Keys return as 0000000 in a listener?

This should be very simple but...
Why do I get a return of all zero's on the detected key with this code?

From: someone
integer RegionChannel = 1005;
key ObjectOwner;
default
{
on_rez(integer start_param)
{
llResetScript();
}
state_entry()
{
llListenRemove(0);
key owner = llGetOwner();
llListen(RegionChannel,"",NULL_KEY,"";);
}
listen( integer channel, string name, key id, string message )
{
ObjectOwner = llDetectedOwner(0);
llSay(0, "Key: " + (string)ObjectOwner);//Debug Message
if(ObjectOwner != llGetOwner()){return;}

if(llToLower(message) == "kill fulcrum";)
{
llDie();
}
}
}

llDetected* functions are only designed to return valid values in sensor(), touch*(), and similar events. They are not valid in the listen() event. If you want to get the owner of something talking in that event, use llGetOwnerKey(id).

Also, I would recommend against assuming that your listener handle is always 0. There's no guarantee that the first/only listener handle is any particular value. Save it in a variable and use it in the llListenRemove() call.

Ah thanks.
Yeah this is just a test I was running so I didn't bother with handles yet.
Thanks for the info. :cool:

You could also take a look at llGetOwnerKey(id) in the listen. That may solve an issue too.
