Cool VL Viewer forum

Second Life has a new script function, llTextBox, but right now the only viewer which supports it is Emerald. Could support for this function be implemented into Cool Viewer's next release?

More info here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlTextBox

how does a viewer "support" a script function? i thought lsl is server side?

Well, this pops up a window which you enter a text value into, and the popup isn't supported viewer-side.

then how does the stock LL viewer do it?
if it doesn't, that script command shouldn't be used yet.

This function just needs to get its viewer side implemented (while scripts are executed server side, some functions also have a viewer part, such as the functions requiring an input from the user which llTextBox() is part of).

While it would be possible to do it, it would be of little use as long as the official SL viewer does not implement it itself: you would be able to write your own scripts and use this function in them, but no one with a "normal" viewer would be able to use those scripts for themselves.

It's therefore not a priority as far as I am concerned...
