Function: string llGetObjectName( );

202 Function ID
0.0 Delay
10.0 Energy

Returns a string that is the name of the prim the script is attached to.


Caveats

  • The prim name is limited to 255 bytes, any string longer than that will be truncated. This truncation does not always happen when the attribute is set or read.

Examples

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSay(PUBLIC_CHANNEL, llGetObjectName() );
    }
}

Notes

  • This function may return "(Waiting)" sometimes.

Presumably the function queries the asset server for a predetermined time and returns "(Waiting)" if that elapses. It then silently proceeds to the next instruction. A work around therefore, might be to test object name is not "(Waiting)" after calling llGetObjectName.
