llGetlinkDesc would be handy

[conrad Evanier]

Hello all, im creating a script that i need to get info from the root prim description, i have done this with the name using llGetLInkName  which is great but i would prefer it to be the description so the name of the object dosnt have to change is it possible? why isnt there llGetLinkDesc lol  this script gos in a child prim .

[Acheron Gloom]

llGetLinkPrimitiveParams(LINK_NUM, [PRIM_DESC]);

llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_NUM, [PRIM_DESC, STRING_VALUE]);

 llDumpList2String([llGetLinkName(LINK_ROOT), llList2String(llGetLinkPrimitiveParams(LINK_ROOT, [PRIM_DESC]), 0)],"");
 ok this works for getting a key thats added to root desription, llGetLinkDesc would be much nicer tho lmao thanks for pointing me in the right direction Acheron:)

Nope sorry lol that still gets the name as well.

 This is the right version and its dose just as i need il put it here incase anyone else is searching for this,

partner =  llList2String(llGetLinkPrimitiveParams(LINK_ROOT, [PRIM_DESC]),0);

 this makes a nice easy way to drop a partner or friends key in to a linked object so they can get menus from a child prim

save yourself a variable and a function call and use a string cast instead of list2string. it'ts not prefect for numerical data types but should be perfectly fine for string types.

Ah yes thanks Void i was over complicating that a bit gona go and sort that out now ty.
