Variable Required Description

botname yes Your bot's SL login.

Comments

The message is being delivered to all visitors of the sim. It is visible as a separate window in viewer.

Also:

  • You have to teleport to the region first.
  • To execute this function your bot needs to be an Estate Manager.
  • You don't need a "Sim Governor" add-on to use this function.

Examples

Teleport to DuoLife region and welcome everyone there:

// You need to adjust the vars below:
string sbApiKey = "...";
string sbBotName = "...";
string sbBotAccessCode = "...";

string myHome = "DuoLife/128/128/20";

// First, teleport to the desired region
string params = llDumpList2String([
  "action="  + "teleport",
  "location=" + llEscapeURL(myHome),
  "apikey="  + llEscapeURL(sbApiKey),
  "botname=" + llEscapeURL(sbBotName),
  "secret="  + llEscapeURL(sbBotAccessCode)
  ], "&");
 
llHTTPRequest("https://api.mysmartbots.com/api/bot.html",
  [HTTP_METHOD,"POST"], params);

// Then restart it:
params = llDumpList2String([
  "action="  + "sim_send_message",
  "message=" + llEscapeURL("Welcome to DuoLife!")
  ], "&");
 
llHTTPRequest("https://api.mysmartbots.com/api/bot.html",
  [HTTP_METHOD,"POST"], params);
