New flags for llGetObjectDetails

[Innula Zenovka]

Three new flags for llGetObjectDetails have quietly appeared in the Wiki:  OBJECT_PRIM_COUNT, OBJECT_TOTAL_INVENTORY_COUNT and (and the one I'm most interested in right now) OBJECT_REZZER_KEY, which returns the uuid of the person or object that rezzed the item.

That's going to make communications between rezzed objects and rezzers so much easier, and can also help with anti-copy precautions in objects you need to leave copy-trans.

llGetObjectDetails returns a list, of course, so you need to read key k = llList2Key(llGetObjectDetails(llGetKey(),[OBECT_REZZER_KEY]),0);    I mention that because I always forget it when I'm tired.

OK, thankyou.

I think it is on the release candidate server Le Tigre only this week

but soon :smileysurprised::smileyvery-happy:

[Rolig Loon]

Yeah, it was released to the RC channels last week. It's a start.

[arton Rotaru]

Actually all three flags are released grid wide already. :matte-motes-smile:

Yay team.

 llGetObjectDetails( key id, list params );//page def

llGetObjectDetails( key id, [ list params ] );

why is The page is written as the first example and not as it should be. Unless one knows that a list must have the [ ] others are likely not to include them. Rewrote the last sentence.

[arton Rotaru]

Square brackets aren't a requirement per se. You can also typecast something to a list like this:

list GOD = llGetObjectDetails(llGetKey(), (list)OBJECT_REZZER_KEY);

So I think that list params makes it clear enough, that the input has to be a list. No matter how you declare the list.

I was more thinking of people learning to script. Just rember the days i was banging my head trying to get the script to work only to discover days later i was supposed to puy a comma. Any how, was not being picky, just know what the stress was likie.

[arton Rotaru]

Such is life. :matte-motes-whistle:

Those who don't know how to declare a list, would just have to click the list link on the functions page. :matte-motes-smile:

That means something else altogether in conventional programming languages that permit function calls with optional arguments. For most wiki readers, that notation would be very confusing.

Innula posted the syntax in the standard format that is used throughout the wiki and in all communications from Linden Lab. The [ ] brackets are only necessary if you are defining a list in line.  If you are using a list that you have already defined elsewhere, it would be incorrect to include them in the statement.  So, it is correct to write

list Params = [OBJECT_NAME, OBJECT_POS, OBJECT_PRIM_COUNT];list results = llGetObjectDetails(llDetectedKey(0),Params);

or just

list results = llGetObjectDetails(llDetectedKey(0),[OBJECT_NAME, OBJECT_POS, OBJECT_PRIM_COUNT]);

Either one works. The important point is that the set of parameters must be a list.

 EDIT:  Well, they work if you type the list correctly.  Thanks, Innula. :smileyembarrassed:

[Innula Zenovka]

list Params = [OBJECT_NAME , OBJECT_POS, OBJECT_PRIM_COUNT];

I think.  

[Rolig Loon]

Ah.  Good point.  This is a furry brain day.  I'll go back and fix that.  Thanks.

[steph Arnott]

OK,

[Innula Zenovka]

I always make that slip, only the other way round with llRequestPermissions()

[steph Arnott]

I read thru the page, i am just sticking to the list bit,. ie [ ].  Rather than declaring al the  globals i can put all the info in one list and extract the parts needed?

ADDED, Sorry that is a stupid question, its a list,, of course i can,
