Given a public group name, is there a way for a script to obtain the list of users in that group?

Thanks for any pointers.

If you are in the group, yes. If not - it depends upon how the group owner has it set up.

by itself... no.
search doesn't show group members, and there are no direct queries.

if you are a member you can cop the list and paste it in though.

Thanks for the replies. I also found the snippet below in the wiki, but not much else. Can you shed any light on how a script could create the list of user UUIDs? Or can this be done only manually?

From: someone
5. Communications such as instant messages cannot be sent to a group per se. Instead, what you have to do is create a list of the UUIDs of the people in that group, and loop through the list sending an instant message to each person separately;

manually, for the most part...

what's that mean? well the manual part is getting the list of names. you can then feed that list of names one at a time to the same search engine that LL uses for inworld search, (or just use w-hat.com, which is still more reliable) to get the keys of all those people.

there is an off possibility you could get it via an app/request to the viewer group object, but I think it'd need some authentication, so low odds on that (but a tweaked code viwer could do it)

Mmmm ... you can use "if same group" .
With this you can check if some avatar is in your (object)group and do stuff

llSameGroup only checks if they have the same group active. they could still be in the group and not have it active. i haven't tested it, but i'm assuming it'll always return false if the user is offline, even if they had the group active when they signed off

still needs the key, and they have to have the tag active. much easier to feed the manual list of names to w-hat.

well the manual part is getting the list of names.


Do you mean viewing the group information in SL and retyping the names by hand? I see the list of names, but copy (ctrl-C) doesn't work there. I couldn't find easy ways to script or otherwise automate any of this.

What LSL features/functions would this involve? I've been looking through the wiki reference, but couldn't find much that looks relevant.

Thanks.

i have heard of using group bots to get the list of names for you

From the group info window you double-click on a name to pop up the resident's profile. From there you can highlight and copy the name.

There is NO scripting support for what you're trying to do. Zero. Nothing. Nada. Can't be done in LSL.

You either need a bot to do it or you need to do it by hand.

that'd be because there aren't any in lsl.

it'd be in the open source project and the component access stuff... in short, much more complex and outside the context of LSL or a help thread
