as per what this product says...

https://www.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=1345942

didn't know it was possible...

but of course once i read that it was possible, i started seeing it everywhere... one of those things....

trying to guess what it would be that has the 24 character limit....

(is it gesture generated?)

llDialog() on channel 0 shows up in chat centered on the location of the script... and chat dialogs can be sent to the object owner across sims, so you could also use this method to speak (in white) in chat from a completely different sim.

Freaks people out. ;)

new limits: ? "My testing shows the a Dialog box now works anywhere in the same Region as the object OR any region it hands you off to (e.g. the region you teleport to). It will not work for any subsequent hand offs. I have tested this with teleport only, I haven't tested it walking between regions. "

llDialog is like llRegionSay but llRegionSay does not work on chat channel 0. but llDialog does.

The llDialog reply works, though LSL placed some harsh limits on the length of the button strings...

For the purpose of sending a generic greeting, a gesture works fine and can be bound to a key.

For a third possibility, you could give this a try:
llOwnerSay("secondlife:///app/chat/0/Hello" + llUnescapeURL("%c2%ao";) + "world";);

That third possibility is making yellow text on my screen that says
"Object: secondlife:///app/chat/0/Hello*world".

Sweet! so this makes the owner say something on a defined channel. So if you had an attachments which listens on different channel you could make a script out all the different commands then you could just select the one you want.

actually it should make anyone that clicks it in the chat history window say it.

it's kinda like an optional poll that you only have to click a button for... then a single listening script could easile filter and gather the names of all the people that clicked it.

very nice, you could easily generate a number of choices with the names already inserted, and without the string limit of dialog(it works on other channels too)

what does the "%c2%ao" do though?

"*", or Alt+255, in place of space.. I don't think the forum likes that, but it seems to be fine to the compiler

so when generating a string, it would need to find the spaces, and replace them with the unescapeurl thing?

@Jesse:
standard client? do the app/teleport links in chat work for you?

From: Chaz Longstaff
yeah i'm lost about what in chat history is being clicked.

inworld chat history will have a link if you if you throw this in a script
llOwnerSay("secondlife:///app/chat/0/Hello" + llUnescapeURL("%c2%ao";) + "world";);

if you click the text that pops up in chat, you should say "Hello world" without having typed it. (shouldn't %A0 be enough? I think that's the non-breaking space...)

hmm, i just wrote up a test script for a theory i had for generating the string:

CODE

string text = "honey bees love to gather nectar";
string insert = "%c2%ao";
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        
        integer len = llStringLength(text);
        integer i;
        for(i = 0;i<len;i++)
        {
            if(llGetSubString(text,i,i) == " "){
                text = llDeleteSubString(text,i,i);
                text = llInsertString(text,i,insert);
            }
        }
        llOwnerSay(text);
    }
}


it returns:

Object: honey%c2%aobees%c2%aolove%c2%aoto gather nectar

which made me realize, the string length obviously changes each time the space is replaces, so it would never make it to the end of the string, how would i make that work?

edit: nevermind, ran the for loop backwards and it worked just fine:

CODE

for(len;len> -1;len--)
        {
            if(llGetSubString(text,len,len) == " "){
                text = llDeleteSubString(text,len,len);
                text = llInsertString(text,len,insert);
            }
        }


Object: honey%c2%aobees%c2%aolove%c2%aoto%c2%aogather%c2%aonectar

but if anyone can figure out a more efficient way, let me know :-)
