Periodically say /1 show

I sell furniture with poseballs that react on the familiar /1 show and /1 hide chat commands. I prefer to keep it this way and not change channel, because most buyers know this command. Unfortunatley this also means that people can shout /1 hide in my shop, so newbie customers wont see the poseballs anymore.

Shortly I will be going on a rl holiday for some weeks. If I wanted to make a script that periodically would say or shout /1 show, how should I do this? Of course I would place prims with that script in the surroundings of my shop items, so my neighbours objects will not be affected.

You'd use something like this. This should say "show" on channel 1 every 5 minutes. If you'd rather shout it then replace llSay with llShout.

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSetTimerEvent(300); // five minutes (5*60)
        llOwnerSay("Activated.");
    }

    timer()
    {
        llSay(1, "show");
    }
}

errr, why not just modify the original show hide to only respond to the owner?

Why not just put sit targets in the furniture itself and save some prims?

Wow, three great suggestions and they are all different AND effective. Thanks.

Okay, the reason I sometimes use poseballs instead of sit targets in the furniture itself is because I want angles and degrees perfectly right. I can simply not achieve that in the script only.

Anthony, thanks for this simple solution. Since I am no scripter myself this will help me through my holiday.

Newgate. Your suggestion is to be preferred of course. But the script I got from the Wiki is so difficult that I wouldn't know what commands to use and where.

post it and we can play. Show hide shoudl be very simple to implement.
