Ok, I can get it all to work with command lines, but how can I get it to trigger the listen scripts with the objects in the HUD, note that i have the listen script set to listen to owner, so maybe that is why it won't work, is there a way to make it listen to both owner and the HUD. I don't exactly want the listen to be open to other people though.

use something like this in your listen event on a channel if ((id != llGetOwner()) && (llGetOwnerKey(id) != llGetOwner()))
return;
if the id is not the owner & the key of the object is not the owner it will return -LW |

What about setting a secret long negative number for the channel?

integer channel = (integer)llFrand( 99999 ) + 99999;
// if you must use a negative - personally never bother
channel = channel * -1;
integer lhandle = llListen( channel,"","","" );

hmm... a random number is good usually, but I don't think that it is appropriate for this matter. And you can do this, too.
// channel = channel * -1;
integer lhandle = llListen( -channel,"","","" );

From: Lightwave Valkyrie use something like this in your listen event on a channel if ((id != llGetOwner()) && (llGetOwnerKey(id) != llGetOwner()))
return;
if the id is not the owner & the key of the object is not the owner it will return -LW IIRC, llGetOwnerKey when applied to an avatar's key returns the same key, so you can just use if (llGetOwnerKey(id) != llGetOwner()) return; |

As far as communication goes, incidentally, what I did for the last object-related HUD I built was:
1. pick a particular odd channel e.g. -1231234
2. have the HUD listen on that for any key
3. the object whispers on that channel
4. the HUD picks up that whisper, checks to see if the owners are the same, and if so, cancels the old listen and starts another one specifically for that object's key
That way you don't have to check each time that the owners are the same, and your listen is less laggy as it's tied to one key - important with rapidly-changing HUD information, like an ammunition count in this case. On the other hand you have to make sure that the HUD resets itself on a regular basis as otherwise you have to restart it manually every time you rez the gun again. In most cases I'd just use the owner comparison method.

The HUD seems to recieve the both command's methods, personal chat and object's chat. So if you dare to use owner check... if ((id != llGetOwner()) || (llGetOwnerKey(id) != llGetOwner())) return; ? From: Ordinal Malaprop IIRC, llGetOwnerKey when applied to an avatar's key returns the same key, so you can just use if (llGetOwnerKey(id) != llGetOwner()) return;  I didn't read this carefully.... sorry. Ordinal may be right. This means... llGetOwnerKey(llGetOwner()) == llGetOwner(); ?
