Comments

This command tells the bot to start logging in.
It is always successful:

  • You won’t get an error if the bot is already logged in.

  • You won’t get an error if the bot’s password is incorrect.

You can use the set_http_callback command to receive HTTP notifications when the bot logs in or out.

Example

Log in your bot immediately (the command is ignored if the bot is already logged in).
This example logs the bot into the DuoLife region:

string recipient = "Tester Resident";

string params = llDumpList2String([
  "action="  + "login",
  "apikey="  + llEscapeURL(sbApiKey),
  "botname=" + llEscapeURL(sbBotName),
  "secret="  + llEscapeURL(sbBotAccessCode),
  "location="  + llEscapeURL("DuoLife/206/36/94")
], "&");
 
llHTTPRequest("https://api.mysmartbots.com/api/bot.html",
  [HTTP_METHOD, "POST"], params);
