Has anyone else noticed that llKey2Name won't convert an avatar's key to a name if that avatar is offline?


Example to test the bug:
CODE

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
    }

    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        llSay(0, llKey2Name("insert your avatar key here"));
    }
}

While the avatar is online, it will convert the name. While the avatar is offline, if anyone tries to use it, it will return nothing.

n/m my bad, lsl wiki said it only works while the avatar is in the sim.

yes key2name only works if the avatar is in the same sim as the script, what you want is

llRequestAgentData()

and a subsequent dataserver event handler
