I was given a cool paging program for my group, but it runs on manually inputting the long many-digit unique id number for each member. The developer of this program doesn't seem to be around any more, and no matter what I read I can't find anything about how to determine/retrieve this information.

Can anyone point me in a good direction? Thanks!

This should be in scripting tips really...

But I make a free key grabber - people touch it and it says their key and name so you can copy, and it's obvious to people what it does.

I'll try to remember to drop it on you in world, but if I forget (I'm about to dash for work) please IM me.

If it's impractical to get each avatar to register their key by touching an object or something you could use this:

If it is practical to get everyone to register, these are the things you'll need:

Moving this to scripting tips, you should find a little more help there :))

Copy and paste the following code into a script in-game and place it into a prim. Then have anyone you want to add to your paging system touch the object:

CODE


default
{
     touch_start(integer number)
     {
          llSay(0, llDetectedKey(0) + "   " + llDetectedName(0));
     }
}



The object will tell you the UUID for the avatar and their name. Copy/Past the UUID into your paging system.
