is it possible to detect the creator of an object, either name or key?

There is the llGetCreator() function, which will get the key of the creator of the object the script is running from, but I don't believe there is a llDetectedCreator() function.

so I take that there's no way for a script to figure out the creator of another object?

From: Scott Tureaud so I take that there's no way for a script to figure out the creator of another object? Not to my knowledge, unless that other object is in the Inventory of the first object (in which case, llGetInventoryCreator). |

Nope, unfortunately, there is no way to get the creator of another rezzed object via script, much to my chagrine. We need a llGetCreatorKey() analogue of llGetOwnerKey().

you could simplify encryption on many 'toy' systems with such a function. and save some scripting resources from it.

If I'm reading between the lines correctly, such encryption could be compromised if that Creator had ever distributed any object with Modify perm. But then, not sure how secure the 'toy' needs to be... and anyway, since the function doesn't exist, I guess the toys are safe.  |

yep it'd be great for smaller items that aren't important(just need basic obscurity), or where efficiency is much more so. or whether or not you should go through some extensive validation for object interactions(pets, scripted combat)
