detecting the person who touches a prim

Hello,

I am trying to make a script where it checks to see if the person touching it is the owner.
If it is the owner, then it performs a function.

I am trying to not use a scan or listen. Is there anything out there that can do this?

can an avatar pass on it's key or name by touching an object?

The llDetectedKey() function will give you want.

Example code :

default
{
    touch_start(integer num_detected)
    {
        integer i;
        key owner = llGetOwner();

        for ( i = 0; i < num_detected; i++ )
         {
            if ( llDetectedKey(i) == owner )
            {
                //  put whatever you want to happen when the owner touches here
            }
        }
    }
}   

Yus. The llDetected* functions work in touch.

In your case:

touch_start(integer n)
{
    if ( llDetectedKey(0) == llGetOwner() ) // Is the first detected toucher's key the same as the owner's key?
    {
        // If yes, Do Stuff
    }
}
