llDetectedCreator()

I need a function that would be llDetectedCreator() and would basically be the same as llDetectedKey(), but for the creator of an object. Unless I missed something, this function does not exist. I was wondering if there is a way to make one. If not, it's okay, I'll find another way.

Any suggestions Mr. Gomez? :p

yes, so is there anything from a sensor? I am quite aware of llGetCreator, but that is for the object that a script is in, not sensor events or whatever.

Sorry Jeff, you're just too smart. ;)

Well, since the question has been clarified a bit - llDetectedOwner and llDetectedGroup are the best shots you have. You'd need the data upfront, but since avatar keys and group IDs are static, you could probably do a quick enough comparison versus known object names and avatar/group IDs.

Ahh, okay. llDetectedGroup() will help alot, thanks. However, I wouldn't mind seeing a llDetectedCreator() sometime. Should I just post this in the linden support or what?

Thanks a lot guys :D

If you have control of the other object (e.g. you are trying to detect object *you* created), you could arrange to have a script which identifies itself inresponse to a chat broadcast...
