1.You can't attach anything to the HUD that does not belong to you.
2.The only HUD you have is 'attached' to your avatar.
(mind reading is not one of my many skills)

To finish that thought, all attachments, HUD or otherwise, can reliably use llGetOwner() to learn who attached them. LlKey2Name will get the other half.

i can't give my HUD to someone else to use or can i ??
i mean can i do this that i remain the owner but someone else also may use it. if that is possible then i need my HUD to know to whom i am attached.

Yes you can, but only by giving or selling it. Then that other avatar becomes the owner.

No, you can't attach objects you don't own.

eh, go back and read the first post... I think he means 'via scripting'...

to answer... use the attach event

CODE


attach (key id)
{
     string name = llKey2Name(id);
}

The attached event will give unsatisfying results during development, or if user configuration errors can cause crashes, and so on. Save that event for things that actually need to happen at attach/detach time. Ownership checks in state_entry and changed will give a lot fewer surprises, a check for llGetAttached in somewhere like the entry can be used as a fallback fallback for when the attach event won't be available.
