This is probably really obvious, but...

At the moment the "Copy asset UUID" is not working for objects in my inventory (it always results in zeroes) and I need to find the key of an object so I can feed that to another object to follow the first object. So what script can I use to force SL to give me the UUID of the first object?

llGetKey() returns the key of the object a script is running inside of.

I was right, it was obvious :P Thank you. :)

string objectkey;

default
{
state_entry()
{
objectkey = llGetKey();
}

touch_start(integer total_number)
{
llSay(0, objectkey);
}
}

I can't see "Copy asset UUID" being of any use for an object. Any time you rez an object it is assigned a new UUID. The only things with static UUIDs are textures, notecards (well, only one revision of a notecard, any time you save a notecard it is assigned a new UUID), sounds and animations (plus people/agents and groups). You will only be able to access the UUID using "Copy asset UUID" if you have full permissions.

So on your initial issue you mentioned a following object. The two objects would need to "pair" when rezzed as the keys change. (Pairing could just be a simple handshake on an obscure channel).

Yeah just have the other object simply listen for the 1st's confirmation key on rez.

I just wrote them up real quick cuz they're pretty simple so bare with me if there's a few mistakes i'm pretty tired :/

1st object:
From: someone

default
{
on_rez(integer sp)
{
llRezObject("follow",llGetPos(),ZERO_VECTOR,ZERO_ROTATION,42);
}
object_rez(key id)
{
llWhisper(-3471283,(string)id);
}
}

2nd Object:
From: someone

key followkey;
default
{
on_rez(integer sp)
{
llResetScript();
}
state_entry()
{
llListen(-3471283,"",NULL_KEY,"";);
}
listen(integer c, string n, key id, string msg)
{
if (c == -3471283)
{
followkey = (key)msg;
}
}
}

nand got it, objects don't have keys till rezzed, all other items that you can't rez separate from an av, do.

Q: aren't object keys, per sim? meaning they get a new key upon entering a new sim?

Yes, but you can wear an object, teleport to a new sim, and drop it without having its key changed. Useful for when you want to move your precious hard-coded updater.

Now lets say you want to assign the key of a rezzed object to a variable in the origional...

Can you do that with a getkey function somewhere in the llrez_object?

Yep we were just discussing it in this thread about a door script you can see in thread #17 what I did to send and recieve the key in the rezzed object and read down further for a gotcha or two you have to watch for.
