llGetLinkedPrims

would be nice to have a function that returns the number of linked prims in the object the script is in.

don't really want to have to use

integer t;
while(llGetLinkKey(t))
t++;

I agree, this would be useful, along with a function to get the number of lines in a notecard.

Here is what I use in the meantime:

integer GetNumberOfPrims() {
    // First check for the case that this is unlinked.
    if (llGetLinkNumber() == 0)
        return 1;

    // This figures out how many prims are in the set.
    // It uses a binary search.
    integer UpperBound = 256;
    integer LowerBound = 0;
    integer CurrentLink = 128;

    key LinkKey;
    integer Done = FALSE;
    while (!Done) {
        LinkKey = llGetLinkKey(CurrentLink);

        // If this is NULL_KEY, then this is not in the set (too big).
        if (LinkKey == NULL_KEY) {
            // Change our upper bound, and try a lower link.
            UpperBound = CurrentLink - 1;
        }
        else {
            // Change our lower bound, and try a higher link.
            LowerBound = CurrentLink + 1;
        }

        // Check if we have finished searching.
        if (UpperBound < LowerBound) {
            Done = TRUE;
            // See if this final test was a null key or not.
            if (LinkKey == NULL_KEY)
                CurrentLink--;
        }
        else
            CurrentLink = (UpperBound + LowerBound) / 2;
    }

    return CurrentLink;
}

Xylor, this appears to only work for a script in the object.

I'd be interested in something along the lines of the llDetected* functions used for sensors and whatnot.

Would make an accurate prim usage counting for landlords possible.

*worship*
I was thinking of using a binary search but was to lazy to code it.

*runs off with code*

I endorse this idea/feature. Would definitly come in handy.

Almost as nice would be my proposed UI change to the land window that would break down object use on a per-owner basis... With a return button for each separate player. And a profile button.

Browse list, note resident X has too many prims for their apartment, click profile, click IM, "You have 160 too many prims in use in your apartment, dude! Delete the ten 16-prim lamps or I will!!! "

I support this suggestion.

*Anything* to improve sensors.

WE STILL NEED llDetectedScale!!!!!!
