llSensor problems

In the script i'm attempting to write, i'm wanting to see if a specified avatar is within 10m. Only the agent name is given, not the key. The script is going in an attachment.

code segment:

search (string name2look4)
{
    string tempName;
    key tempKey;

    llSensor (name2look4, NULL_KEY, AGENT, 10, PI);
}

    sensor (integer items)
    {
        integer temp;
    
        llWhisper (0, "found: ");
        
        for (temp = 0;temp < items;temp++)
        {
            llWhisper (0, llDetectedKey (temp));
            llWhisper (0, llDetectedName (temp));
        }
    }

problem is the name and key is always a string of "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"

what am i doing wrong?

for the future use php tags, makes it ezer to read

//open php     
CODE

//close php     

edit my solution was incorrect

Consider using llOwnerSay instead of llWhisper, as it's faster and immune to eavesdropping and doesn't spam chat.

ok..that would solve the spam problem, but not the failure of llDetectedKey and llDetectedName

i ran this tru SL

search (string name2look4)
{
    string tempName;
    key tempKey;

    llSensor (name2look4, NULL_KEY, AGENT, 10, PI);
}

default
{
    state_entry(){search("");}

    sensor (integer items)
    {
        integer temp;
    
        llOwnerSay ("found: ");
        
        for (temp = 0;temp < items;temp++)
        {
            llOwnerSay ( llDetectedKey (temp));
            llOwnerSay ( llDetectedName (temp));
        }
    } 
}

and it works just fine
except for state_entry its a copy of what you posted (oh and owner say heh)

I suspect there's something else wrong in your script. Can you post the entire script please?

aye your probally passing a funky string to search() ie " " instead of "" which would make it look for everything named (space)

It's a race to find what's wrong.... and the horse can't resist a race.

Works fine when not attached, I bet. Are you testing with your own name? Works not attached, and then you attach it... then it fails.

My testing as attached to hud works fine to detect others, not myself. Probably because the sensor is using my av's center as the origin point (don't claim to know the mysteries of the detection logic when the origin == target).

search (string name2look4)
{
    llSensor(name2look4, NULL_KEY, AGENT, 10, PI);
}

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llOwnerSay("Hello, Avatar!");
    }

    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        llOwnerSay("Touched.");
        search("Jezabeth Poutine");
    }

    sensor (integer items)
    {
        integer temp;
        llOwnerSay("found:" + (string)items);

        for (temp = 0;temp < items;temp++)
        {
            llOwnerSay((string)llDetectedKey (temp));
            llOwnerSay(llDetectedName (temp));
        }
    }
}

i get the same results whether worn or not. also have tried hardcoding a name in place of name2look4 and still get the garbage

Very odd, that should work. Plus the sensor event would only be invoked if something matching your criteria has actually been detected.

Do you have a non-integer global variable called 'temp' at all? I wouldn't have thought it would compile if you had, but it might be worth checking. Try printing out the value of temp within the loop, or in fact try passing the literal value 0 to llDetectedKey() and see what comes out.

Objects cannot detect themselves. This also extends to objects attached to an avatar. An attached object can also not sense the avatar it is attached to. An object cannot detect child prims on an object.

ok..now i'm more confused than ever, but it just started working
