Summary

Function: key llRequestUsername( key id );

Requests the Username of the agent identified by id. When the Username is available the dataserver event will be raised. The agent identified by id does not need to be in the same region or online at the time of the request.
Returns a handle (a key) that is used to identify the dataserver event when it is raised. If id is not the UUID of an avatar, the dataserver event is not raised.

• key id avatar UUID

Caveats

  • If you merely wish to show the agent username in the viewer window, it may be more straightforward to use Viewer URI Name Space and avoid a dataserver event, e.g.:<lsl>llSay(0, "secondlife:///app/agent/" + (string)id + "/username");</lsl>
