Would it be possible to enhance LSL's group related scripting functions when groups get their makeover? llSamegroup() is a useful as a chocolate teapot.

I suggest;

string llGetGroupName()
Returns a string containing the name of the calling object's group.

string llDetectedGroupName(integer x)
Returns a string containing the group name of the detected object/agent

integer llGetDeeded()
Returns whether or not the the calling object has been deeded to a group

and

key llRequestGroupData(string group_name,integer data)
To return whatever information the new groups are going to have.

Thanks for reading

As people belong to more than one group, maybe these could return a list instead of a string.

Bertha,
I was thinking of the active group, not all groups a person belongs to.

But your idea is useful as well,
list llDetectedAllGroups(integer x) perhaps?

It would be most useful for llDetectedGroupName() to return a list of all memberships.

I think you would need both.

If the first group in the list is always the active one, then you just need a single function.

I would much rather have these functions
key llDetectedGroupKey(integer x) - returns the group key of the detected object
key llGetGroup() - returns the group key of the object
key llGetGroupKey(key a) - returns the group key of object or agent in the sim.
key llRequestGroupName(key a) - returns the handle for a dataserver event.
integer llIsMemberOfGroup(key group, key user) - returns 0 = Non-Member, 1 = Member, 2 = Group Officer

to detect if an object was deeded you would just need to test
llGetOwner() == llGetGroup()

This would be perfect! :)

This requires the ability to perma reject invites from groups(and no 50 group limit) when giving a group invite have Accept, Decline, Always Decline. Any functionality that allows you to see if a person is a member of the group, while needed, will make club groups all the more aggressive in recruiting which is already annoying enough.
