why did you break llGetOwnerKey() ???

I am posting here because there was not enough room in my bug report to put the full details.

I am also posting here because I do have a question ... WHEN will it get fixed. This bug has caused me half a week of investigation!

Here is the bug report complete as I could not post it complete in the bug report tool:

---------------------------------


Steps to reproduce the bug:
Have an object A you own rez another object B. Have the rezzed oject B cross sim boundaries.

Observed results:
Call llGetOwnerKey( B ) in the original sim. It reports you as the owner ... this is correct.

Call llGetOwnerKey( B ) in the second sim (the one it crossed into) ... in the second sim it reports the owner ID as the object that rezzed it ... it repots A as the owner. This is WRONG, an object can NOT own another object. Furthermore it has taken me several days and countless hours to determine this is what broke my multi sim enabled multi player games. I have a line of code that says

if (llGetOwnerKey(id) == llGetOwner())

inside of a listen to insure it is an object I own transmitting to the object that is listening but since the object that is listening has crossed a sim boundary llGetOwnerKey() is erroneously giving the wrong id.

Expected results:

I would expect the rezzed object that crossed a sim boundary to correctly report the owner of id as the person who actually owns it!

THIS WORKED BEFORE WEDENSDAY'S UPDATE

My question is ... WHEN will this be fixed?

Thanks for the details, Chilly. I'm not sure about this--let me check.

I believe you are incorrectly using llGetOwnerKey. It only returns the owning agent if the agent is in the region. In my tests I was not able to reproduce an unexpected result. Please see:
