It really depends on the application and the information you already have (or don't have) about the agent. Additionally, how far away is "local agent"? Are they potentially 500 meters distant (due to vertical distance of course)?

llDetectedPos can be used if you have the agent already interacting with your object via some event, such as a touch event. Or you could use llSensor to search them out first.

Can also use the new llGetObjectDetails() function, as it works on avatars, if you have the key already. It only works in the sim and adjacent sims for avatars (and only then if they are presently a child agent of the sim the script is in).

hi!
I have a question about llGetObjectDetails... do I have to install the RC viewer to use it? I thought the SL version referred to on the wiki was server-side, but in my viewer's editor [1.18.2(1)] it doesn't work, appears as black string? this would cut sensor chatter in scaners a ton: once acquired, track until gone... and i'm trying to make one right now  |

llGetObjectDetails was Introduced in SL 1.18.3(2), so yeah you will need to download the Release Candidate Software to use it.
