How can I set owner's profile picture on a prim ? I tried but end up with nothing.

If you want to do it in script (rather than manually applying a texture) then the best way would be to find out the UUID of the texture (since you have to upload an image as a texture into SL before you can use it as a profile picture), and then apply it using llSetTexture.

If you have the texture yourself, you can right-click it in your inventory to copy the UUID to your clipboard. All you need to do then is plug it into the llSetTexture function, and that's it.

Check out this thread: /54/1b/225692/1.html

That shows the picture via particles but once you have the UUID, you could just pass that to llSetTexture to put it on a prim instead.

Thanks a lot for the replies. Here is my code, it works but maybe it can be better , any thoughs ?

From: someone

string RESIDENT_URL = "http://world.secondlife.com/resident/";
key WHITE_DEFAULT_TEXTURE = "5748decc-f629-461c-9a36-a35a221fe21f";
key nameKey;
default
{
state_entry()
{
llSetTexture(WHITE_DEFAULT_TEXTURE, 0);
nameKey = llGetOwner();
llHTTPRequest( RESIDENT_URL + (string)nameKey,[HTTP_METHOD,"GET"],"";);
}
on_rez(integer start_param)
{
llSetTexture(WHITE_DEFAULT_TEXTURE, 0);
llResetScript();
}
http_response(key request_id,integer status, list metadata, string body)
{
if (llSubStringIndex(body, "blank.jpg";) == -1)
{
integer start_of_UUID = llSubStringIndex(body,"<img alt=\"profile image\" src=\"http://secondlife.com/app/image/";) + llStringLength("<img alt=\"profile image\" src=\"http://secondlife.com/app/image/";);
integer end_of_UUID = llSubStringIndex(body,"\" class=\"parcelimg\" />";) - 3;
string profile_pic = llGetSubString(body, start_of_UUID, end_of_UUID);
llSetTexture((key)profile_pic, 0);
}
else
{
llWhisper(0, "You have no profile picture";);
llSetTexture(WHITE_DEFAULT_TEXTURE, 0);
}
}
}

Yep, see this recent thread:

/54/29/277418/1.html


EDIT: should've guessed you could scrape those profile pages for image info too. I think the Lindens should consider restricting that ability, or providing a dedicated service for the data... all this scraping must be putting a fair old load on their webserver!
