How to use Asset UUID

[Idoru Kiyori]

Hello!

Does anyone know if you can display a texture, or even just view it, by using the asset UUID?

Yep, you can display any texture for which you have the UUID. Go somewhere you can rez and create a cube, then go to the Texture tab of the edit window, click the Texture icon and then enter the UUID into the texture window text box.

That's probably a third party viewer thing.  LL's viewer doesn't seem to be doing that for me.

Oooh, you're  right. I use Firestorm, which you can find here...

Looks like you can use a script.  For example, put the UUID in the Description of a prims then drop this script in it.

string DESCRIPTION;
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        DESCRIPTION = llGetObjectDesc();
        llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE,PRIM_TYPE_BOX,0,<0.0,1.0,0.0>,0.0,ZERO_VECTOR,<1.0,1.0,0.0>,ZERO_VECTOR,PRIM_TEXTURE,0,DESCRIPTION,<1.0,1.0,0.0>,ZERO_VECTOR,0.0]);
        llRemoveInventory(llGetScriptName());
    }
}

No thanks, for me!  Idorue might want it though, so thanks.

default
{
  
     touch_start(integer total_number)
    {

            llSetTexture("<key here>", ALL_SIDES);
    }
}

This also works.
