llInstantMessage > but Instant messages dont arrive!

[Zed Avedon]

Im not able to receive a scripted Instant Message from my parcel.

I  can use:
default {
    touch_start(integer num_detected) {
    llSetColor(<1,0,0>,ALL_SIDES);   
    llInstantMessage(llGetOwner(), llDetectedName(0) + " touched me.");
    llSetColor(<1,1,1>,ALL_SIDES);  
    }
}
but it does not send me anything.

I have in the back of my mind that there is a quota of IMs that a sim can send in a given period .. is that true?

... if so.. how do i find the object that is using them all up? ..thx for you input^^ - Zed

See the wiki entry for llInstantMessage to learn about the throttle.  It's per owner per region, so it would have to be your own objects throttling your messages. Also, it's a pretty big number, so it's usually only triggered by things that send out messages to whole lists of customers or group members or whatever. Unless you're doing something like that, you might first want to be sure you didn't accidentally mute the object.

ok.. but now how would i track down the offending object/script? .. any ideas?

thanks Qie for the confirmation btw^^

(and no its not muted) .. i get ims when im somewhere else ..  so its a sim thing.

in the meantime ill turn scripts off on the most likely candidates  .. i suppose ill have to wait till tomorrow to find out if my im allotment has been restored?  ..ok .. we shall see
