Caveats
- Text is spoken directly to the object or avatar within the same region as the script.
- Scripts in tasks other than target can not listen for and receive these text messages, with an exception for attachments as described below.
- Text can be a maximum of 1024 bytes. This can convey 1024 ASCII-7 characters, or 512 UTF-8 characters such as á
- A prim cannot hear itself, to prevent problems with recursion.
- Sending text on DEBUG_CHANNEL is not supported
- Text sent to an avatar's ID on channel zero will be sent to the receiver's viewer.
- Text sent to an avatar's ID on non-zero channels can be heard by any attachment on the avatar
- A quick series of messages sent by llRegionSayTo cannot be relied on to arrive at their destination in the same order as sent.
Examples
default
{
touch_start(integer num_detected)
{
key id = llDetectedKey(0);
// send a message to the chat window of the avatar touching
llRegionSayTo(id, 0, "You touched this!");
// send a message to the attachments of the avatar touching
// example channel: -12345
llRegionSayTo(id, -12345, "Hello there attachments!");
}
}
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.,
llRegionSayTo("55499a64-45c3-4b81-8880-8ffb5a7c251b", -5243212, "turn on");
Negative channels are popular for script communications because the standard Second Life 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).
