LlRequestDisplayName

Looking for the current API? Open the llRequestDisplayName reference →

Wiki description

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.

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");

Examples

key owner_key;
key owner_name_query;
string owner_display_name;

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        owner_key = llGetOwner();
        owner_name_query = llRequestDisplayName(owner_key);
    }
    dataserver(key queryid, string data)
    {
        if ( owner_name_query == queryid )
        {
            owner_display_name = data;
            llSay(0, "The display name of the owner of this script : " + owner_display_name );
        }
    }
}
