Can't do either via script.

From: Talarus Luan Can't do either via script. Thanks Talarus, How about scanning an area to retrieve info for all objects within certain distance? |

From: Wezza Writer Also, the title on an avatar? The floating text you see above an object can be put there using llSetText. When you see it above an avatar it is because the avatar is wearing an invisible object with the text. Use llSensor to scan for objects. |

From: Wezza Writer Yes, and I want to capture those text! llDetectedGroup and llDetectedName can do this during a collision, touch or sensor event. [EDIT] That's not quite right is it? llDetectedGroup will return the group name, not the active tag. I don't know how to do that. |

From: Wezza Writer Yes, and I want to capture those text! No can do. You need to be a member of the group to wear its tag. Of course, you can always find a friend (or an alt), pay the L$100, and create your own group. Then you can give yourself whatever tag you want, including one that is identical to another group's tag.

neither of those texts are available via script, though a modified client could grab either (and possibly pass it off to the script)
exception: if you are the one setting the objects hovertext, you can store the value when you set it
