[Help wanted] Basic script needed

[Katherine Heartsong]

Newbie looking for a simple script to attach to an object on my property ... basically ...

If person is nearby (within say 5m) is a member of group XYZ, then activate group XYZ for that person if it is not activated already.

Would anyone be kind enough to show this newbie how to do that?

You can't change someone's active group with a LSL script.  Sorry.  The person will have to do it herself.  The best you can do is send a friendly reminder.

Ah, okay, thank you!

Using RLV you can set someone's active group, though for that to work they first have to have RLV active in their viewer. Not all viewers support RLV, and for many (probably most, and possibly all) of those that do it is disabled by default, and has to be deliberately enabled by the user.

If you're planning to attach an object to an avatar when they enter your land that object can issue the RLV command to set the group. RLV can't determine directly whether a user is a member of a particular group, but it can attempt to set the group and the script can then test to see if it's been successful.

There is a way with LSL, though, sort of

llList2Key(llGetObjectDetails(llList2Key(llGetAttachedList(kAvatar),0),[OBJECT_GROUP]),0);

That reads the UUID of the first attachment it finds on kAvatar, and then reads the group to which that attachment is set, which should be the avatar's active group, too.    You can then compare it with that of the group in which you're interested  (that's assuming you can't call llSameGroup(kAvatar) or  llDetectedGroup(0), which you ,of course, know but others might not).
