llSameGroup between object and land?

Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out how to make an object that will die when the land its on changes groups or owners.

IE: if my group sells a piece of land, you now buy it, the advertising I put on it dies because its no longer for sale.

Would llSameGroup work in this matter? Or is there an easier way to test if the land is for sale still?

Thanks,

Kat.

I'd run http://secondlife.com/badgeo/wakka.php?wakka=llGetLandOwnerAt once in state entry to store your land owner key in a global . . then run a timer every 10 min or so that compares llGetLandOwnerAt to the stored key . . . if different then llDie.

In short doesn't check to see if the group is not what the prim is set at but rather look for owner changes instead.

Ok, thanks for the suggestion!

This may or may not work with group deeded land...

(Most likely, "wont" - I've tried using llGetLandOwnerAt() to restrict a roaming object from going beyond my land, and the function returns null (not NULL_KEY) when over group land...)

Hrmm . . . if I could get into game right now I'd test . . . if anyone beats me to it please update wiki with results http://secondlife.com/badgeo/wakka.php?wakka=llGetLandOwnerAt

Well, I know for a fact that it doesn't work (and it's in the Wiki). However, during testing, the land would occationally show up as the actual owner (in my case, the sim owner), even though the land was deeded to me...

Ok I just tested and it works as stated in wiki (ie you get a key but not necessarily an AV key, presumably the group key) when over group owned land. (tested in about 5 different sims, various locations on the mainland.


I would wonder how land could be deeded to you and have a different actual owner, was this an island? As for the wiki my interpretation of the words on that page is what I've just seen in my tests. Can you give more details on when/where/why it fails? or at least two out of three so I can figure out what's going on?

Here is the code for a land report which I have been using for the past year.

integer interval = 15;

default
{
    on_rez(integer num)
    {
        llResetScript();
    }
    state_entry()
    {
        llSetTimerEvent(interval);
        llInstantMessage(llGetOwner(), "Getting Sim Name");
        llSetObjectName(llGetRegionName());
        llInstantMessage (llGetOwner(), "Renamed");
    }

    timer()
    {
        key ownerKey = llGetOwner();
        vector currentPos = llGetPos();
        if (llGetLandOwnerAt(llGetPos()) == ownerKey);
        else  {
        llInstantMessage(llGetOwner(), ((string)currentPos) + " Land sold. " + llKey2Name(llGetLandOwnerAt(llGetPos())));
        llDie();    }
    }
}

This sounds like it was tailor-made for llOverMyLand().

The test I did, with my steam-powered butler automata, was trying to use llGetLandOwnerAt() to determine if it was about to walk off my land, so that it could turn, etc...

I found out that most of the time, llGetLandOwnerAt() returned the group key (completely useless in my case, since there's nothing you really can do with it), however occcationally the function would return the AV key of the gentleman owning the sim (island) that my parcel is in.
