If you’ve ever wanted an object in Second Life that quietly but clearly tells people whether the owner is nearby, online elsewhere, or completely offline, this script does exactly that—and nothing more than it needs to.
The Owner Status Monitor LSL Script is a lightweight, always-on status indicator designed for landowners, club owners, roleplay environments, and creators who want presence awareness without drama, menus, or unnecessary load. Drop it into a prim, rez it, and it immediately starts working.
No configuration. No buttons. No setup notecards.
Here’s the thing: most “status” systems in Second Life overcomplicate a simple idea. This script doesn’t. It relies on two reliable LSL mechanisms—agent sensors and online status checks—to present clear, visual feedback in real time.
What the script actually does
The object continuously monitors the owner of the object, not a random avatar name or manually set UUID. Ownership changes? The script adapts automatically.
It displays the owner’s status using:
Object color
Floating text
There are three possible states:
1. Owner Nearby (Green)
If the owner is within 20 meters of the object, the script detects them using a repeating sensor. The object turns green and displays a welcoming message. This is ideal for clubs, private land, or RP builds where presence matters.
2. Owner Online but Not Nearby (Yellow)
If the owner is not detected nearby, the script checks whether they are online using llRequestAgentData(DATA_ONLINE). If they’re logged in elsewhere, the object switches to yellow and displays an “online but away” status.
3. Owner Offline (Red)
If the owner is not nearby and not online, the object turns red and displays an offline message. Simple, clear, and immediately understandable.
No guesswork for visitors. No false authority claims. Just honest status feedback.
Why this script is useful
This script shines in places where presence implies responsibility.
In clubs, it quietly tells guests whether the owner is around without spamming chat or IMs. On private land, it signals whether the landowner is actively present or away. In roleplay environments, it works as a believable in-world device—security console, AI core, monitoring node, or admin beacon.
Because it uses color and floating text instead of chat spam, it stays visible without being annoying.
Performance and lag considerations
The script is written to be efficient:
Sensor checks every 5 seconds
Online status checks every 30 seconds
No listeners
No dialog menus
No chat spam
No excessive timers
It runs comfortably in busy regions and doesn’t stack lag over time. Resetting the script instantly reinitializes everything.
Full permissions—what that really means
This script is sold Full Perm (Copy / Modify / Transfer).
You can:
Rename it
Modify messages
Change colors
Integrate it into larger systems
Include it in your own products
Resell it as part of a build or package
There’s no lock-in, no licensing tricks, and no external dependencies.
Customization potential
Out of the box, it’s clean and professional. With minimal edits, it can become:
A club owner presence indicator
A security system status node
A sci-fi AI “core” with visual feedback
A roleplay command terminal
A private land admin beacon
A silent “do not disturb” indicator
You can easily adjust:
Sensor range
Update intervals
Floating text messages
Colors
Transparency
Whether text is visible at all
If you know basic LSL, this script becomes a solid foundation instead of a dead-end product.
Who this script is for
Club owners
Estate managers
Roleplay sim builders
LSL learners
Product creators
Anyone who wants presence awareness without complexity
If you’re tired of scripted objects that demand clicks, menus, and instructions, this one will feel refreshing.
Who it’s not for
If you want GPS tracking, cross-region detection, or detailed activity logs—LSL simply doesn’t allow that. This script stays within what Second Life reliably supports and does it well.
Bottom line
This is a practical, honest, low-lag LSL utility that solves a real in-world problem with clarity. It doesn’t pretend to do the impossible. It does one thing—and does it right.
Drop it in. Rez it. Walk away.
It’ll quietly tell the story for you.
