How to get agent/AV key from name?

I'd like to IM or Email AVs from a list of their names, and found a Key2Name function, but not the reverse. How can I get the user key for a name string (or an error if the name doesn't exist)?

Thanks much!

Not possible (well, very easily...could use an outside name 2 key database that someone probably has setup but I dont know anything about that)

The only way to get someone's key is to use the Detected Functions

So basically only if an agent touches something, collides with something, or is within 96 meters so you can run a scanner....then you can get their key
