At present, the user must obtain the UUID and hand enter it. For lives, the UUID can be found in-world in the Whiskers prim in the cat's linkset .. so it's hard to locate and requires special knowledge not all players have. Otherwise, and for all boxes, the only sources of the UUID is the Pedigree View page and the Local Chat text, where it's readily visible.
Placing the UUID in the Object Name field for boxes would greatly simplify both Area Search and Inventory Search when locating a specific boxes. This, too, is a user convenience feature. At present the user must find the UUID on the Pedigree View page. At present, the only way to locate a specific box is to rez all boxes and search, one-by-one by trait .. cross checking with the Pedigree View page to ensure the proper box is located. This is very time consuming and error-prone. The only reliable identifier presently available is the UUID since the box does not send name-change transactions to the server .. the Pedigree site calls all boxes "Box" (in the age area, leaving the name area blank) to matter what name the box may have in-world. That boxes could do this is proven by the fact that passing one to an ALT and rezzing it causes ownership to change on the server .. so boxes can speak, they just don't.
Posing a cat, or turning off Walk, already provides "0 meter range". But it does remind me: did they ever fix the range bugs which allowed cats to leave their assigned ranges? I don't know because we turned off Walk for all our cats long ago to prevent them leaving their range and wandering all over our sim until they went off-world and were returned to our Lost and Found.
I'm not really sure about the things you write here about finding the UUID number for the cats in the whiskers. Both live cats and boxes do give the ID number when you click info for the cat in the local chat. Did you mean this could be a way for a 3rd party scripter to build a server box?
And posing a cat or turning off walk is not 0 meter range the way I see it, as it can still breed, this is why 0 meter range is wanted so furiously from me. No mistake boxes in your shop (easier to sell a 100% love cat imo), and you wouldnt need to seperate your cats at home if they get close to breeding and you havent partnered them all.
