Function notes

Returns an empty key if number does not relate to a valid sensed object

Examples

default
{
    collision_start(integer num_detected)
    {
        string output =
            "\nkey of colliding object's owner ... or the colliding avatar: " + (string)llDetectedOwner(0)
            + "\nkey of this object's owner: " + (string)llGetOwner()
            + "\nname of colliding object/avatar: " + llDetectedName(0)
            + "\nkey of colliding object/avatar: " + (string)llDetectedKey(0)
            + "\nkey of the prim containing this script: " + (string)llGetKey()
            + "\nkey of this object's root prim: " + (string)llGetLinkKey(LINK_ROOT);        
        llSay(0, output);
    }
}

Notes

If the detected type is an avatar the key of that avatar is returned. Avatars are owned by themselves. llGetOwnerKey works the same way with regards to avatar UUIDs.

llGetOwnerKey — llGetOwnerKey(llDetectedKey(number)) is the same as llDetectedOwner(number) only if the detected object is in the same region.
