Click Detection

I'm slightly new at creating scripts and I'm a little confused with this one..

Is there a way to make a script, put it in a prim, and when any avatar clicks it, it will whisper, "object has been clicked by <Avatar's name>". This way I can see who has clicked the object. Thanks.

Yes

Use the touch_start event.

Call llWhisper to print the message, and llGetDetectedName to find the name of the avatar who clicked.

Yes take a look on :
llDetectedName:

Here is a Little Script which will do what you wish without spamming out to others. We have enough chatter & noise as it is.

// script start, copy from here to bottom
key kOwner;
integer TellOwner = TRUE; // Set to FALSE to say something to the Toucher

default
{
state_entry()
{
kOwner - llGetOwner();
}

touch_start(integer total_number)
{
if(TellOwner) // This is TRUE so tell the owner
{
llInstantMessage(kOwner,llDetectedName(0)+" Touched me, I feel so Used ! ";
}
else // This is FALSE so complain to the Toucher!
{
llInstantMessage(llDetectedKey(0), "You Touched me ! Why does everyone want to do that ?";
}
}
}
// === End of Script

Yes:

default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        llWhisper( PUBLIC_CHANNEL, "object has been clicked by "+llDetectedName(0));
    }
}

Study the scripts that Dora and WhiteStar offered, and compare them to the basic "Hello, Avatar!" script that LL creates for you if you click the New Script button in inventory or on the Contents page of your Edit tool. It looks like this ...

 
default
{ 
state_entry() 
{ 
llSay(0, "Hello, Avatar!"); 
} 
touch_start(integer total_number) 
{ 
llSay(0, "Touched."); 
}
}
 

That basic script is about as simple as they come, so it's a nice place to start if you are learning to script. In fact, take a look at the tutorial at , which starts there and builds on it to help you do exactly the sort of thing you just asked about.

You might also want to visit the Linden Script Tutorial Exhibition at . Their exhibition includes good working examples and it offers Thinc book versions of tutorial materials you can take away with you for later study.
