Overview
The Dragon HUD's allow the user to control various actions and sounds at a press of a button. However, the HUDs are complicated items containing many prims, scripts and textures. To reduce lag it can be better to detach the HUD's and use other means to activate actions and sounds.
Within LSL the are a number of ways in which communication between two objects can be realised. In this case, the HUDs are communicating with the Dragons by chatting on a specific agreed channel. This channel is 42. Conventional "chat" is on channel 0.
Thus the user can activate actions and sounds simply by chatting to the dragon using the appropriate channel. This is achieved by prefixing the command with a forward slash '/' followed by the channel number. As an example:
- to activate the dragon breath the command would be: /42 breath on
- to deactivate the dragon breath the command would be /42 breath off
It should be noted that all commands are case sensitive.
The following table detail the commands that are supported and there applicability by dragon species:
