Examples

Section titled “Examples”

Reading a value from the linkset datastore:

default {
    state_entry() {
        // Write a value first
        llLinksetDataWrite("myKey", "myValue");


        // Read it back
        string value = llLinksetDataRead("myKey");
        llSay(0, "Value: " + value);
    }
}

Checking if a key exists by testing for empty string:

default {
    state_entry() {
        string value = llLinksetDataRead("someKey");
        if (value == "") {
            llSay(0, "Key not found or is empty");
        } else {
            llSay(0, "Found: " + value);
        }
    }
}

Notes

Section titled “Notes”

The llLinksetDataRead function only reads unprotected name:value pairs. For reading protected pairs, use llLinksetDataReadProtected with the appropriate passphrase. Both functions consume 10 energy and have no sleep time.
