Summary

Function: list llGetAgentList( integer scope, list options );

Requests a list of agents currently in the region, limited by the scope parameter.
Returns a list [key id0, key id1, ..., key idn] or [string error_msg] - returns avatar keys for all agents in the region limited to the area(s) specified by scope

• integer scope
AGENT_LIST_* flag specifies the selection scope
  • AGENT_LIST_PARCEL - returns only agents on the same parcel where the script is running.
  • AGENT_LIST_PARCEL_OWNER - returns only agents on any parcel in the region where the parcel owner is the same as the owner of the parcel under the scripted object.
  • AGENT_LIST_REGION - returns any/all agents in the region.
• list options Unused.

Caveats

  • There is no guaranteed understandable order or randomness to the list returned.
  • Will only return up to 100 agents.

Examples

KBcaution.png Important: To check if an avatar is in the same sim, please check whether llGetAgentSize does NOT return ZERO_VECTOR. It's much faster and easier than calling llGetAgentList and running through the list to compare a given key with each list item.
KBcaution.png Important: As of now, this function does not have a delimiter for its option list. This means, the function MIGHT return up to a hundred avatar keys. You'll need a lot of free memory to be able to store those keys, be warned of possible STACK_HEAP_COLLISION_ERRORs.

<lsl> //Displays up to 100 avatar key: name pairs detected in the entire region

   touch_start(integer total_number)
   {
       list avatarsInRegion = llGetAgentList(AGENT_LIST_REGION, []);
       integer numOfAvatars = llGetListLength(avatarsInRegion);
       // if no avatars, abort avatar listing process and give a short notice
       if (!numOfAvatars)
       {
           // PUBLIC_CHANNEL has the integer value 0
           llSay(PUBLIC_CHANNEL, "No avatars found within the region!");
           return;
