Sets the prim's name according to the name parameter.
• string | name |
Caveats
- The LL server did not reliably store more than 255 bytes of prim name. Longer prim names appeared cut short, sometimes much later than the first few calls of llSetObjectName and llGetObjectName.
- The LL client did not reliably edit more than 63 bytes. Longer prim names appeared cut short, e.g., as the name of the prim speaking in the Chat History of llOwnerSay messages.
- The LL client did not reliably show the current name. Misleadingly old names sometimes appeared at Edit > General > Name until you closed and reopened the Edit dialog of the prim.
Examples
default { state_entry() { string yyyy1mm1dd = llGetDate(); string name = yyyy1mm1dd + " " + llGetObjectName(); llOwnerSay("llSetObjectName(\"" + name + "\")"); llSetObjectName(name); } }
