We've been asking for this for a long, long, long time now.
So its time to ask again.
Command: llMessageObject(key id, integer num, string str, key id);
Triggered Event: object_message(key sender, integer num, string str, key id)
Sends a message from object to object across the grid, as a combination of llInstantMessage fused with llMessageLinked.
Instant delivery grid-scale, triggers an event on message receive.
Linden Lab have been excited about all the developers who have been developing wide sim-scale games in SecondLife. Unfortunatly, the tools we have for object-to-object communications are lacking: Listeners are badly designed for data comm and are lag-producing due to their server-side mechanism. E-Mail is a partial solution but does not trigger a received email event on its own, forcing us to run timers that constantly poll for email. That, and email is not the most reliable system, either. XML-RPC seems good - but only for one direction. We can trigger XML-RPC comm, but its complicated and requires some E-Mail tempering.
If we cant do object-to-object XML-RPC,then atleast give us some other better alternative to using email. A command such as this can only do us good.
Alot of good.
If you want to see games in SecondLife - give us the tools. We'll provide the rest.

I will only support this if one of paramaters passed is a list. There is no reason we have to constantly have to convert data back and forth between lists and strings.

How strange - are these reposts or is something strange going on?  At any rate - I'm with Strife on this - love the concept, needs to pass a list  Please, Linden deieties, hear our plea! |

Supported eith another condition
Group Objects are allowed to use this function. At present, Group Owned/Deeded objects are unable to use llInstantMessage based on the fact they are group owned. This is intensely annoying, if you are trying to get data back from a sensor array for example.
You could put llMessageObject() into the grid arrays, to message back to a core object for further processing.

That... or the ability to pass an entire script with buffer intact. We don't need no steenkin' list when we have a full script buffer.

Hell at this point i'll even settle to just sending strings. I just had enough of having to mess with listens/email/xmlrpc when direct object-to-object messaging is such an obvious thing to ask for. >.<
