Names
From an LSL standpoint avatars can have 3 different names.
| Names: | Description | Unique | Get (in region) | Request (dataserver) | llSensor(Repeat) flags | detected events |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Display Name | The name that is displayed on the screen. | No | llGetDisplayName | llRequestDisplayName | N/A | N/A |
| Username | The name the users logs in with. | Yes | llGetUsername | llRequestUsername | AGENT_BY_USERNAME | N/A |
| Legacy Name | An interface predating Display Names. | Yes | llKey2Name | llRequestAgentData | AGENT_BY_LEGACY_NAME | llDetectedName |
| Modern | Legacy | |
|---|---|---|
| Default Display Name | "FirstName" | "FirstName LastName" |
| Username | "firstname" | "firstname.lastname" |
| Legacy Name | "FirstName Resident" | "FirstName LastName" |
Modern and Legacy Accounts
- Modern accounts are created by choosing a user name, which consists of one name (no spaces).
- Legacy accounts were created by choosing two names: first and last names. These two names are used together to form the username.
To maintain compatibility with legacy scripts (that expect two names), modern accounts are given the legacy last name "Resident".
The default value of the Display Name depends upon the type of the account. For modern accounts, it is the first part of the Legacy Name (without the space and last name "Resident"; this is the same as the Username but capitalization used at registration time is preserved). For legacy accounts, it is the full Legacy Name.
<lsl>string LegacyToUsername(string legacy) {
list name = llParseString2List(llToLower(legacy), [" "],[]);
if(llList2String(name, 1) == "resident")//it is not a legacy account.
return llList2String(name, 0);//first name is username
return llDumpList2String(name, ".");
}</lsl>
Legacy-Name Only Functions
These functions only take Legacy Names and there are no alternative functions available.
- llCollisionFilter
- llListen - likewise the listen event only has a Legacy Name parameter.
FAQs
There are a couple of FAQs that go into much more detail about this:
