SetObjectName

llSetObjectName

Summary

Function: llSetObjectName( string name );

0.0	Forced Delay
10.0	Energy

Sets the prim's name according to the name parameter.

• string

name

If this function is called from a child prim in a linked set, it will change the name of the child prim and not the root prim.

Caveats

• The name is limited to 63 characters. Longer prim names are cut short.
• Names can only consist of the 95 printable characters found in the  ASCII-7 (non-extended) character set.
  • Non-ASCII characters will be replaced with two question marks ("??").
• While an object is attached, the script cannot change the name of the object as it appears in the user's inventory.^[1]
  • Changes to the name of the root prim (with llSetObjectName for example) will not be saved to inventory; when the attachment is detached (to inventory, not dropped) this name change is discarded and the name in inventory is used instead.
  • When attachment is dropped (to the ground) and taking it into inventory, the inventory item will have the new name (not the old).
• Changes to the names of child prims will be saved back to inventory when the object is detached to inventory. They survive detachment.

Examples

<lsl>default {

   state_entry()
   {
       string yyyy1mm1dd = llGetDate();
       string name = yyyy1mm1dd + " " + llGetObjectName();
       llOwnerSay("llSetObjectName(\"" + name + "\")");
       llSetObjectName(name);
   }

}</lsl>

1. ^ Whether or not this is a bug is still debated, regardless LL has said they will not fix it. This behavior was first recognized as a pain point in 2006 and only confirmed to be lava-flowed more recently (2011).
