New function please

I am in a project an need to detect if an object still exists. I also couldn't find a function that checks if an object was deleted or derezzed.

Can we please have that function?

since many objects share the same name you need to go by key

since you have that to search for an object, you can currently use a scanner to do the same thing, altho it has a range

Can you describe your project a bit more? As Osgeld points out, you can use a sensor, for example if you have an object creating an item you could use a script like:

default {
    state_entry() {
        llRezAtRoot("myObject", llGetPos(), ZERO_VECTOR, llGetRot(), 12345);
    }

    object_rez(key id) {
        llSensorRepeat("", id, SCRIPTED, 96.0, PI, 60.0);
    }

    sensor(integer x) {
        // Object still exists/within range
    }
    no_sensor() {
        // It's gone!
    }
}

If the object may go out of range, but you know it won't leave the simulator, then you can modify this to:

key myObjectKey = NULL_KEY;

default {
    state_entry() {
        llRezAtRoot("myObject", llGetPos(), ZERO_VECTOR, llGetRot(), 12345);
    }

    object_rez(key id) {
        myObjectKey = id;
        llSetTimerEvent(60.0);
    }

    timer() {
        if (llKey2Name(myObjectKey) == "") {
            // My object is gone!
            llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
        }
    }
}

Thanx guys, but I need to check terminals all over the grid.

Have them talk back either via XML/email then?
