Summary

Function: key llRequestInventoryData( string name );
1.0 Forced Delay
10.0 Energy

Requests data about the item name in the prim's inventory. When data is available the dataserver event will be raised.
Returns the handle (a key) that is used to identify the dataserver event when it is raised.

• string name an item in the inventory of the prim this script is in

name's Inventory Type dataserver Description
Landmark (vector) The vector data received by dataserver is a global position as an offset from the current region's origin (<0,0,0>). To obtain the absolute global position of a landmark, add llGetRegionCorner() to the vector.

Caveats

  • This function causes the script to sleep for 1.0 seconds.
  • If name is missing from the prim's inventory then an error is shouted on DEBUG_CHANNEL.

Examples

<lsl>//-- Open map for owner to 1st landmark in object inventory on touch //-- *MUST* be in an attached object (llMapDestination Requirement for non-touch use) key vgKeyOwner;

default {

 touch_start( integer vIntNull )
 {
   if (llDetectedKey( 0 ) == vgKeyOwner)
   {
     integer vIntLMcount = llGetInventoryNumber( INVENTORY_LANDMARK );
      //-- make sure we have a landmark in invetory
     if (vIntLMcount)
     {
       llRequestInventoryData( llGetInventoryName( INVENTORY_LANDMARK, 0 ) );
     }
   }
 }
 dataserver( key vKeyNull, string vStrData )
 {
    //-- because we don't know who touched us in this event, this
    //-- only works for the owner when called from the dataserver
   llMapDestination( llGetRegionName(), (vector)vStrData, ZERO_VECTOR );
 }
 on_rez( integer vIntNull )
 {
   llResetScript();
 }
 state_entry()
 {
   vgKeyOwner = llGetOwner();
 }
