LlDetectedName

Returns a string that is the name of the detected item.

item does not support negative indexes. Returns NULL_KEY if item is not valid.
If the item detected is an avatar then the legacy name is returned.

llDetected* functions only work if called from within Detection events (collision, collision_start, collision_end, sensor, touch, touch_start, touch_end) or in functions called by Detection events. They will fail silently and return unusable values if called during other events.

default
{
    touch_start(integer num_detected)
    {
        key id = llDetectedKey(0);
 
        // legacy name, i.e. "John Doe" or if lastname Resident "John Resident"
        string name = llDetectedName(0);
 
        // PUBLIC_CHANNEL has the integer value 0
        llSay(PUBLIC_CHANNEL,
            "The avatar with the key'" + (string)id + "' is named '" + name + "'.");
    }
}
