Prefixes, Chat Commands and Other Non Menu Functions

In Second Life, the local chat line is also the line used for scripting calls. Any channel can be used; the channel that is visible as local chat is channel 0 and is used by default. OpenCollar script calls include a prefix to direct the call, plus the call name. For instance, to call a menu directly, you can use the chat command with your prefix plus the menu name:
[prefix] menu
calls the main menu.
Your default prefix is the first two letters of your user name. It can be changed by the collar owner only. Wearers who have set an owner cannot change the prefix unless OwnSelf is checked.
To change the prefix, type: [prefix] prefix [newprefix].
For instance: Suppose your user name is joezipcode and you want to change jo to jz:
Type: jo prefix jz.
There are two global prefixes. * issues commands to everyone in range with the required level of access, and # issues commands to everyone in range with the required level of access except yourself.
For instance: * menu
calls the main menu for every wearer to whom you have access in range of the call (20m by default)
Please use this with care. Just because someone is set to public or group access does not mean they have given you blanket permission to mess with their collar without engaging them in play or conversation first.
The Channel number can also be changed this way. To change the channel number, type
[prefix] channel [new number] or for instance: jo channel 3 .
The collar safeword is a powerful global tool that will revoke all collar settings and return the collar to default, with the exception of the lock, the access list and the relay settings. It will release you from traps set through the relay. If you don't want all your settings changed when you are trapped through the relay, use the relay safeword button instead (see Relay). The default collar safeword is RED, all caps. You can also type it on channel 1 [ /1 RED ] or in ooc brackets which cannot be blocked by an RLV command [ ((RED)) ].
You can change your safeword:
[prefix] safeword [new safeword] or for instance: jo safeword BLUE.
