I need to add some error checking in a script that uses llSetTexture() to set a texture where it gets the Asset UUID of the texture from a notecard.
Is there a way to verify the UUID exists and that it is a texture before I call llSetTexture()? llSetTexture() does not return any error codes, which would solve the problem if it did!
I look here in the forums and the LSL inworld wiki for a function that would do this to no avail.

There is no way to cross check that kind of thing.
Pretty much the only option is to check whether it is an avatar or not by requesting details on the key. |

This isn't entirely true; if you call llSetTexture and it uses an invalid key, it'll cause an error saying "Couldn't find texture <insert string here>," and the texture of the face/object will remain the same, at least as far as I've tested. So just check whether the texture has changed keys. Edit: Argh, okay, I lied. It'll say 'Couldn't find texture' if the input is not in a key format, but otherwise it'll set that texture to the given key, and if it's invalid, it shows the missing image texture. However, there is indeed no way to tell whether that's valid. Yet. There will be, once the new search databases finishing indexing all the old texture keys and are then loading up new ones, to my understanding. _____________________

best you can do is test whether it's a valid key, not which type
if(variableUuidOfTypeKey){ //returns false for NULL_KEY and any invalid key _____________________

It isn't perfect by a longshot but a way to at least do a rough check for a uuid is to do a length check, that won't determine if it's a texture uuid or even in a valid uuid format but it will stop obvious mistakes from getting through.

Can't you cast it to a key and see if the result == NULL_KEY?
