LlMinEventDelay

Wiki description

Set the minimum time between events being handled.

Defaults and minimums vary by the event type, see LSL Delay.

Caveats

Minimum delay is maintained between state changes.

Examples

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.
    }
}

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

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

and this in another object called "Mother" -

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

the result in chat is as follows -

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