llGetCreatorKey

llGetOwner() - gets owner
llGetCreator() - gets creator
llGetOwnerKey(id) - gets owner of key id
llGetCreatorKey(id) - why the hell doesn't this function exist?!?!?!

Hey, took the liberty of filing a feature request on this for you, Mark...
Please view @ https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-449

thanks I hope that somehow this request will reach the lindens.

I really don't understand why this function doesn't exist. Seems like it would be almost identical to llGetOwnerKey (in the SL-server-source code) so why they didn't make it is a mystery.

Getting the creator of another object can help greatly when you try to verify the validity of a message (in listen), since other people (griefers/hackers) should not be able to 'fake' the creator tag (assuming you don't sell modifyable objects).

All other 'security' checks that I can think of can theoretically be 'faked' by hackers, specially when LindenLab makes mistakes that allow anyone to view the scripts they buy from you.

I voted for it, and I still don't get why it doesn't exist, as it would provide a nice way to ignore objects that are using chat-channels you use that were not created by you. It would at least reduce the amount of work required in verifying objects to communicate with, wouldn't be a perfect method but it would cut out objects that are definitely not going to be valid.

Ahh....good point. I was sitting here wondering what the fuction might be useful for. Not "this is useless" but "how could this be used? I don't see a use.... :-\"

Added my vote.
