How do I??

I am opening a small gallery of my rl photography... mainly for my own interests... i doubt i will ever seel much, if anything... but i wanted a space to show them. Anyway i would like each of the photographs to give a note card when an avie left clicks it.... ummm how do i do that??

There are a bunch of free "notecard giver" scripts out there. I'll drop one on you in a second. Just pop the script and desired notecard into the "Contents" of the prim that shows your photograph, and voila.

Just did a real cursory search of the Scripting Library forum, and found this...I'm sure there are more in there.

Copy, and paste into a script, and drop into your prim.

list given_to;
integer range = 50; // Range form the object in which it will give the notecard.
float rate = 5; // Rate in seconds of scan for people to give notecard too. Should increase with range.
// NOTE: the lower it is the more laggy it is so think before you put it on 0.1.

string notecard = "MyNotecard"; // The notecard to give (must be in objects inventory)

integer time_or_length = TRUE; // Defines whether it resets the list specific amount of time (which you define in
// reset_list_every) or when it reaches a certain length.
// TRUE = time
// FALSE = length
// NOTE: The reason for reseting is so it does not use alot of memory and become
// very laggy.

float reset_list_every = 600; // Time in seconds before reseting the list. Only used if time_or_length is set
// to TRUE

integer max_length = 100; // Maximum length the list can reach before reseting. Only used if time_or_length is
// set to FALSE

integer progress = TRUE; // If set to TRUE it will talk more often saying what its doing like when it resets
// the list etc. if its annoying just set it to FALSE

integer current_number = 0;

default
{
state_entry()
{
llSay(0, "Activated.";
llSensorRepeat("","","",range,PI,rate);
llListen(0, "", llGetOwner(), "";
if(time_or_length == TRUE)
{
llSetTimerEvent(reset_list_every);
}
}

sensor(integer total_number)
{
while(current_number < total_number)
{ if(llListFindList(given_to, [llDetectedKey(current_number)] != -1)
{
llGiveInventory(llDetectedKey(current_number),note card);
given_to += [llDetectedKey(current_number)];
}
}
current_number = 0;

if(time_or_length == FALSE)
{
if(llGetListLength(given_to) >= max_length)
{
if(progress)
{
llSay(0, "Reseting list...";
}

given_to = [];
}
}
}

timer()
{
if(progress)
{
llSay(0, "Reseting list...";
}

given_to = [];
}

listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
{
if(message == "help"
{
llOwnerSay("Here are a list of commands:";
llOwnerSay("help";
llOwnerSay("reset";
}

if(message == "reset"
{
given_to = [];
}
}
}

Or for a shorter version...

default
{
state_entry() {
llSetTouchText("Info";

}
touch_start(integer total_number)
{
llGiveInventory(llDetectedKey(0),llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_NOTECARD,0));
}
}


Eclectic, I just sent you a script inworld.

D'oh!!

yay!! thank you oryx!!!!

oryx,

will that give everything in the contents tab besides the script or will that give everything including the script or just give 1 object other than the script?

Just the notecard... see this line...

llGiveInventory(llDetectedKey(0),llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_NOTECARD,0));

I use it all the time to give details on an outfit for sale.

scripting newbie/idiot here

so do i have to name the notecard "INVENTORY_NOTECARD"?

No, it will give out the first notecard in the item's inventory regardless of its name.

Nope, you can name it anything, but with this simple script you should be sure to have only one notecard in the prim. Otherwise you'll never be QUITE sure which notecard will end up being given out ...
.

You could also contact Slade Pfeffer at the Riverbend Gallery.

She is doing the same thing as you and has a lovely galery space and works with several other artists displaying their pictures.

Otherwise, good luck!

Georgie

thank you
