Getting an Event at Login and Logout

Hi, folks.
I'd like to create an attachment that generates an event when the wearer logs into Second Life and when they log out. Is there a way to do this?

I searched the wiki and found ways to trap for teleportation and region changes, but nothing about login/logout.

Thanks for any help.

You can poll an llRequestAgentData() on an object and get an online/offline switch. Unfortunately, this event doesn't work on your attachment idea as it wouldn't be able to poll itself when offline.

You could also run a polling that simply tracks a timestamp...the problem is that logoff wouldn't be recognized (again)...but login would be recognized by time-difference in the timestamp beyond your polling rate.

Finally, you could attempt to run it through the "attach" event...as attachments are attached on login...but running detach information (attach key = NULL_KEY) on logout is unreliable at best.

So...umm...I guess the answer is no.

You can also try llKey2Name which only returns the name of an agent if that agent is online and - I believe - in the same region...

Thanks for the advice, folks. I decided to make a non-attached object that uses llRequestAgentData to poll at a regular interval for the presence of all the folks I'm tracking. Not ideal, but it should work for my purposes.

I had thought that either the on_rez or attach events were triggered on logon...don't remember now.

Should work to just use on_rez

on_rez works for logon, but not reliably enough for logoff. The logon isn't a problem, it's the logoff that is.

i gone look at my codes how i did that when i get home from work.
i have that on one of my products.
