![]() ![]() It merely gives you their name.Īny payment will have an IM with the avatar's UUID in it, or it will be on the rental box. That is, it's just a matter of looking in a list where they will appear with their real system name, not their display name.īut once again, I have to point out, this script DOES NOT connect you to them. Mar may feel she has an answer to her question, which may merely be about taking the key off a rental box to then find the person in a group they have joined. The script will say the name you are looking for in chat. Then replace the word llGetOwner() that's in the spot that says llRequestUsername( llGetOwner()) with the UUID that you're interested in, like so: A script has to be in an object in world to run. Or finding the UR-key with changed names. It's not about finding new versions of names. Or it is in a very long list of returns (such as is the case with many search terms now with broken search).Īn avatar key cannot pull up an IM box to IM them. Either because the person has hidden their name. Because the whole problem is you have this name that does not turn up a search result. But you need a script to *use that avatar key and pull up an IM box*. The problem is that when you have an avatar key, there is no way to search for it. Then the OP could contact the person to tell them that they are finally at the top of the wait list for whatever.Ī search on the Key will not pull up a name for IM, but the scripting function will give a name which can then be used to IM the person. The OP could however use the scripting function to get the key associated with that old name and then use the other scripting function to get the new/current name associated with that key. If someone left the OP a notecard last month to get on a wait list for something - as mentioned in the OP - and by the time that person's name come up for availability the avatar had changed their name, then when the OP looks for that person, the name cannot be found (even if Search was working properly). Perhaps someone will find a way to pull up avatars by their keys - their keys go on to rental boxes to enable them to get a refund, so you can get the key either from the rental box or their chat or payment to you as well, it is in a chat message that comes to you - you don't even need a device to find it. It's very frustrating and I run into this several times a day. If someone has hidden themselves from search, and hasn't joined the group, and you search for the name and find 5000 returns - as you do now, with broken search on the regular SL viewer - you simply can't find them to tell them to join the group to prevent prim returns. When you do it, you turn up an odd grab-bag of responses that are merely avatars who might have some of the sequences of letters in the key - but not that exact avatar.īecause of broken search, this problem identified by Mar has now escalated. It's been blocked or deprecated or whatever - it does not work. I believe there was a time when plugging the avatar key into the regular people search turned up their profile. There are likely other use cases, but searching with it is not one of them. ![]() This is useful in copyright protection scripts, for example. There is a scripted device that gives you the avatar key for anyone in SL. The problem with all of this is that it doesn't matter if you get the avatar key - you can't use the avatar key to search with. NOTE that it is based on avatar username / legacy-name - not the 'Display Name' If the user has changed their name over time, you'll have to keep track of mapping back to original names yourself. The function llName2Key will do the opposite - give the Key/UUID for a Name. It will not give you all of their pervious names - only the current name. If you know the UUID, then you can get the Avatar's current name using the scripting function llKey2Name ( ). So my question is, can I search for Avatars using their key? Or what is the best way to keep track of customers so that you can communicate with them, later? The whole avatar name thing seems very confusing. ![]() Then later when I go to search for them to communicate with them using the normal SL search tools, I can't find them, or 20 avatars have a similar name. People often leave me note cards to get on a wait list, or I receive payment or donation in SL Accounts page, or they rent from me and a certain name shows up in Casper Rent but their profile shows something different. ![]()
