[Opensim-users] User Key of a NPC; something changed

[Garmin Kawaguichi]

There is something changed about the user key transmitted to an attachment 
when it concerns a NPC.
The change is between ca9a054  2011/08/31 and 5521929  2011/09/07

Before in a script in an attachment, llGetOwner() returned the key of the 
NPC.
Now llGetOwner() returns the key of the creator of the attachment and of the 
script inside.

This is the test:
- I'm connected as Garmin Kawaguichi and I have the key 
e0f01712-6779-4474-9b55-d5073daf28c6.
- This is the first instruction of the script inside the attachment:
llSay(0, "I'm " + llKey2Name(llGetOwner()) + " and I have the key " + 
(string)llGetOwner());
The model with the attachment is saved with osOwnerSaveAppearance as 
NPCTest.
- The NPC is created with kNpc = osNpcCreate(sAvName, "Clone" + (string)i, 
<fX, fY, vPos.z + 2.5>, sAvName);

- With OpenSim 16638/ca9a054  2011/08/31
I'm NpcTest Clone1 and I have the key 615542f0-69ec-4810-8da2-24128db35702

- With OpenSim 16675/5521929  2011/09/07
I'm Garmin Kawaguichi and I have the key 
e0f01712-6779-4474-9b55-d5073daf28c6

Is it a bug and then ===>> Mantis or this is wanted by the development ?

Is there another way to know the NPC key (from an attachment) because 
without this key it is difficult to give autonomy to the NPC by script. For 
example when I want to give animation to the NPC, it's my avatar that is 
animated :)
