llGetKey <-> on rez

Hi there,
Iwas just stumbling across sthg I do not understand. I was reading the wiki on http://www.lslwiki.net/

In the llGetKey() article it says:


In the on_rez event it says:




I have never worked with attached objects, so I guess I can figure it out by myself. Was just wondering what u experienced guys have figured out.

oh wow, one of these threads where I gonna answer my own questions.

just tried it, it seems the changed-event is triggered, but as well no new key is assigned. the object still has the old key. I tried it with the following code:

default {
state_entry() {
llOwnerSay(llGetKey());
}

on_rez(integer start_param) {
llOwnerSay("on_rez";
llOwnerSay(llGetKey());
}

changed(integer change) {
llOwnerSay("changed";
llOwnerSay(llGetKey());
}
}

So the big question is. Can I rely on the key the prim is givven on attachement? Or should I always better ask for the key after a teleport?

thx

Since attaching things like servers to transport them to new locations is considered standard practice to keep the key the same, I would say you can assume this is safe. It has something to do with those UUID's being tied to your AV as it tracks you on the grid, so as long as you don't leave the grid (logoff or crash) they should remain constant.

The only issue with teleporting comes if someone crashes on teleport, but if you utilize on_rez and changed in a similar fashion to your test, you can compensate for the resulting key change since the attachment would receive a new key everytime the on_rez fires.

thx very much for the answer

Anytime
