Feature request: being able to change more/all settings through "Nearby Chat" lines

[ChristinaQualquiera]

What version of OpenCollar are you using? 7.4

What behavior did you expect? To be able to make more collar setting changes through Local Chat commands.

What behavior did you see instead? The option evidently is not available.

What steps does someone need to take to reproduce the problem? I'm not sure what programming is involved.

It would be very nice to be able to adjust a collection of collar settings all at one go through an SL "Gesture" comprised of a collection of Chat commands. One can currently, for example, type the command "/1[prefix] leash" to leash a collar-wearer, and "/1[prefix] length [number]" to set the leash length, but it would also be nice to be able through such commands set leash texture and weight and anything else. By being able to do this through chat commands, and by being able to compile a collection of such commands into a single "Gesture", the speed and smoothness of the RP could be greatly increased over time spent fumbling around to change this setting, then that setting, then another, etc. This would apply not only to leash characteristics, but also RLV settings, and possibly other settings.

No work has been done on this, it may come up again if there is sufficient interest

Keep. This really wouldn't be hard to add at all.

This one has been here for a long time. Anyone ready to make it so?

For the specific instance of leash settings, the particle script will need some modification to grant chat commands for those. Not a big task but also not something I'd want to prioritise for 8.3.

Chaining together commands such as leash / set leash length together in a gesture can be done now by creating gestures with multiple chat lines. Something to consider -- and an easy option to add -- is chained chat commands. For example, we could allow "/1 (prefix) length 2 | leash" which would be split on the pipe to send "length 2" immediately followed by "leash". Thoughts?
