GetObjectName

llGetObjectName

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.

Important: This function does not get the name of the object's rootprim, but the name of the prim containing the script. Please use llGetLinkName(LINK_ROOT); instead.

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.
• This function may return "(Waiting)" sometimes. See: #Notes

Examples

Get this prim's name	Get the root prim's name
<lsl> default { state_entry() { // PUBLIC_CHANNEL has the integer value 0 llSay(PUBLIC_CHANNEL, "This prim's name: " + llGetObjectName() ); } } </lsl>	<lsl> default { state_entry() { // PUBLIC_CHANNEL has the integer value 0 llSay(PUBLIC_CHANNEL, "Root prim's name: " + llGetLinkName(LINK_ROOT)); } } </lsl>

Notes

Erroneous "(Waiting)"

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.
