Multiple scripts within one prim

I have two scripts within the same prim, and am trying to get them to talk together via the llMessageLinked() command. However, it seems that only one script is receiving the link_message() event. Is it possible to set it up so that both scripts receive all link messages?

A script can not talk to itself via linked messages, so with only two scripts only one gets the message originating from the other. Why would you want both scripts to receive the message? The script that originates it already knows the content.

I script can receive messages sent from itself if LINK_THIS is used. I have done it.

What are you trying to do? If you can explain us and show us the code we'd be able to help you.

Erm. Unlike chat messages, scripts DO hear their own link messages, if they are sent to the prim (either specifically, or as part of a specified group) the script is in.

To the OP: Make sure you have a link_message() event in both scripts, and that you are indeed sending the message to the specified prim (either via LINK_THIS, LINK_SET, or llGetLinkNumber()).

Your absolutely wrong.

A script can here its own link_message.

Correct, a Script WILL hear itself if the linknum is including this prim (LINK_SET, LINK_THIS, etc). that is why it is good to use a "incoming" and "outgoing" integer for the 'integer num'. this will allow, especially if your using like commands to communication.

True. The originating script does hear its own LINK_THIS messages. The problem is that the other script in the same object doesn't. What I am trying to do is create a generic button script for a HUD with a separate component in a separate script that allows the user to set some basic parameters without exposing the code for the button action.

Thom, if you're using LINK_THIS, all the other scripts in the same prim will also receive the message. Make sure that the script is actually running. I've had situations where the script gets turned off for some reason. If it's off, it obviously won't react to anything.

Try this:

==script 1==

default
{
	touch_start(integer total_number)
	{
		llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS,1,"Testing 1", "");
	}
	link_message(integer sender_number, integer number, string message, key id)
	{
		llOwnerSay("script 1 " + message);
	}
}

==script 2 ==

default
{
	link_message(integer sender_number, integer number, string message, key id)
	{
		llOwnerSay("script 2 " + message);
	}
}

outputs:
"[16:48] Object: script 2 Testing 1
[16:48] Object: script 1 Testing 1"

Oops, my bad. I was having a no coffee day, ran out and hadn't gotten to the store yet.

You can also do this:

==script 1==

default
{
	touch_start(integer total_number)
	{
		llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS,1,"Testing 1", "");
	}
	link_message(integer sender_number, integer number, string message, key id)
	{
		if(number == 2)
		{
			llOwnerSay("script 1 " + message + " number = " + (string)number);
		}
	}
}

==script 2==

default
{
	touch_start(integer total_number)
	{
		llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS,2,"Testing 2", "");
	}
	link_message(integer sender_number, integer number, string message, key id)
	{
		if(number == 1)
		{
			llOwnerSay("script 2 " + message + " number = " + (string)number);
		}
	}
}

outputs:
"[17:06] Object: script 2 Testing 1 number = 1
[17:06] Object: script 1 Testing 2 number = 2"

script can hear itself via linkmessage???

TRUE... but funny hearing the question, from what i remember of the literature, THIS ISN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN... i -think- linkmessages are =supposed= to be automatically ignored by the calling script. :\

correct me if i'm wrong, scripting gurus... i've noticed this myself lately, but haven't had time to address it at all... am i confusing things? maybe it's the 'listen' that is not supposed to hear itself (but i don't recall running into these interferences with listens - only lately, linkmessages...)

CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG ) (super-smiley sized i'm gonna hafta start a jira just to open up my smiley allowance!!

p.s. very simple filtering on script-name works well, see my 'product delivery script' package elsewhere for that... guess that's why i've never brought it up myself, i almost always use that.

Yep, you are thinking of llSay & listen.
