llRegioSayTo() sim capping questions

[KliveOne]

Ive looked all over and found not real 100% information on the sim capping issue with this function.

 

My question is since attachments can 'hear' lsl using llRegionSayTo does that count towards the limit if you are NOT using channel 0?

This is an anti-spam measure. The answer you need is right there in the function specs:

"There is a per-destination throttle of 200 messages sent over 10 seconds on channel zero. Thereafter, there is also a per-sending-object throttle of 100 messages on channel zero over 300 seconds (5 minutes). This throttle is relevant only after the first throttle is activated. Messages sent on channels other than zero do not trigger the throttle but, once it is triggered, the block applies to all channels. The block is region-wide and applies to all objects with the same owner. The block apparently lasts until the region is restarted."

So, the answer to your question is "YES".  As soon as you use llRegionSayTo on PUBLIC_CHANNEL, you have triggered the cap, so any requests after that count toward the limit.
