0.0	Forced Delay

Sets the prims description

• string

desc

Caveats

• The object description is limited to 127 bytes, any string longer then that will be truncated.
• According to VWR-437 if you set the description to longer then 256 bytes the object may no longer be rezzable. Use caution if using this field to store data.
• The pipe character | is not legal in an object's description, it will be replaced by a '?'.
• According to [1] the description field will not persist on the root prim of an attached object if detached. It will persist if dropped. One workaround is to store the description in a child prim which is persisted.

Examples

<lsl>//store the owner's name in the prim description default {

   touch_start(integer total_number)
   {
       string temp;

       temp = llKey2Name(llGetOwner());

       llSetObjectDesc(temp);
   }

}</lsl>
