hi everybody,
was wondering, if it was possible to open a notecard, which is in an object's inventory, by script?
Example: The object, which contains the notecard features a menue. So, you click the menu, choose open notecard and the specified notecard pops up.
Any chance to make this happen?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance. You can get information from within a notecard, but the only way to make it 'pop up' on their screen is to actually give them the notecard. |

Oh, I guess you got me wrong. I thought more of a configuration notecard, which is in an object's inventory. The user, who wants to edit it, can open it by menue. Example: User clicks the prim, that contains the notecard, he gets a blue menue, clicks on "configure", notecard pops up.
Is that possible?
Thanks

No. You can only read the contents of a notecard into a script and store the data into variables (strings, lists, integers, etc). What you're talking about is being able to write to a notecard via scripting which is not possible. The best you could hope for would be to give a COPY of the notecard to the user, who could edit the notecard, resave it, and then perhaps drop it back into the same prim.

Simply right click the Prim, choose Edit and go to Contents Tab, choose the notecard and Open it.

yeah, I know how to open a notecard  I wanted to make it easier for the user, so he does not have to go to objects contents, but can open the notecard by menue. I know that it is not possible to write to a notecard. I do not want to do that, I just want to open it My intention was to create a menue that guides a person through a setup process. 1st step, the menue tells the user to write several information to a notecard. 2nd step, the user clicks ok, the notecard pops up. 3rd step, he modifies the notecard and saves it... It's not that important, just thought it would be a nice way to make a setup process of certain products easier for an unexperienced user. Thanks. |
