This device will automatically update your active group according to a simple list of regions & groups. You will always have the appropriate group tag, whether you are visiting you favorite RP sims, touring shops for group gifts or hopping between clubs.
Config via a simple notecard to list region/group combinations. It is possible to set a default group for all unlisted regions, and/or unset your group to "none".
The device locks itself when worn so there is no need to remember to keep it attached when changing outfits. Simply 'touch' to unlock to detach (or edit config).
Designed to be worn as a HUD, it is unobtrusive and requires no interaction so can be moved out of view (touch/edit via inventory). The script is small and lag free so you can wear it without worrying about lighting up lag meters.
*** PLEASE NOTE ***
March2019: Linden Lab & Firestorm have applied a limit for automated group changes to avoid the extra server load caused by "tag animator" devices. They are now capped to 1 per minute. Unfortunately the change impacts functionality of this device if you are TPing between sims at a rate of more than 1/minute. Travelling around the grid at a more sedate pace will be unaffected and the group changing will function normally, The device is not 'broken' but the Lindens have 'nerfed' it. I fully understand why it was done, I just wish the throttle was a little faster. Sorry, this is beyond my control.

NOTE: this device uses RLV, so it will not work with the default Linden Lab viewer, a Third Party Viewer and RLV option enabled are required.
UPDATE
Dec2016: added a tool to assist with config. Wear the object and it will report your current region name and active group, with a line ready to copy/paste into the AutoGroup hud config notecard. Existing customers please get the freebie/demo to obtain this tool
Hints & tips
~ Requires RLV, ensure that this feature is enabled in your viewer
~ Be sure to use SIM/REGION names, not PARCEL names. Copy from World Map
~ Group names can be copied from the Group Profile
~ Group UUID key can be used instead of group name
~ String comparisons in LSL are case sensitive, "SimName" is not the same as "SiMnAmE"
- Automatically set group/tag whenerver sim/region changes
- Simple notecard config
- Stays attached for outfit changes
- Lag free script - wear and forget
- Requires RLV
Very useful tool!
When you are active on SL this hud is a must have!
The only thing I regret is I did not know about it earlier.
Five big stars.
very useful
... and easy to configure.
Creator, Yasmin, is very kind!
I bought it twice and got refund after she contacted me.
There are lots who could learn from her.
Well worth every linden and more!!!
Really is a time saver at home and when you're out and about, only thing I wish for is the ability to set a default tag for when you are not a member of the sims group....
Worth It
Worth every Linden. This little device is set and forget. I can now wander to all my usual spots and not have to worry about my tag being incorrect.
Works perfectly
This is great - it just works -- it's easy to configure and does exactly what it is supposed to do. I love it ! ! !
