When creating a listener, is it better to use either a name or a key, or both, when the subject is a single avatar?
llListen (channel, owner_name, owner_key, ""  ;//or llListen (channel, "", owner_key, "" ;//or llListen (channel, owner_name, NULL_KEY, "" ;//? (Edit) It's occurred to me that using just a name could be subject to interference from similarly named objects, so it'd probably be best to avoid that option when possible. |

Yep - it's definitely better to filter as much as you can. Anything that tells the sim that it doesn't need to run your script is goodness, especially on frequently-used channels like 0 or even 1-10..
If you filter by llGetOwner(), make sure to watch for owner changed events and reset the script or redo the listen so you pick up the new owner. Also, if you filter by llGetOwner, you won't be able to hear objects owned by the the objects owner, which is a bit of a drag.. _____________________
