Technical Details

Return Type: void
Energy: 10

Text can be a maximum of 1024 bytes. This can convey 1024 ASCII characters, or 512 UTF-8 characters such as á
Whispers can only be heard within 10 meters of the speaking prim (rather than the root). This is contrary to how listens work, where a message can only be heard by any prim in the object if and only if the root prim is capable of hearing it.
A prim can not hear itself, this to prevent problems with recursion. It can however hear other prims within the same object. Use llMessageLinked instead for intra-prim messaging.

Examples

If you prefer, you can make use of certain mnemonic constants such as PUBLIC_CHANNEL instead of channel 0 and DEBUG_CHANNEL instead of channel +2,147,483,647.

For communicating with the user or owner it is preferable to use llOwnerSay or llInstantMessage or llRegionSayTo as they won’t spam other users.
