Function: string llGetObjectName( );

Returns a string that is the name of the prim the script is attached to.

Caveats
• The prim name is limited to 63 bytes, any string longer than that will be truncated. This truncation does not always happen when the attribute is set or read.

Examples

<source lang="lsl">

default {

   state_entry()
   {
       llSay(PUBLIC_CHANNEL, llGetObjectName() );
   }

} </source>


Notes

• This function may return "(Waiting)" sometimes.

Presumably the function queries the asset server for a predetermined time and returns "(Waiting)" if that elapses. It then silently proceeds to the next instruction. A work around therefore, might be to test object name is not "(Waiting)" after calling llGetObjectName.
