Summary

Function: string llGetObjectDesc( );
0.0 Forced Delay
10.0 Energy

Returns a string that is the description of the prim the script is attached to

Caveats

  • The prim description is limited to 127 bytes, any string longer then that will be truncated. This truncation does not always happen when the attribute is set or read.
  • Note that when people have Hover Tips on All Objects selected in the viewer's View menu, they'll see the object description pop-up for any object under their mouse pointer. For that reason, it is good practice to only set human-friendly information in the description (e.g. keys and such).

Examples

<lsl>default {

   state_entry()
   {
       llSay(PUBLIC_CHANNEL, llGetObjectDesc() );
   }
}</lsl>
