Help with Elevator CALL BOX - Shout doesn't seem to work on longer distance call

[Pixels Sideways]

 

UPDATE:

****  FIXED IT - I was today years old when I found out that Shout is limited to 100m and RegionSay is sim wide so got the Call Box to work. Yay!

Also - read the LSL Wiki first, pixels. 🙂

I'll leave this here in the event someone else might find it helpful.  xo

 

Hola Again:  

I made a simple elevator script that works.

The call box in the elevator works with a listen and a Say "go here" to the designated floor coords.

However, the external call boxes on each floor which I copied from the one in elevator and set to Shout rather than Say, don't work on the longer distance runs. 

The external call boxes work if the elevator car is closer but the distance from ground floor to the top most floor is 80-90m and if the elevator car is on the top floor and I call it from the ground floor, it will not respond.   

I thought Shout was sim wide so the listen in the elevator script could hear the command and respond anywhere on the sim.

As noted, the call box in the elevator works and takes you from the underground straight to the top with no issue.

What would cause the external Shout call box to not work?

Been driving me cray cray trying to figure this out.

TY for your help.

llShout is not region wide, the range is 100 meters, including the third dimension.

You can use https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlRegionSay instead which is region wide.

I just came back to update my post with that that info, Frionil.  TY. xo
