GetUsername

llGetUsername

Summary

Function: string llGetUsername( key id );

0.0	Forced Delay
10.0	Energy

Returns a string that is the unique username of the avatar specified by id.

• key

id

–

avatar UUID that is in the same region or is otherwise known to the region

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 username 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 llRequestUsername function and the dataserver event to obtain the avatar's username from a key.
• There is no opposite function (llUsername2Key) available. For Name2Key services see llKey2Name.

   }
   touch_start(integer a)

              "\nllGetUsername: " + llGetUsername(llDetectedKey(0)));
