Summary

Function: string llGetEnv( string name );

Returns a string with the requested data about the region.

• string name The name of the data to request

Note that the value returned is a string, you may need to cast it to an integer for use in calculations.

Entries in yellow on RC channels from 2015-04-29.

Table of valid name values.
Name Description Type to typecast to
"dynamic_pathfinding" Get the region's effective dynamic_pathfinding status, "enabled" or "disabled". This option is configured in the Region Debug Console N/A
"estate_id" Numerical index identifying which estate a region belongs to. Main grid mainland is "1" integer
"estate_name" "Estate", "Mainland", "Linden Homes", "My Happy Estate", etc. N/A
"frame_number" Get the frame number of the simulator, for example "42042". integer
"region_cpu_ratio" Get number of regions per CPU for this region type. Returns 1 or 4. integer
"region_idle" Get the region's idle status, "1" or "0". integer boolean
"region_product_name" Get the type of region this is: "mainland", "openspace" etc. N/A
"region_product_sku" Get the region's product number (as string). N/A
"region_start_time" Get the time the region was last (re)started N/A
"sim_channel" Get the region's channel string, for example "Second Life Server". N/A
"sim_version" Get the region's version number string, for example "10.11.30.215699". N/A
"simulator_hostname" Get the simhost running this region. Same as llGetSimulatorHostname but without the script delay. N/A

Examples

default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        string version = llGetEnv("sim_version");
        llOwnerSay("Region " + llGetRegionName() + " is running "
                   + llGetEnv("sim_channel") + " version " + version );

        list ver = llParseString2List(version, ["."], []);

        llOwnerSay("Build: "+llList2String(ver, 3));
        llOwnerSay("Build Date: "+llList2String(ver, 2)+"-"+llList2String(ver, 1)+"-20"+llList2String(ver, 0));
    }
}

Notes

  • Region idling lowers a region's framerate when no avatars are currently on or looking into the region. Scripts measuring time dilation with llGetRegionTimeDilation may report significant time dilation if the region is idle.
