Sim Corner from Name

Is is possible to get the global corner coordinates of a sim based on the name? I looked all over the wiki, and found nothing, and I don't exactly want to make ten lists full of names and coordinates for the script to search through. I want to be able to say "DaBoom, <128,128,0>" and have the script convert it to 255128,255128,0. A possibility?

Yes, though the function you need looks as if it won't be available until the 1.6 update. When that goes live (hopefully Thursday this week, last announcement I read), you'll want to use the function llRequestSimulatorData, passing it the name of the sim and the constant DATA_SIM_POS. You'll get the sim's global corner coordinates back in the dataserver event. The code ought to look something like this (pulled directly from the LSL Wiki):

key ahernStatusQuery;
key ahernPosQuery;
default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        ahernStatusQuery = llRequestSimulatorData("ahern", DATA_SIM_STATUS);
        ahernPosQuery = llRequestSimulatorData("ahern", DATA_SIM_POS);
    }
    dataserver(key queryId, string data) 
    {
        if (queryId == ahernStatusQuery) {
            ahernStatusQuery = "";
            llSay(0, "Status of Ahern: " + data);
        } else if (queryId == ahernPosQuery) {
            ahernPosQuery = "";
            llSay(0, "Ahern's position: " + data);
        }
    }
}

Given that the dataserver returns the coordinate as a string instead of a vector, you'll probably want to typecast the results to vector form so you can do useful math with them:

vector myCoordinates = (vector)data;

Thanks. I was hoping I wouldn't have to wait until that was implemented. For now I'll just have to find the coordinates with slmaps.com
