Summary

Function: list llGetAgentList( integer scope, list options );

Requests a list of agents currently in the region, limited by the scope parameter.
Returns a list [key id0, key id1, ..., key idn] or [string error_msg] - returns avatar keys for all agents in the region limited to the area(s) specified by scope

• integer scope
AGENT_LIST_* flag specifies the selection scope
  • AGENT_LIST_PARCEL - returns only agents on the same parcel where the script is running.
  • AGENT_LIST_PARCEL_OWNER - returns only agents on any parcel in the region where the parcel owner is the same as the owner of the parcel under the scripted object.
  • AGENT_LIST_REGION - returns any/all agents in the region.
• list options Unused.

Caveats

  • There is no guaranteed understandable order or randomness to the list returned.
  • Will only return up to 100 agents.
  • Ghosts, agents that leave behind a corrupted presence and agents in God Mode depending on the level will have NULL_KEY returned instead of their real key with llGetAgentList(). There is also an issue with a certain type of ghosted agent still returning a key too. Perhaps check each key against llGetAgentSize() to verify if they're really in the sim or not; none of the above anomalies affect llGetAgentSize().

Examples

KBcaution.png Important: To check if an avatar is in the same sim, please check whether llGetAgentSize does NOT return ZERO_VECTOR. It's much faster and easier than calling llGetAgentList and running through the list to compare a given key with each list item.
KBcaution.png Important: As of now, this function does not have a delimiter for its option list. This means, the function MIGHT return up to a hundred avatar keys. You'll need a lot of free memory to be able to store those keys, be warned of possible STACK_HEAP_COLLISION_ERRORs.
//Displays up to 100 avatar key: name pairs detected in the entire region

default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {

        integer numOfAvatars = llGetListLength(avatarsInRegion);

        // if no avatars, abort avatar listing process and give a short notice
        if (!numOfAvatars)
        {
            llOwnerSay("No avatars found within the region!");
            return;
        }

//  Orders new list based on distance
