I have a simple Hud object that I would like to message another object that is worn on an Avatar. When I use llSay(1, message); the worn object doesn't seem to hear it.
The worn object is listening on channel 1 and I know the hud is executing the llSay.
What am I doing wrong?

Is the worn object listening only for owner?

Is it possible the listening device is set to listen only to the owner [listen(1, "", llGetOwner(), ""  ]?

could you post example scripts? there isn't anything wrong with what you have described so far.

Ack! The scripts are listening for owner only. Shoot.
Thank you for the replies. I can't believe I was so stupid.
Now the question I have is how does the Huddles Chat HUD thing work then? It can record and play back commands on any channel and send them as Owner because I can use it to work with the embedded scripts.

Well you could ask the creator  The HUDDLES Chat Macro uses llDialog to "play macros". When you click on a button from a dialog, your avatar/agent actually says chat rather than an object/script saying the chat. If anyone wants a free Chat Macro, stop by my shop in No.

llDialog is limited in the length of chat it can say (i believe 24 characters).

From: Lallander Parvenu Is the worn object listening only for owner? Now, let me ask one thing, if you change the listener from llGetOwner() to NULL_KEY, won't it listen to nearby huds too? I dont want to get remote controlled by other ppl, changing channels for each copy of the hud doesnt seem reasonable neither the KEY ID |

I dont want to get remote controlled by other ppl, changing channels for each copy of the hud doesnt seem reasonable neither the KEY ID Check to see if the "speaker" is owned by the same owner to prevet remote control. llListen(integer chan, string name, key id, string msg)
{
if ( llGetOwnerKey(id) == llGetOwner() )
{
//Do something
}
