Summary

Function: llSetObjectName( string name );
0.0 Forced Delay
10.0 Energy

Sets the prim's name according to the name parameter.

• string name

If this function is called from a child prim in a linked set, it will change the name of the child prim and not the root prim.

Caveats

  • The name is limited to 63 characters. Longer prim names appeared cut short.
  • When an attached object is detached, changes made by script to the name and description (of the root prim) of the attachment will be lost. While the object is attached the name and description can be changed but it will not be reflected in inventory. This caveat does not apply to child prims.

Examples

<lsl>default {

   state_entry()
   {
       string yyyy1mm1dd = llGetDate();
       string name = yyyy1mm1dd + " " + llGetObjectName();
       llOwnerSay("llSetObjectName(\"" + name + "\")");
       llSetObjectName(name);
   }
}</lsl>
