I'm trying to make a listener that listens to all the channels at once, it's turned on by a link message from another script in the object. How would i make it so that it listens for all channels and relays it back to the owner? I have this so far, but i'm not sure what to do. Should i maybe just take out the llListen function and just leave a:
CODE

 default
 {
 		listen(integer c, string n, key id string msg)
 				   {
 						  if (c != 0)
 								{
 									llOwnerSay(msg);
 								} 
 					   }
 			 }


here's the script i have so far.

CODE

 default
 {
 	on_rez(integer start_params)
 	{
 		llResetScript();
 	}
 	link_message(integer sender_num, integer num, string str, key id)
 	{
 		if (str == "listenall")
 		{
 			llListen("","",NULL_KEY,"");//no idea what to put for the channel section?
 		}
 	}
 	listen(integer c, string n, key id, string msg)
 	{
 		if (c != 0)
 		{
 			llOwnerSay(msg);
 		}
 	}
 }

Unpossible.

The one argument to llListen() that cannot take a wildcard is the channel. If you could, you would likely not even begin to parse all the intercepted traffic.

There are ways to scan through all 4.3 billion channels, but they are both slow and lagarific.

well the thing is, i've had tools that do it... so it's definitely possible. I just don't understand how. :/

You can listen to more than one channel at a time by creating a listen for each separate channel. But I doubt that your tools listened to all 4 billion of them.

CODE

integer chan = 0;
default
{
	state_entry()
	{
		llSetTimerEvent(1.0);
	}
	timer()
	{
		state scan;
	}
}
state scan
{
	state_entry()
	{
		if(chan == 2147483647)
		{
			llOwnerSay("Wake up you old fart! We need to start on the negative channels now");
		}
		llListen(chan, "", NULL_KEY, "" );
		llSetTimerEvent(1.0);
	}
	listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
	{
		llSetTimerEvent(15.0);//Something on this channel get the
		//messages and say them until there is a 25 second break
		llOwnerSay(message);
	}
	touch_start(integer total_number)
	{
		state default;
	}
	timer()
	{
		chan++;
		state default;
	}
}

Hey, cool! Now you can quickly scan the entire chat spectrum in only 136 years! Unless, of course, you happen to pick up something, in which case it will take longer.

Cool, I always wanted a program with a best case time of 76 years and a worse case time of 1100 years, I'm getting more patient in my later years. And it doesn't even handle the negative channels.

Guess I should have made it sing one verse from "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" every 2 years so it won't be so boring.

I don't about you, but that sounds like a challenge. Just how many channels *can* a script listen to at once? As it turns out, 65, after which you get a script error "Too Many Listens". So it turns out your object would only need a little over 66 million scripts to listen to the entire chat spectrum at once. Of course, somewhere along the line there, the sim would crash. I got up to 650 before I chickened out. If someone has a sim they don't mind crashing, they might want to test further.

CODE

default
{
    state_entry() {
        integer ch = 0;
        llListen(++ch, "", NULL_KEY, "");
        llListen(++ch, "", NULL_KEY, "");
        llListen(++ch, "", NULL_KEY, "");
        llListen(++ch, "", NULL_KEY, "");
        llListen(++ch, "", NULL_KEY, "");
        llListen(++ch, "", NULL_KEY, "");
        llListen(++ch, "", NULL_KEY, "");
        llListen(++ch, "", NULL_KEY, "");
        llListen(++ch, "", NULL_KEY, "");
        llListen(++ch, "", NULL_KEY, "");
        llListen(++ch, "", NULL_KEY, "");
        llListen(++ch, "", NULL_KEY, "");
        llListen(++ch, "", NULL_KEY, "");
        llListen(++ch, "", NULL_KEY, "");
        llListen(++ch, "", NULL_KEY, "");
        llListen(++ch, "", NULL_KEY, "");
        llListen(++ch, "", NULL_KEY, "");
        llListen(++ch, "", NULL_KEY, "");
        llListen(++ch, "", NULL_KEY, "");
        llListen(++ch, "", NULL_KEY, "");
        llListen(++ch, "", NULL_KEY, "");

    }

    listen (integer intChannel, string strName, key keySpeaker, string strMessage) {
        llOwnerSay((string)intChannel + ": " + strMessage);
    }

I might try it when I get another island - no date for that yet though.

I'm so confused then.. I don't understand how they did it :/ Because i can talk in any channel and it listens to it.

Did you try channel 6325994? How about -14794762?

I came up with an enhancement to my script. Rather than have to manually enter the starting channel in each one, replace line 4:

integer ch = 65 * (integer)(llGetSubString(llGetScriptName(), 9, -1));

Assuming, of course, that your script name is 8 characters long (I named it ListenUp).

Reducing all those llListen calls to a single one, inside a loop, would be the obvious enhancement to start with.

The loop would add excess bytecode overhead which would twart the goal of hammerring as hard as possible on the simulator. :p

Even if you *could*, you *shouldn't*. (Notable exception: debug tool.)
