Detecting avatar rezzing after teleport

[XbabylonX]

Hello,

Im trying to retrieve my username after I teleport from one position to another.

Whats the trigger in lsl to do so?

Thank you for your time!

I don't understand what you are trying to do.  Your username is always right over your head.  Just look up. If you ever forget your own name, just write

default{    touch_start(integer num)   {        llSay(0,"Hello! My name is " + llGetUsername(llGetOwner()));    }}

Saying im wearing a hud, I need its script to retrieve my username each time I land anywhere after teleporting from another place.

[Rolig Loon]

I still don't understand.  Why do you need to "retrieve" it?  It's always right with you.  You don't lose your name when you teleport.

default{    changed ( integer change )    {        if  ( change & CHANGED_TELEPORT )        {            llOwnerSay ( "My name is still " + llGetUsername( llGetOwner () ) + ", same as before teleporting!" );        }    }}

Only once you should do the work;

 

string MyName;default{    changed(integer Change){        if(CHANGED_TELEPORT & Change){            llOwnerSay(MyName + " has arrived");        }    }    state_entry(){        MyName = llKey2Name(llGetOwner());    }}

 

But mostly I posted this to say I didn't even know there was a name for "Yoda conditions"; possibly because Yoda didn't exist when I was learning.  Way to make me feel old ^^

Off the top of my head, I can think of one use for this in roleplaying a character that could don disquises at times. Like having it say:

"Bystander: Isn't that our Queen joining us?"

or

"nobody notices the new arrival"

No, MyName would never be updated that way. The idea is that one can change their User Name at any time before teleporting and you need the "announcement" to reflect that.

One is only old when they've stopped learning.

Ahhh, I see what you mean.  Wonder if it's what the OP meant?

[Rolig Loon]

That sounds like a long shot.  After all, the OP didn't ask how to retrieve a Display name, which can change.  He asked to retrieve a username, which doesn't.  llKey2Name will always give you an invariant answer.

I think it's more likely (though still a long shot) that he's concerned about amnesiac or senile avatars, who are likely to get confused in new surroundings and forget who they are.

if (change & CHANGED_TELEPORT){    llOwnerSay("Reality check ....  Your name is " + llGetUsername(llGetOwner() + " and people like to call you "       + llGetDisplayName(llGetOwner()) + ".  OK, smile.  Here they come.....");}

Face palms!

 

Yes, of course, it would be llGetDisplayName(llGetOwner()) for the usage I thought of.

 

Distinct differences between username and display name. Readers that may be lost at this point can refer to http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Usernames-and-display-names/ta-p/700173

That did the job :matte-motes-smitten:

 

 

And for gods, I dont have a problem remind to myself my username lol obviously I need to retrieve it in order to send it to my server :matte-motes-asleep-2:

 

Thank you all.

If you are sending stuff to a web server, llHTTPRequest sends that information already. It will be in the X-SecondLife-Owner-Name: header.

[XbabylonX]

Yes but I need an event to trigger this

[Cerise Sorbet]

Okay. CHANGED_TELEPORT already does that, right?

 

 

[XbabylonX]

Yes, I made some tries going from here to there and my db seemed to get the data I sent

[LepreKhaun]

always a pleasure
