I'm asking a lot of questions..  Anyhow, llKey2Name is supposed to be able to tell you whether or not a key is in a sim. However, I've noticed that when a person leaves, it can be up to 5 minutes before it updates and gives you an empty string. What is the most efficient way of detecting whether or not a given key is in a sim? I've tried llGetObjectMass, but that also seems quite slow. Thanks. |

Logical (boring?) method  From: someone integer SameRegion(key avatar)
{
vector av_position = llList2Vector(llGetObjectDetails(avatar, [OBJECT_POS]), 0);
return ((avatar != NULL_KEY) && av_position.x >= 0.0 && av_position.x =< 256.0 && av_position.y >= 0.0 && av_position.y =< 256.0);
// returns TRUE if avatar is physically in the same region
// otherwise returns FALSE

Will this still work after llGetObjectDetails is fixed?

"fixed" is in your opinion >.> Remember I came out with that code after I saw Jay using it...
Anyway, no, it will not break, this is normal functioning.

Aw cripes, I forgot about that D:
What is it now, <0.0, 0.0, 0.0> if someone outside the region is more than 96 meters away from the scripted object?
It wouldn't feel quite right, but maybe you could replace all the >= and <= with > and <
Now I really hope someone else suggest something (:

Um, how is fixed in my opinion? o.o It was stated on lslwiki that they were going to remove the bug out of llGetObjectDetail which allowed it to detect positions of agents who left the sim. Anyway, is there another method?

llGetAgentSize is what I use for in sim av verification.

Use llGetAgentSize() if false, not an agent=D or use llGetObjectDetails |
