Anyone up for outlining the steps to creating something a HUD to BlogHUD? (Skip the serverside; that's common sense. This is an LSL forum, so please focus on the weird llfunctions and all in LSL.)

WWW.BLOGHUD.COM if u haven't heard of it!

try rephrasing the question in a sensible manner, that make zero sense.

actually i've already figured out some of the sl functions involved in the lsl side.

but, basically, i was asking which lsl functions and their usage make up the lsl involved.

oh, and if bloghud sounds like huh to you (uhhh bad pun; sorry. heh ;) ), check out www.bloghud.com

I'm going to suggest that the touch_start event handler collects the trigger event when you click on the HUD buttons. llSetColor recolors the buttons upon clicking them. llEmail and llHttpRequest can be used to zap info to the webserver, llGetNotecardLine (or whatever it is) can be used to read off notecarded posts once the Changed event handler signals that you've dropped a notecarded post onto the HUD. The allow inventory drop bit is probably useful too. llRemoveInventory would work well in getting rid of that pesky notecard once youre done with it. llListen, llListenRemove, and the listen event handler would be pretty useful in getting short posts from the user. llOwnerSay if your HUD is polite, llWhisper or llSay if it is spammy. llStartAnimation if you want to integrate a sexball into your me-too BlogHUD-like device. Just kidding. =)
