Reply to menu dialog
This script demonstrates how to use the reply_dialog API command.
It performs the following actions:
Waits until you touch it
Sends a dialog window to your bot
Reports the bot’s menu selection back to you
Place this code in an in-world object and replace the variables at the beginning with your own values.
string sbApiKey = "...";
string sbBotName = "YourBotName Resident";
string sbBotAccessCode = "bot-access-code";
// Hint: sbBotName is the bot's name. However, you can place
// your SL name here to see the dialog yourself (and even touch the button).
// Obviously, HTTP API won't make you touch the menu automatically :)
key httpReq = NULL_KEY;
integer CHANNEL = -11;
default {
touch_start(integer total_number) {
llOwnerSay("Searching for UUID, bot "+sbBotName);
// Look for bot nearby (we can use HTTP API name2key here, too)
llSensor(sbBotName, NULL_KEY, AGENT, 96, PI);
}
sensor(integer num) {
// We've detected our bot!
// Hint: If "Found" message does not appear,
// check that the bot is within 96 meters range.
key id = llDetectedKey(0);
llOwnerSay("Found bot UUID: "+ (string)id +
", sending dialog menu and waiting 3 seconds...");
// Sending dialog to the bot
llListen(CHANNEL, sbBotName, NULL_KEY, "");
llDialog(id, "Are you human or bot?", ["human", "bot", "both"], CHANNEL);
// Wait 3 seconds and then make bot reply
llSetTimerEvent(3);
}
timer() {
llOwnerSay("Now sending HTTP command to the bot " +
"to click the menu's item 'bot'...");
// The HTTP API command is being sent here:
string params = llDumpList2String([
"action=" + "reply_dialog",
"apikey=" + llEscapeURL(sbApiKey),
"botname=" + llEscapeURL(sbBotName),
"secret=" + llEscapeURL(sbBotAccessCode),
"channel=" + (string)CHANNEL,
"object=" + (string)llGetKey(),
"button=" + llEscapeURL("bot")
], "&");
llHTTPRequest("https://api.mysmartbots.com/api/bot.html",
[HTTP_METHOD, "POST"], params);
llSetTimerEvent(0);
}
listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message) {
// We've got a reply from the menu!
llOwnerSay("Bot touched the menu item: " + message);
}
}Important Note
This example is a simplified demonstration.
In practice, you might need to handle:
When the bot actually receives a popup dialog
The channel that dialog uses (since it can vary each time)
