I'm a bit lost as to how I can get two huds to communicate with each other when they're in different regions, can I do it without having a web server?

Sounds like llEmail will work, but I'm not sure. It can communicate with objects...

It can communicate with objects... http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=llEmail It can but using llemail causes a script sleep and email especially through the lsl gateway can take quite some time at best and not arrive at all at worst so it isn't entirely reliable, that being said neither are any of the alternatives (communicating with a webserver as an intermediary for example) _____________________

if you're willing to use a server as a gateway (rather than directly emailing the hud object, which is little faster) you might want to go with http using post and get... on rez the huds can post their key and owners name.... then you could use get to grab the key and name you want from another hud and use direct e-mail... or even post messages... beware e-mails from a specific object are throttled much like http request are throttled. you could post mesages to the server but that's likely to be laggy since you'll have to poll to pick up messages.
you can lose the script sleep by placing the e-mail calls in their own script(s) and then addressing them from the main script _____________________

you could post mesages to the server but that's likely to be laggy since you'll have to poll to pick up messages. You should be able to use a combination of HTTP and XML-RPC to avoid excessive polling. The RPC would essentially just be a notification to the script that there are messages that can be retrieved by HTTP. An occasional poll might be good in case the RPC stuffs up somehow, in which case it should probably be logged and flagged, or the RPC re-initialized. And since the RPC is used only for simple notification and not data, its unreliability in SL shouldn't really matter. |
