object communications
According to the SL 1.16 release announcement, they are adding the function llRegionSay to the scripting language. What does this new feature do?
Says the string msg on channel number channel that can be heard anywhere in the region by a script listening on channel.
This is a very useful feature and one that I was quite shocked to find missing, back in the days when I used to script in SL. I still believe there should be a better inter-object communication system in addition to chat listeners, but this function should help to peel back a layer of complexity when trying to construct any system with distributed nodes. As long as those nodes are in the same region, of course.
