Case is not considered when resolving agent names.

Caveats

• This function does not operate on historical names. For historical name lookup use llRequestUserKey.

Examples

tellName2Key(string avatarName)
{
    key keyFromName = llName2Key(avatarName);
    if (keyFromName == NULL_KEY)
    {
        llSay(0, "There is no agent with the name '" + avatarName + "' currently signed onto the region.");
        return;
    }
    llSay(0, "Avatar key for name '" + avatarName + "': " + (string)keyFromName);
}

default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        tellName2Key("rider.linden");
        tellName2Key("Rider Linden");
        tellName2Key(llDetectedName(0));
    }
}
// If Rider Linden touches the object, the three lines should contain the answer c5a07167-9bbe-4944-a7b0-a9677afa134d
