Email or Timer Not Working

The following is code that I wrote to be able to remotely change a prim's texture, but it's not working. I've tried putting llSay(0, "Hello, Avatar!" in the time event to just see if the time is working and that doesn't work either. So, I'm not sure if the email isn't being received, the timer isn't working, or both? I was attempting to send the email from another object, but just to try to get things to work I've been sending the UUID of a random texture that I have through my real life email account.


default
{
state_entry()
{
//Set Timer
llSetTimerEvent(1.0);
//Get Key
llSay(0, llGetKey());
}
timer()
{
//Receive Email
llGetNextEmail("", "";
}

email(string time, string address, string subj, string message, integer
num_left)
{
//Set Texture
llSetTexture((string)subj, ALL_SIDES);
}
}

EDIT: I've done some testing and using Touch_Start I've been able to get object to object email to work; so, I'm thinking the problem must be with the timer.

EDIT: I've decided that emailing to the object from my regular email would actually work better than doing object to object, but the object has yet to have reacted to the email I sent. Is there a special procedure for sending emails to an in-world object?

It appears you should be getting to the timer event just fine. Have you checked to make sure the "Running" checkbox is filled in for the script (oh, and that the script is actually compiling and saving without error)?

The script is compiling and saving fine. I haven't checked the running option but since other aspects of the script work I would assume it is checked. My next question is how long should I expect an in-bound message from an outside email to take to reach an object? I waited about an hour before I had to leave (posting this from my phone) and there was no evidence that the email had been received yet. Thanks.

do you have another prim setting off the appropriate llEmail command??

Outside emails to LSL simply do not work. They may arrive six hours late, they may not arrive at all; this has been Linden confirmed on the scripters' list, the basics of the system that handles it do not scale and they recommend using something else, like llHTTPRequest.

Thanks for the responses. I guess I will reformat my project to use object to object email, but I will still have to find the source of my time troubles. I have an idea for a more automated design that may remove my need for a timer that sends an email. The timer in the receiving object works fine.

Also, I do have the llEmail command in use. After further testing I discovered that it was the sending that was the problem. The code is the same as above for the timer but llEmail is used instead of llGetNextEmail.

Oh, it's the sender that messes up? llEmail has a whopping penalty, a 20 second delay is tacked on, so it doesn't behave very well with timers. You might want to put the email sending into a little script of its own, and use a link message in your timer handler to tell the emailer when to do its thing. If you need to send more than one email in 20 seconds, you might need to even use multiple helper scripts.

How do I trigger a seperate script?

Sent a simple example round-robin mailer in world.

Thank you!
