Requests the Display Name of the agent identified by id. When the Display Name is available the dataserver event will be raised. The agent identified by id does not need to be in the same region or online at the time of the request.

How to use
key result = llRequestDisplayName(NULL_KEY);

Caveats

Section titled “Caveats”

  • If the request fails for any reason, there will be no error notice or dataserver event. You may use a timer to check for stale requests.

  • If you merely wish to show the agent display name in the viewer window, it may be more straightforward to use Viewer URI Name Space and avoid a dataserver event, e.g.:

    llSay(0, "secondlife:///app/agent/" + (string)id + "/displayname");
