I was wondering what the best way for scripts in different objects to communicate to each other. I currently use llListen() and llSay() in my scripts for this, making a designated channel for them to talk to each other. Are there any better ways of doing this or is the way I am using the best way?

If they're in different objects, then a listen and llSay() or llRegionSay() is best. I suspect llRegionSay() might be more efficient, since it doesn't need to perform a distance check or be passed to neighboring sims.

It depends. llSay is fine if the objects are within chat distance. If they could be farther apart but in the same sim, llRegionSay is a better choice. If they might somtimes be in different sims, you could use llEmail or some of the http options. If the objects are linked, it can be wiser to use llMessageLinked.

I'd like to thank you all for the help. For most of my projects llRegionSay will probably work best. I have an upcoming project where llRemoteScriptPin might be useful. I don't know much about the HTTP options or how to use them properly. That is something I still have to learn.

Tryhttp://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Category:LSL_HTTP/Client and http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Category:LSL_HTTP/Server for two different perspectives.
