Create an Avatar Specific Communication Channel
Sometimes you will want to create a listener that will not interfere with any other avatar using the same object near you. The basic solution of detecting the owner creates a lot of overhead, therefore a better solution is to have individual channels.
Thanks to Winter Seale, on the SecondLife scripters mailing list:
use an avatar specific channel. To do that I would define a function:
integer get_channel(key avatar, integer offset){ return (integer)("0x"+llGetSubString((string)llGetOwnerKey(),-8,-1)) + offset }Then in your script, use:
llSay( get_channel( llDetectedKey(number), -1234 ), (string)llDetectedKey(number) ); ... llListen( get_channel( llGetOwner(), -1234 ), "", "", "");* The reason this is better is that it keeps only one script (the avatar's) listening on this channel. Without this, a script for every person with a HUD would have to execute code every time your in world object was touched.
