KanryDrago Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 A question for everyone A collar can block im's I know however what I am looking for is slightly different A friend wants to be able to block the im's of a specific person but not block that person in local. The reason being she is on an rp sim and therefore wants the local chat but doesnt want any im's. Anyone know of such a thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eighthdwarf Checchinato Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 AFAIK for the collar to be able to block IM's she would have to run an RLV(a)-enabled viewer anyways. So, she still could wear a collar, only on "Stealth" mode (which makes the collar invisible) and with no owner set, and/or in "Vanilla" mode (=with herself as owner). However, using a collar, and being on with an RLV(a)-enabled viewer, she would block *all* IM's, both sent to her and those shed tries to send. I don't know of any other way, sorry.

Louise Vandervoort Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I know that there are roleplay sims that use a mandatory hud, which block the use of IM. Without those huds, you would simply not have access to the roleplay area of the sim. Maybe it's worth investigating something like that as well. Although I think that would also rely on RLV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Deakins Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) Why the need to block IMs? Why not just ignore them from that certain person? She doesn't have to read or reply to them. The effect would be the same. The other person would send an IM and not receive a reply. Edited November 30, 2017 by Phil Deakins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know of such a thing If I remember correctly, there's a setting in viewer preferences (location may vary depending on viewer used) to only allow IM's from groups and friends...

Yes she has rlv, she just doesnt want to block all ims merely ones from a particular person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Deakins Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) True, it's hard to ignore, but it only needs a quick click, without reading it, to stop it flashing, and the other person isn't going to keep on IMing her when he's getting no responses. It would be better to do it the way you have in mind, of course, but if the system can't be found, my alternative will work Edited November 30, 2017 by Phil Deakins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innula Zenovka Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Not tested, but I think this should do it, worn as a HUD or even as an object on the ground. Needs RLV/RLVa activated, obviously. integer iToggle; string strUUIDtoBlock ="uuid of person you want to block"; string strBlockCommand; default { state_entry() { strBlockCommand = "@recvimfrom:"+strUUIDtoBlock+"="; } touch_start(integer num_detected) { if(llDetectedKey(0) == llGetOwner()){ if(iToggle=!iToggle){ llOwnerSay("Blocking IMs from uuid "+strUUIDtoBlock); llOwnerSay(strBlockCommand+"n"); } else{ llOwnerSay("Allowing IMs from uuid "+strUUIDtoBlock); llOwnerSay(strBlockCommand+"y"); } } } } 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innula Zenovka Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) @KanryDrago If it doesn't work, ping me and I'll fix it when I can get in-world to test. It looks right but I wrote if quickly and didn't test, which is asking for trouble. But I live dangerously!
