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>

Deep Notes
Footnotes
- ^ 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).
