Used by

  • llListenfunctionCreates a listener on channel from name and id for msg. Returns an integer listener handle used to control or remove the listener. Empty strings or NULL_KEY filters do not filter on those parameters.
  • llSayfunctionBroadcasts the message msg to all scripts or agents listening on channel within llGetEnv("chat_range"), which is 20m on most regions. Agents listen on PUBLIC_CHANNEL (0) and DEBUG_CHANNEL (2147483647). All other channels are for script-to-script communication.
  • llShoutfunctionBroadcasts the message msg to all scripts or agents listening on channel within llGetEnv("shout_range"), which is 100m on most regions. Agents listen on PUBLIC_CHANNEL (0) and DEBUG_CHANNEL (2147483647). All other channels are for script-to-script communication.
  • llTextBoxfunctionOpens an input text box dialog displaying msg to the agent. Submitting text chats the input string on channel as if said by the agent. The chat originates at the object's position, but uses the agent's name and UUID, so it can be heard as long as the agent is still in the region.
  • llWhisperfunctionBroadcasts the message msg to all scripts or agents listening on channel within llGetEnv("whisper_range"), which is 10m on most regions. Agents listen on PUBLIC_CHANNEL (0) and DEBUG_CHANNEL (2147483647). All other channels are for script-to-script communication.
