llWhisper

function

Function syntax

llWhisper(

integer channel,// Chat channel (any 32-bit signed integer value) to whisper the message on. Values: Channel
string msg// Text message string to broadcast.

);

Energy: 10

Broadcasts 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.

Whispers the text supplied in string msg on channel supplied in integer channel.

llWhisper(0, "");

Caveats

Text can be a maximum of 1024 bytes. This can convey 1024 ASCII characters, or 512 UTF-8 characters such as á
Whispers can only be heard within 10 meters of the speaking prim (rather than the root). This is contrary to how listens work, where a message can only be heard by any prim in the object if and only if the root prim is capable of hearing it.
A prim can not hear itself, this to prevent problems with recursion. It can however hear other prims within the same object. Use llMessageLinked instead for intra-prim messaging.

Examples

If you prefer, you can make use of certain mnemonic constants such as PUBLIC_CHANNEL instead of channel 0 and DEBUG_CHANNEL instead of channel +2,147,483,647.

    state_entry()
    {
        llWhisper(0, "This is an incredibly useless program.");
    }
}

For communicating with the user or owner it is preferable to use llOwnerSay or llInstantMessage or llRegionSayTo as they won’t spam other users.
