llGetDisplayName

Summary

Function: string llGetDisplayName( key id );

0.0	Forced Delay
10.0	Energy

Returns a string that is the non-unique display name of the avatar specified by id.

• key

id

id must specify a valid avatar key, present in or otherwise known to the sim in which the script is running, otherwise an empty string is returned. This function will still return a valid display name if the avatar is a child agent of the sim (i.e., in an adjacent sim, but presently able to see into the one the script is in), or for a short period after the avatar leaves the sim (specifically, when the client completely disconnects from the sim, either as a main or child agent).

Caveats

• To get around the "avatar must be present" limitation, you can use the llRequestDisplayName function and the dataserver event to obtain the avatar's display name from a key.
• There is no opposite function (llDisplayName2Key) available since display names are non-unique
