[sldev] name of an object?

[Eelke Folmer]

Hi,

How can you get the name of an object? (I just need it for debug purposes)

I got the name of an avatar by looking at the code for muting in lltoolpie.cpp.

if (object->isAvatar()) {  // avatar
	LLVOAvatar* avatar = (LLVOAvatar*)object;
	LLString name = avatar->getFullname();
}

This works but when I use the following code (which is listed below to
mute objects) to get the name of an object name:

LLSelectNode* node = gSelectMgr->getSelection()->getFirstRootNode();
if (node) name = node->mName;

it doesn't work. I have tried to call:
LLToolSelect::handleObjectSelection(object, mask, FALSE, TRUE);
gMenuHolder->setObjectSelection(gSelectMgr->getSelection());

which does make the node to be true, but still I'm not able to get the
object name.

I tried to find out why it doesn't work by trying to mute objects in
SL but I can't find any objects (except) avatars in SL that can be
muted (except when you do it manually) there is no right click mute
for objects?

Anyone have any suggestions?
