llRegionSayTo

Summary

Function: llRegionSayTo( key target, integer channel, string msg );

363	Function ID
0.0	Forced Delay
10.0	Energy

Says the text supplied in string msg on channel supplied in integer channel to the object or avatar specified by target

• key	target	–	group, avatar or prim UUID that is in the same region
• integer	channel
• string	msg

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

<lsl> 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!");
   }

}

</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>

   llRegionSayTo("55499a64-45c3-4b81-8880-8ffb5a7c251b", -5243212, "turn on");

</lsl> 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).
