Usage comments

Working with large lists

LSL llHttpRequest() function has a limitation on reply size (it is being cut to 2048 bytes, or 1024 Unicode characters). If the resident has a lot of groups, they may not fit into the http reply.

There are several solutions for this problem. Use the following parameters:

  • skipnames - ignore groups which names contain this substring
  • matchnames - list only groups which names contain a specific substring
  • matchuuid - return specific group by UUID

Limits

Due to the high SL asset server load the bot's rate of this API command is limited to 5 requests per 30 seconds.

Return value

total - variable contains the total number of resident's groups. It is not affected by skip* or match* parameters.

groups - the list of groups (probably filtered by skip* and match*): a string which contains both object UUIDs and names separated by newline ("\n"):

UUID1 name of the group 1
UUID2 name of the group 2
...
