Removing invetory item after it is delivered ?

how do I get the script to automatically delete a note card after it gives it to the owner?
I wanted to make my own drop box script and it works.. however after it gives me the inventory that someone else dropped into it...that inventory is still in the object... so how do I get it to remove the inventory once it gives it to me?

After your script gives you the notecard call llRemoveInventory("notecard's name";

The note card will be job applications that people drop into it. every one will have a different name because before anyone drops an application off they're supposed to put their own name in the title
I have a different object to give out the applications to people wanting a job... they take it.. fill it out.. rename it adding their name to the title.. and then drop it off in the box .. I click the box to get the note card.. that part all works...I just want the notecard in the box to go away after i check it.

Yes...I realize that. What I am saying is your current script is obviously going through the object's inventory and giving you the notecards which requires it to know their names so all you need to do is have that script remove the notecard right after it's given to you.

the give inventory part of the script was a freebie I got and I just modified it to notify me when a notecard is dropped.. and to have hover text... Im still new at scripting.. Never actually made my own before. this is my first.. and its more of a modded script than anything else... only a few lines were mine.

this script gives all its invetory to the owner when clicked so where in here do I use llremoveInvetory, and WHERE in there is the invetory name?

This only gives out the notecards in inventory.

that actually makes sense.
Even with my beginner scripting knowledge I can roughly understand that.
thanks.

Darn.. syntax Error.

Fixed it
problem was this:

[/code]

This only gives out the notecards in inventory.
I just commented that out and it works now thank you

WE got other people who might need to be able to get the notecards.. how can I change it to give notecard only to members of the objects group?

I knocked this up earlier but Ron beat me to the send Button.
The code is almost identical so I have added the group detect for you.

key owner;

default
{
	state_entry()
	{
		llAllowInventoryDrop(TRUE);
		owner = llGetOwner();
		llSetText("ENTER TEXT HERE", <0.0,1.0,0.0>, 1);
	}

	changed(integer change)
	{
		if (change & CHANGED_INVENTORY)
		{
			llInstantMessage(owner,"Inventory has changed.");
		}
	}

	touch_start(integer total_number)
	{
		key target = llDetectedKey(0);

		if (target == owner || llSameGroup(target))
		{
			integer k;
			integer typecount;
			string objectname;

			typecount = llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_NOTECARD); // how many of that kind of inventory is in the box?
			if (typecount > 0)
			{
				for (k=0; k < typecount; k++)
				{
					objectname = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_NOTECARD,k);
					llGiveInventory(target,objectname);
					llRemoveInventory(objectname);
				}
			}
			else llInstantMessage(owner,"No Notecards Found");
		}
		else llInstantMessage(target,"Sorry, only the owner or a Group member with an active tag is allowed to get my contents.");
	}
}

notes. The

 and 

are not part of the script, they are supposedly for forum formatting.
The object must be deeded to the group.
The group member must have the group active, it is the only way to detect a group that I know of.

stil.. only the owner is able to get the NC... I had my alt who is in same group as I deeded the object to... and nothing happens.. no NC> not even a mesage sying not in right group.

Strange, I looked over the logic and it should work.
I will go in world just now and test it.

The object needs to be set to group, not deeded. If you deed it the group becomes the owner and the owner check fails silently because there's a bug with llInstantMessage() failing when being used by a deeded object.

I have updated my original script to reverse the logic, so that it is easier to read, and tested it in world. It works deeded to group but Talon has a valid point with regards IM.
Try it set to group, it will still work, and avoids the second issue in that you can no longer edit the object once deeded.
