around and display on channel 0, with a range of 100m.
