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
Works Well
I like this group changer HUD and I am giving it 5 stars but I am obligated by my oath of fealty to freedom to request the script be made open source so we can examine the code, learn from it, and contribute to its improvement. Nobody is making much here at L$50 a pop so why not share? Also, thanks for a well scripted and useful HUD, I really get tired of digging through my groups every time I need to change tags.
Works great
While I would prefer not to add another script to my avatar, this works exactly like I need it to. Comes with another hud to help you get the region name correctly, too. Well one.
It WORKS.
This is a no bells and whistles HUD (mod) and script (nomod). Turn RLV on. You edit a notecard to put the region name and the group you want to change to when you arrive, and then the thing just works. You don't have to remember to do a thing - other than give it new groups/regions as needed. One of my must-have HUDs.
Great Product!
This is a HUD not a script. The HUD is editable but the script is obviously not.
Do not buy if you are looking for a modifiable script!
Is still an awesome and useful product.
Already saved me a punishment.
OK, I am Slave in SL and I must wear the correct group tag.
Well now I always will.
Also helps with shopping etc, so for me, like many others PERFECT. Thanks
Great awesome tool, but
Great awesome tool, but a couple of sims it won't change to the group assigned, and one sim it puts the wrong group, it's a god send if I have to pop back and forth sims to rezz stuff
