I have a script that I would like to listen for commands from two specific objects. I know llListen can listen for messages from a specific key, but can I specify multiple keys?

You can use NULL_KEY to listen for every key, and then filter inside your listen handler. Or you can use 2 separate listeners. I'm not sure which will be laggier. If many other objects are likely to be speaking on the same channel, using 2 listeners might be better.

my own experience is that a single listen for all keys and then scripting to only pay attention to the keys you want is better.

IMO mutiple listeners are worse becuase your opening up 2+ things that the script has to listen for vs just making a generic listen and filtering it out later with if statements
now if theres 1000 objects i dont know which would be better

Thanks. I'm assuming as well that multiple listeners would not be the way to go. Just wondered if there was a way to make the one listen to only two keys (without doing additional filtering), and it sounds like the answer is no  Kyushu |

One more questions

If I have a script that's in an object, do I want to listen for the key of the script itself? Or the prim it's in?

The prim does the speaking - so it's the prim it's in.
llGetKey() returns the key of the prim the script is in.
A prim is "deaf" to anything it says btw, but can hear other prims quite happily. I've never tested for child prims in an object though it could go either way.
