Summary

Function: llSetObjectDesc( string desc );

Sets the prims description

• string desc

Caveats

  • The object description is limited to 127 bytes, any string longer then that will be truncated. This truncation does not always happen when the attribute is set or read.
  • According to VWR-437 if you set the description to longer then 256 bytes the object may no longer be rezzable. Use caution if using this field to store data.
