llDialog expansion - requestor?

Anyone who programmed the Amiga way back when will be familiar with the requestor library and know exactly what I'm talking about.

In a nutshell - a text box to type in some info that is then sent with the button selected.
I think that being able to send some text would be hugely useful.

I've seen some items out there that would make a unix head cringe..

Think about it /100 blah blah, +1 blah

or

Touch item type 'blah blah' hit button. Done.


Apart from the option for more buttons (which I've already touched on before) I think it would be a huge step forward for making scripted items more user friendly.

Siggy.

So you want...

llDialogInput( string prompt, string default, integer chan )

touch_start( integer num )
{
    llDialogInput( "What is the password?", "dunno", 12345 );
}

listen( integer chan, string name, key id, string msg )
{
    if ( chan == 12345 )
        llShout( 0, "Hey everyone! "+name+"'s password is "+msg+"!!!" );
}

Where touching the object pops up a dialog box with the prompt and a place to type in some text, with "dunno" in it to start, in this example.




Me too.

A+++

Yeah Tiger, pretty much that

Siggy.
