Hello all -

I'm wondering if there's a way to have an avatar - perhaps sitting - enter text on the chat line and have that text NOT be transmitted on the public channel. Once I detect the 'sit' status, is there a way to redirect normal chat to another channel?

I'm trying to not have them have to type the '/channel' before every input.

I'm suspecting the answer is no, but maybe someone has come up with a way!! Who knows?

Thanks in advance.

The answer is no, but......
You can get away with using /channel text for the first command and then //text for all subsequent commands. // implies the last channel used.

Third party viewers that support Restrained Life can be scripted to do this, there is a @redirchat command just for that. No such luck if you need to stick with the standard viewer.

And don't forget that "/0" chats on the public channel but disables the typing animation for that message. ^^

SOMETIME in the future we MAY get a llTextBox() function which could help with this. A script will be able to bring up a dialog in which you'll be able to enter a line of text and submit it so that it automatically goes to a private channel specified by the script.

See http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-8759

Yeah, it does do a lot of nice stuff, and it's a lot easier to walk someone through installing that than it would be for some libsl proxy or whatever.

You can make a gesture ie. 'say' and have it replace it with '/88' or whatever, whenever they say 'say' it will replace it with /88

I actually have a gesture that redirects everything that I say that starts with "/me" to "/1/me"... which in turn uses one of those fancy nickname RP talker deals to change my name from "Winter Ventura" to whatever the RP requires.

I just prefix what I say with /1, and thanks to the gesture, use /me like normal when an action is required.

I attached a viewer source code patch in that JIRA that makes it work, but that is only helpful if all the people who might use your system can use a viewer that they or you have compiled. Heh. I don't think LL has ever given an ETA.

Unfortunately that particular feature is new, and so far doesn't appear to work as intended. I'm still waiting for it to be fixed.
