llGetUsername(llDetectedKey(0)) working on attach(key id) ?

[Bull Vita]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to script an object that will say something with the Name of whom attach that object....Example:

default
{
    attach(key id)
    {
        if (id)     
        {
            llSay(0, "I have been attached!" + llGetDisplayName(llDetectedKey(0)));
        }
        else
        {
            llSay(0, "I have been detached!" + llGetDisplayName(llDetectedKey(0)));
        }
    }
}

 

But that won't work on attach....  is there a way that I can make it work?

Thanks for the help!

Yeah, the attach event doesn't bind the llDetected* values, but a common approach is to use llGetOwner() instead because an attachment is always owned by the agent to whom it's attached.

(That's not necessarily a good thing, especially because it means temp-attached objects must be transferable, but it's unlikely to change because so much depends on it now.)

llGetDisplayName(id) 

But that only works on attach. Not on 'detach'.

Instead of llGetDisplayName, you might consider using the Viewer URL Name Space.

From the wiki: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Viewer_URI_Name_Space

string Who(key id)
{
    return "secondlife:///app/agent/" + (string)id + "/inspect";
}
