Is there a way to check to see if an item exists without going through a loop seaching for the item name in inventory?


I know about llGetInventoryKey() but you need full permissions and also llGetInventoryCreator() but if item does not exist it will return a NULL_KEY and also the same when item says it's created by nobody.

Why not filter your search....makes it a lil easier.. if you are looking for a script.. uncheck all the other boxes and leave the script one checked. The search will only return your desired query.

They mean inside an item's inventory, and via a script.

May have a solution for my question, it seems to work so far. Let me know if I'm missing something....

CODE
string objectname = "Object";  // NAME OF OBJECT

integer CheckInventory(string item)  //RETURNS TRUE IF IN INVENTORY
{
    if (llGetInventoryPermMask(item, MASK_OWNER) != 0) return TRUE;   //PERM MASK WILL OUTPUT 0 AND ERROR MESSAGE IF NOT IN INVENTORY
    else return FALSE;
}


default
{
    touch_start(integer num_detected)
    {
        if (CheckInventory(objectname)) llSay(0, objectname + " is in inventory.");
        else llSay(0, objectname + " is not in inventory.");
    }
}

quicker if...
CODE

integer CheckInventory(string item)  //RETURNS TRUE IF IN INVENTORY
{
    return(llGetInventoryPermMask(item, MASK_OWNER) != 0);
}


in 1.7 we have been promised llGetInventoryType which won't display an error when passed non existant inventory.
