Hello! I want to use llSameGroup for something but the syntax seems goofy to me. Can someone explain it better than the wiki does, maybe with an example? Thanks!

Put the following script in an object. Set the objects group to the group in question.

(Below typed from work, but you get the idea)
CODE

default()
{
    touch(integer tot_number)
    {
        if(llSameGroup(llDetectedKey(0)))
        {
            llSay(0, "You may hold me.");
            return;
         }
         else
         {
              llSay(0, "I am now impure!!  I cannot go on!");
              llDie();
          }
      }
}

Thank you Arch! I modified it a bit for use with a listen (key id instead of the detector) and it works perfect! Thanks again!

for that example you could use llDetectedGroup

but he wanted an example using llSameGroup which has a key passed to it.

So i made a quick example form work that let him see how it worked and he was able to shift it.

just wanted to point out the alternative as it's little known and rarely used.

As I read it, llDetectedGroup needs a coded group to be looked for, and that wasn't what I needed. The object is to be used by several different people so they need to be in the same group as this object to use it, and it's listen-based to boot. iiSameGroup seemed like the best alternative.

Strife, given this scenario, would llDetectedGroup be a better alternative? I'm looking at speed of execution and "lagless" solutions. I don't want my objects causing excessive lag.

Thanks to you both!
