A question about llRequestAgentData

Hi all.

I have a question about llRequestAgentData. According to the lslwiki, it can get if an avatar is online. The question is, I want to use that function to get the online status of one of my friends, if he hides his online status to me(uncheck "Can see my online status", can I use that function to see the real status? I mean, if he is online, but he hides his status to me, can I see that he is online?

Thanks in advance!

Yes I believe the blocking only applies to Friend visibility, and llRequestAgentData works even for non-friended agents.

That's good. Thank you, Boss~

llRequestAgentData only works if the avatar and the script are in the same sim. If you want to find a "hiding" friend, join a group that he's in, and look at his last login, it'll show if he's online or not. Now, here's my question.. if someone is hiding from you, why would you want to bother them when they went to the trouble of hiding their status from you ?

It works only when the avatar and the object are in the same SIM? Oh, that's not good...

I don't want to bother any friends. I don't think there are any friends hiding their online status to me.

Actually, I think that might be confusing the similarly-named llGetAgentInfo() which is *very* fast but only works when the agent is in the same sim as the script (and is often used for AOs, among other things, because of its speed). llRequestAgentData() works for any agent regardless of location but is kinda piggy, because it hits the presence service--so you wouldn't want to call it directly from its own dataserver callback unless you really really had to.

You don't need a script to see if someone is online or not. Just search on the people for that avatar name and it will show you in the top right corner (Just right of the name on profile) if he/she is online. If it is online it will say Currently Online. If not there will be nothing.

I believe this is true unless the hide online status is used in the preferences settings. Can't remember the exact phrasing but I think it will hide your online status from your profile.
