Delay between clicks

[XbabylonX]

Hello,

I have the following code:

key myRequest;
string Who;
default
{
    state_entry()
    {

    }
    touch_start(integer number)
    {
    Who=llDetectedKey(0);
    llInstantMessage(Who,"Sending request to the server! Please wait...");
    myRequest=llHTTPRequest("http://example.com/Page.asp",
          [HTTP_METHOD, "POST",
           HTTP_MIMETYPE, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"],
           "Who=" + llGetUsername(llDetectedKey(0)));
    }

    http_response(key request_id, integer status, list metadata, string body)
    {
            if (request_id == myRequest)
            {

            llInstantMessage(Who,body);
            }
    }
}

 The scenario is as follows:

Avatar clicks the prim and the code runs.

If avatar wants to click it again, has to wait some seconds.

 

As you understand, I want to protect my webserver from accepting mass requests with this button.

To stop the object to react on clicks for a bit, you simply add a timer and a flag:

key myRequest;string Who;integer touchable = 1;default{    state_entry()    {    }    touch_start(integer number)    {    	if (touchable) {    		touchable = 0;		Who=llDetectedKey(0);		llSetTimerEvent(10.0);		llInstantMessage(Who,"Sending request to the server! Please wait...");		myRequest=llHTTPRequest("http://example.com/Page.asp",		      [HTTP_METHOD, "POST",		       HTTP_MIMETYPE, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"],		       "Who=" + llGetUsername(llDetectedKey(0)));	    } else {	   		llInstantMessage(Who,"Please wait a bit");	    }    }    http_response(key request_id, integer status, list metadata, string body)    {            if (request_id == myRequest)            {            llInstantMessage(Who,body);            }    }        timer() {
           touchable = 1; 
           llSetTimerEvent(0);
     }
}

 You could also wait for the http_response for setting touchable to 1 again, which at you current design would be better, since if the response has not arrived back when a second avi touches the objects, Who will be overwritten and the first ava won't get the IM in the response event, but the 2nd avi would get two mesages-

The touchee is likely in the same sim to be able to click on the prim.

llInstantMessage has a forced delay of 2 seconds ( http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlInstantMessage )

llRegionSayTo performs similar function (for messages sent to a user in the same sim) but has no delay. ( http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlRegionSayTo )

 

Replace the function calls with llRegionSayTo(Who, PUBLIC_CHANNEL, "Text");

"Text" being your original message.
