ok.. so i made this high score board.
i use XYText 1.5
so im trying to figure this out.. its baffling
the whole score board works great.. names display properly.. im happy
but the person logs off secondlife.. and when the board updates.. their name disapears.
the key is still there.. they still get paid like they are supposed to when the time comes.
but their name will not show up as long as they are offline...
im using llKey2Name to convert the key of the person to the name of the person to show on the board
is there some kinda glitch with SL that does not allow someones name to be displayed when they are off line?

Nothing wrong there. It works as intended.
You will have to store the name of the person for your purposes.

to go more indepth, key2name only returns the avs name if they are in the sim... other methods may be more reliable for constant checks for a name, or as suggested, store the name

Yes, I've been making an online status and realised what void singer says, if agent is online or outside sim llKey2Name(agent); will return an empty string.
This is really bad and I don't understand why they make it work this way. It makes coding unclearer and not automated because you have to save the name manually into a string.

From: Kahiro Watanabe This is really bad and I don't understand why they make it work this way. It makes coding unclearer and not automated because you have to save the name manually into a string. They mostly don't want to end up storing what could virtually be a database of agent info on each sim. |
