Maybe this comment from the WiKi will help! From: WiKi Q: I don't get it. Why not just use chat?
A: Aside from the fact that an object can't listen to itself, link messages are much faster than using chat functions as well as being private. They're higher-capacity, avoiding chat's 255-character limitations, and use fewer prims. Also, if you tend to have memory overflow problems in a single script, you can use link messages to communicate between scripts in the same object, thus enabling separate storage or even pseudo-multithreading. And finally, as any type can be cast to a string, link messages can transfer all types of data. Regards Shyan |
