Would someone help me to figure out a script filter to accept chat commands from an script within object of the owner as well as directly from the owner?

Thanks, Mod

You can't do it 100% really.

One filter would be llListen(0, "Eloise Pasteur", "", "";); or a suitable other channel of course.

And then in the objects that are going to speak have llSetObjectName("Eloise Pasteur";); before they speak and a reset of the name afterwards.

You might also want to check in the listen event if either the key of the speaker is the key of the owner, or if not if GetOwnerKey is my key.

Something like:

CODE
listen(integer chan, string name, key id, string msg)
{
    if(id==llGetOwner() || llGetOwnerKey(id)==llGetOwner)
    {
        //Do your stuff
    }
}


NB: There are obviously much, much neater ways to do that with a constant for llGetOwner() etc. but you should get the idea I hope.

Eloise,
the " if(id==llGetOwner() || llGetOwnerKey(id)==llGetOwner)" did the job and cleaned up my script considerably. Thank you so much, Mod

change to
CODE

listen(integer chan, string name, key id, string msg) 
{ 
    if(llGetOwner()==llGetOwnerKey(id))
    { 
        //Do your stuff 
    } 
}

As the result of llGetOwnerKey of an avatar key is the avatar key. This will be faster.

Ah, thanks for the positive feedback Mod, and thanks for that Strife - the wiki doesn't suggest it works for avies, but it does make things faster.
