Variables

The following table shows input values (you send them with the API call) and returned output values.

Variable Required Description
Input basic parameters:

botname yes Your bot's SL login.
secret yes Bot access code of your bot.

custom The value from input "custom" parameter. See above.

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);
