But objects can email each other, right? I haven't seen code for one of these, but I've assumed that's how it's done...

well the best thing i could think of is to make an area in your shop and an item that when a person says update or something, if they have the old item on the ground or nearby it will delete the old and give them the new one.

hope that helps ya

You might want to take a look in the wiki at the llRemoteLoadScriptPin() command, which allows you to load a script into another object (after setting the security pin). Using this, you can set up a 'update station' that will listen for 'update' commands from an object, and then begin the update process.

Well, you have to have a server with all the contents that you have to change whenever there is a new update... And you have a script inside the server that listens for an email saying a certain format of something.You have a script inside the object that you want to be able to update, and it'll email the server with it's information and if the information doesn't equal the one that is inside it's inventory, then that means that it needs to give inventory to the person with the old update. Have the object email "[server key]@lsl.secondlife.com"

I'm looking for the exact same thing. Any change you post what path you took in writing the script?

I don't need the script itself, since I want to write it and learn, I am just more of an outline.

Edit: NM, I should the whole thread next time. The outline is posted right above me.
