llSameGroup Question

Ok, anyone used the llSameGroup command? I would like to add it to a gadget so that the gadget (when worn) will only work when the person wearing it is in the correct group.

However, the problems start with the fact I can't control the person from changing the group of the item, so, what I was thinking was getting the group key and hard coding it into the script and then checking against that. But, I can't figure out HOW to get the stupid group key of a group. So, instead of beating my head against a wall, was hoping someone here would have a solution.

Thanks.

make a script that spouts out llGetOwner Info when touched, and then deed it to the group

key GroupKey = "0f1641a1-6827-8480-0737-e2aaa2636236";
string GroupMemberName = "Live Helper";
string GroupName = "Live Help";

default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        if(llSameGroup(llGetKey()) == llSameGroup(GroupKey))
        {
            if(llSameGroup(llDetectedKey(0)))
            {
                llSay(0,"Hello, " + GroupMemberName + " " + llKey2Name(llDetectedKey(0)));
            }
            else
            {
                llSay(0,"You must be a member of " + GroupName);
            }
        }
        else
        {
            llSay(0,"I am not set to the correct group, " + GroupName);
        }
    }
}

If you are in the group, you can find it here , click one of the links for the name and it will be the list of characters at the end after group=.

If you are not a group member and they have land somewhere, you can use llGetLandOwnerAt over their group owned land to get the key. Hope this helps.

Doh. I guess it was a brain cramp, thanks, should have thought of that. Much appreciated!

No problem .

I'm confused... what's this line supposed to do...?

llSameGroup will return TRUE if passed the key of the group itself. So if you get a TRUE for the llGetKey(), which you will always get, and a TRUE for the hardcoded key, then that means that the hardcoded group key is also the group key of the object. If you get a FALSE for the hardcoded key, then you will move into the other else statement, because TRUE != FALSE. Hope that helps make it a bit more clear.

To make it even more simple:

llSameGroup can only return TRUE or FALSE, so you have to test both keys before hand and then compare the llSameGroup results.

That makes no sense to me. An object is always a member of the group it's set to. llSameGroup(llGetKey()) should *always* return true.

llSameGroup(GroupKey) should be sufficient by it's lonesome, should it not?

Yea, you are right. I seem to always do at least one redundancy per script.

Ok, now you have *me* confused...

The following would work, right?

key group = "12345-12345-12345"; //nottarealkey
  if (llSameGroup(avKey_id) == llSameGroup(group)) {
  	true_so_dothis;
  } else {
  	false_so_dothis;
  }

Which, should check the AVie's current set group and compare against the hard-coded key...

You're using == to compare two boolean values. If they're both FALSE then true_so_do_this is called.
