Convert llRequestAgentData(id, DATA_BORN) to MM/DD/YYYY format

[Leo1452]

The wiki for this function says that this statement would return "The account creation/"born on" date as a string in an ISO 8601 format of YYYY-MM-DD," but I'm getting a string that looks like a UUID. Can someone help me with a solution to getting an agent's birth date from DATA_BORN?

Show your script. This works just fine:

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llRequestAgentData(llGetOwner(), DATA_BORN);
    }

    dataserver(key queryid, string data)
    {
        llOwnerSay(data); // Object: 2009-12-18
    }
}

Read the wiki carefully.  The function llRequestAgentData returns a key and triggers the dataserver event, which then receives and processes the request to generate the string that you were expecting.

To make Wulfie's good example even more explicit, here's a more complete example:

key kRequest;

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        kRequest = llRequestAgentData(llGetOwner(), DATA_BORN);  // The key is used to distinguish the result of this particular action
//               from other requests that may be made elsewhere in the same script
    }

    dataserver(key queryid, string data)
    {
        if (kRequest == queryid)  // When you have multiple requests, always be sure to verify which one you want to examine here
        {
            llOwnerSay(data); // Object: 2009-12-18
        }
    }
}
