The /me is not working

[Komali Graves]

Hello. I have been on SL since 2007 and I got this chatter thing for better roleplays and whatnot...I am trying to figure out how to get the /me working again...cause when I had the last chatter update the /me stopped working. Can anyone help me out here?

Is this a scripted item you're talking about?  /me is built into the viewer, and works only in open chat (not IM's).  If you're refering to a scripted object though, that's a different matter, can you eleborate?

[Nick Janus]

Of course /me works in IM's .

Can you elaborate on what a 'chatter thing' is? I suspect it's one of those channel listener attachments so you can communicate over a wider area? They will always announce the avatars name differently so perhaps the /me switch won't appear as it should

I know this chatter: https://www.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=231793

But I don't know if that is the Komali's question .

Weird.. did you try just open local chat? Works normally for me... or do you use an addon or Hud?

[Kerri Macarthur]

Ahh, I see what the chatter item is now.

These kind of devices usually work by getting the owners name and using that when the object 'speaks'. So the text you see isn't coming direct from you, but from your hud that has taken your name.

Therefore, /me wouldn't work because the script is using your name to talk and this part cannot be bypassed.

If it used to work, then I'd talk to the object creator. They may have made some changes and are unaware of this problem.

I was having the same problem, but found a way to fix it.

 

Actually, my problem was that there was a gesture using the "/me" to send messages through a HUD of a old RPG I used to play long ago. Press Ctrl + G, and search of a gesture using the "/me", and delete it. And there you go, you can use the "/me" again.

 

I hope that helps other people who come across the same problem. :)

Let's hope so, because the commenters above have probably all passed away by now considering this thread is almost 12 years old.

By "passed away", I mean lost interest in SL years ago. 😉

That "Last Visited" metric in people's profiles is obviously broken, too.
