Examples

<lsl>default {

   state_entry()
   {
       llMinEventDelay(5.0);
   }
   touch(integer detected)
   {
       llSay(0, "Touched.");//Without the event delay set touch would cause the screen to fill 
                            //with the word "Touched" in a split second if you held the mouse button down.
   }

}</lsl>

Where as, if in one object you place this script (for the sake of fun call the object "Sandy Powell"). -

<lsl>default {

   touch(integer detected)
   {
       llSay(0, "Can you hear me mother?");//Northern English accent. Catch phase of Sandy Powell (comedian).
   }

}</lsl>

and this in another object called "Mother" -

<lsl>default {

   state_entry()
   {
       llMinEventDelay(5.0);
       llListen(0, "Sandy Powell", "", "");
   }
   listen(integer chan, string name, key id, string msg)
   {
       llSay(0, "Eh?");
   }

}</lsl>

the result in chat is as follows -

<lsl> [12:51] Sandy Powell: Can you hear me mother? [12:51] Mother: Eh? [12:51] Sandy Powell: Can you hear me mother? [12:51] Sandy Powell: Can you hear me mother?

[12:52] Mother: Eh? </lsl>

and no more events are triggered. This is an example of lost transferred info because of llMinEventDelay so be careful with it.
