Summary

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

Returns a key that is the UUID of the inventory name

• string name an item in the inventory of the prim this script is in

If item is not copy, mod, trans then the return is NULL_KEY

Caveats

  • If name is missing from the prim's inventory then an error is shouted on DEBUG_CHANNEL.
  • New empty notecards will return NULL_KEY[1]. Edit and save them to work around this.

Examples

<lsl>string item = "Default";

default {

   state_entry()
   {
       llOwnerSay("Touch to get information about \"" + item + "\".");
   }
   touch_start(integer total_number)
   {
       integer type = llGetInventoryType(item);
       integer index = llListFindList([ INVENTORY_NONE, 
           INVENTORY_TEXTURE, INVENTORY_SOUND, INVENTORY_LANDMARK, INVENTORY_CLOTHING, 
           INVENTORY_OBJECT, INVENTORY_NOTECARD, INVENTORY_SCRIPT, INVENTORY_BODYPART, 
           INVENTORY_ANIMATION, INVENTORY_GESTURE], [type]);
       string name = llList2String(["does not exist", 
           "texture", "sound", "landmark", "clothing",
           "object", "notecard", "script", "body part",
           "animation", "gesture"], index);
       llOwnerSay("Type: " + name);
       
       if(type == INVENTORY_NONE)
           return;
       
       integer owner_perms = llGetInventoryPermMask(item, MASK_OWNER);
       list perms;
       if(owner_perms & PERM_COPY)
           perms += "Copy";
       
       if(owner_perms & PERM_MODIFY)
           perms += "Modify";
       
       if(owner_perms & PERM_TRANSFER)
           perms += "Transfer";
       if(owner_perms & PERM_MOVE)
           perms += "Move";
       
       llOwnerSay("Perms: " + llList2CSV(perms));
       
integer temp = PERM_COPY

Notes

The UUID returned is that of the of asset to which the inventory item points, it is not the UUID of the inventory asset. By having the two separate multiple inventory items can point to a single asset without needing the asset be duplicated.

Deep Notes

History

The preceding version numbers are approximations.

Footnotes

  1. ^ This happens because new notecards (as inventory items) do not have an attached asset, strictly speaking they do not exist until modified (and saved).
