Hi!

I'm new to scripting with LSL.

I just wanted - for exercise purposes - to display the name in 'clear text' of an avatar owning the object with that script in it. I either get this cryptic user ID key or just '0'. How do I translate the UUID into the avatar's 'real' name? Search didn't help so far... :o(

llKey2Name(llGetOwner());

Thanks!

Hm, I think I went over these already. So I must have used them the wrong way. Let me check later today on it again. -- The situation is that the object containing the script is rezzed but not attached to an avatar. It should 'print' the avatar's name when one (he/she) touches the object.

Saying the name of the "toucher". From the top of my head:

default
{
touch_start(integer num)
{
key toucher = llDetectedKey(0);
llSay(0, llKey2Name(toucher));
}
}

There is also llRequestAgentData() and the 'dataserver' event, in case the agent you are interested in is not currently around.

So, this only works within touch_start(), right? In state_entry() I just get this UUID and / or an empty string.

in state entry try this

CODE

default
{
	state_entry()
	{
		llSay(0, "I am owned by "+llKey2Name(llGetOwner()));
	}
}

Or just llSay(0, llDetectedName(0));
