Is this land group-owned ?

[Innula Zenovka]

I can find out the owner's uuid easily enough, with llGetLandOwnerAt(llGetPos()), but is there a way of finding out if the uuid is that of an avatar or a group other than something like setting a timer, calling llRequestAgentData(landowner,DATA_NAME) and waiting to see if I get a reply (which I won't, of course, if it's a group)?

I don't particularly want to know what group owns it.  But I would like something that will tell me "Yes" or "No", either to the question "is it an avatar?" or "is it a group?" rather just ignoring me if the answer's "No".

I'm not sure there is anything, but I wondered if anyone else had any ideas.

Cant you check in About Land? General Tab. See if it lists a group?

[Talia Davidov]

Maybe use the wold api and try to parse the page?  Not sure that would be easier or any more reliable than the RequestAgentData

[Innula Zenovka]

I can, Carl, but my script can't.  That's the problem.

[Talia Davidov]

oops world api not wold api

world api

edit to correct another typo, not my day for typing it appears, and add link

[Innula Zenovka]

Oh, thank you Talia.  That's an idea.. I must investigate.

[Rolig Loon]

I can't get in world to try this, but can you test this way?

 

list temp = llGetParcelDetails( llGetPos(),[PARCEL_DETAILS_GROUP, PARCEL_DETAILS_OWNER]);if (llList2Key(temp,0) == llList2Key(temp,1) ){    llSay(0,"The parcel is owned by a group.");}

 Edited to add missing parentheses.  Thanks, Talia

 

[Talia Davidov]

There are a couple of missing )   in your script.  But I did test it in world and it indeed does say group owned on group owned parcel, and nothing on agent owned parcel.  Nice solution!

[Rolig Loon]

Sorry.  That's what happens when I type freehand and don't bother to compile.  :smileyembarrassed:  I'm glad it worked, though.  I'll go back and add the missing parens now.

[Innula Zenovka]

Thank you so much, Rolig and Talia.

Rolig's trick certainly seems to know when the land is group-owned, and Talia's suggestion led me to Ugleh Ulrik's SLNode - lslparsers over at SLU, which parses the body of the http_response rather nicely.

So now I've got two ways of doing something I didn't know how to do!

[PeterCanessa Oh]

And now the easy way: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlGetAgentSize

[Rolig Loon]

llGetAgentSize only works if the agent is in the sim.  Otherwise, it returns ZERO_VECTOR, which is the same response you get if the UUID is a non-agent.

[Innula Zenovka]

What Rolig said.  That was my first thought (that and llKey2Name()), but then I realised there was no way of differentiating between a landowner who isn't on the sim and one who is a group.

[PeterCanessa Oh]

I'm sure there was a simple inline way to check "Is this an avatar which I see before me, The freenis toward my hand? Come, let me slap thee. I have thee not, and yet I see thee still." and my memory was sure it was this.

[PeterCanessa Oh]

:-( I'm sure there was a simple inline way to check "Is this an avatar which I see before me, The freenis toward my hand? Come, let me slap thee. I have thee not, and yet I see thee still." and my memory was sure it was this.

I shall rummage further in the attic when I'm not as distracted.

[Innula Zenovka]

If I want to know, "is this an avatar I see before me, on the same sim as me?", then llGetAgentSize does the trick.   But my question is "does this uuid belong to an avatar, who may or may not be on the same sim as me, or may even not be online, or does it belong to a group?"
