not hearing llDialog button messages

An attachment opens a dialog with llDialog, telling the attached avatar to move somewhere.

When the avatar is finished, they press one of the dialog buttons.

If the avatar moves far enough, then the attachment doesn't hear the dialog chat. It appears that the origin of the chat is set at the time the dialog is opened! Thus, even though the attachment is moving with the avatar, the chat still appears at the attachment's previous position which is now out of chat range.

At least, this is what I think is happening. It could also be some related weirdness about crossing sim boundaries. I haven't done a thorough investigation yet.

Has anyone else noticed something like this?

the wiki says the llDialog chat comes from the same place as the object and since the chat doesn't happen til you hit a button i'm guessing you can't move away from the place where it's coming from. are you sure your listen is alright like listening to the right channel?

it also says "Note that llDialog will only work if the user identified by id is in the same region or if they have been to that region and left but have not yet logged out" so that might apply.

Thanks for the Wiki summary. I tried to go there, but I'm not quite sure where it is now.

I did some tests.

Bottom Line: llDialog only seems to work in the sim that it was created.

Used this code:

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSay(0, "Hello, Avatar!");
    }

    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        llSay(0, "Touched.");
        llDialog(llGetOwner(),"Hello",["goodby"], 0);
    }
}

A little awkward to work with.

I touched it to get the dialog, then attached it and walked. Then, pressed the button.
Or I touched it, then walked away (leaving it on the ground). Then, pressed the button.

It worked as expected in all cases, except when I carried it across a sim boundary.

That is, this did NOT work:
1) touch it to get dialog
2) attach it
3) walk across sim boundary
4) press dialog button

Interestingly, this DID work:
1) touch it to get dialog
2) attach and walk across sim boundary.
3) walk back across boundary to original sim.
4) press dialog button.

So, I guess I'm mostly agreeing with the wiki except that I'm not seeing the"or if they have been to the region..." behavior.

Actually, to be more precise. llDialog doesn't work if the object that created it is in a different sim from the sim in which the llDialog was created. If that makes sense.

sounds like llDialog needs some fixing...
report it as a bug.
