Summary

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

Returns a string that is the name of the prim the script is attached to.

Caveats

  • The prim name is limited to 63 bytes, any string longer than that will be truncated. This truncation does not always happen when the attribute is set or read.

Examples

<lsl> default {

   state_entry()
   {
       // PUBLIC_CHANNEL has the integer value 0
       llSay(PUBLIC_CHANNEL, "This prim's name: " + llGetObjectName() );
   }

}

</lsl>

Notes

  • This function may return "(Waiting)" sometimes.

Presumably the function queries the asset server for a predetermined time and returns "(Waiting)" if that elapses. It then silently proceeds to the next instruction. A work around therefore, might be to test object name is not "(Waiting)" after calling llGetObjectName.
