Does anyone know of a way to figure out if it's an object or agent?

I was figuring you could requestdata on the key, and see if it's online/offline, and i'd assume an object wouldn't return online... but, idk.

Anyone got an idea?

If you're talking about a key, I would use llGetOwnerKey and see if it returns the same key. If it does, then it's an av (I think...).

no no

lets just say i'm listening, anyone can say something. [My object is listening.] If it object says something, it'll pick it up just like if an agent said something. How can i tell if it was an object or agent.

same thing . . .

CODE

listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
{
	if (llGetOwnerKey(id) == id) //then it's an avatar
	{
		//do something
	}
	else
	{
		//it's an object so do something else
	}
}

llGetOwnerKey won't help...

The following comparison is the fastest way to do this and is on the Hacks page of the Wiki:

CODE

if(llGetAgentSize(id) != ZERO_VECTOR)
{
    //id is agent
}
else
{
   //id is not agent
}
