need example llGetObjectDesc()

I can't find a simple example on how to use this. I would like it to get a word from the description and turn it into a string. For instance, right now in a script I have something like

string name = "house";

If I want the word "house" changed I have to open the script each time but I can't have that so I want the script to pickup a word from the description and change that string.

Thanks!

string name = llGetObjectDesc();

I don't think changing the description fires any events, though. You'll either need to put this on a timer or reset the script to pick up a changed object description.

Well that seems easy...

Thanks!


edit...

Just found this:
Aside from the above, the changed() event is also not triggered:
* when changing the object's name or description.

So it wont pick up the change...bummer.

The way to do it so that an event is triggered is to use a notecard. Create a notecard 'desc' or whatever, put the info in the notecard. A changed event will trigger when the NC is edited, and you can go from there. (If (change & CHANGED_INVENTORY)

I've always found it easier to just call the function directly whenever I need the value instead of bothering with a variable at all.
