Summary
Function: string llGetObjectName( );| 202 | Function ID |
| 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.
