Checking against several groups

[Darkie Minotaur]

I'm not 100% sure, but I think we had that here not too long ago - but I can't find it :(

Is it possible to check not for one group but for a number of groups? An example: You have a gift giver that you want not only members of group A be abe to use, but also members ao group B and C.

I think there was a solution fr that, but I can't think of it - this brain is getting too old. ;)

Your best bet is to set up multiple 'servers', set the servers to the group, and use llRegionSay to check the key with the servers.

If that doesn't make sense I can explain more.

if(Groupdetected == group1 | group2 | group3){} might work...seriously, I didn't try it and you might have to use ||...but you tried this already and it is harder to do than this, right? lol. | is "or" and will work if it is one of the other.

Hey, maybe it is

if((groupdetected == group1)|(groupdetected == group2) | (groupdetected == group3)){givestuff();}

yeah, that might be it.

llDetectedGroup does not return a key. There are no functions to return a key of an agent's group. llDetectedGroup returns a boolean value denoting whether or not their key matches the objects key. llSameGroup does the same thing except it works outside of the detected events and takes a key as input.

It makes perfect sense *slaps his forehead* - as I said, brain is getting old - thx!

You can also make a fancy linkset where the child prims have different groups, but I don't think thats as useful for you.

[Darkie Minotaur]

That was my first thought - it actually would be my prefered solution if it worked reliably

[Dora Gustafson]

I think it is hard or impossible to do.
There are some new features suggested in the buck tracker/jira though.
I like the llMatchGroup() suggestion.
With this it should be straight forward to do what you want:smileyhappy:

That's a nice idea - but for the time being,the "use several objects to check several groups" option works quite well - at least in my case. The "linked set with object from different groups" only works until you take the linkset in the inventory and reez it again.

[Void Singer]

the standard method is indeed setting multiple prims to different groups, a script in each one checks if the avatar's active group matches with llSameGroup, and if any match, report back. you can link them after setting all the groups, but the groups will default to the root group if rerezzed, I can't remember if they also reset with the region or not...

but you don't have to necessarily link them, you can always just have them as separate objects if land permissions allow, and communicate by whatever method works for you, or have each one do the giving itself.
