Caveats

Section titled “Caveats”
  • Returns id if id is not found in the region or is not a prim.
  • Owner information becomes unavailable immediately on derez or detach. For example, if a prim chats at derez or detach time, id can be returned even inside listen events of nearby objects. SVC-5095
  • Also returns id for avatars, use llGetAgentSize instead to distinguish them from prims that do not exist.
  • Returns NULL_KEY if the id passed in is not a valid key
