When you take an item back into inventory is there a way to have it change its name.
For example: On rez it sets a new name, when it is picked up can it change its name back to the default name?

If I understand what you are asking, I don't think so. When you pick the object up, SL puts the entire object and all of its scripts "on ice". Consequently scripts can't know when they are "picked up" and placed into your inventory. Even if they could, they don't run in your inventory, so they couldn't react to it anyway.
They can only know when they rez, when the on_rez event fires.

exception would be attachments... two effects in play there...
effect one:
object name changes on worn attachments are ignored when they go back to inventory
effect two:
you may be able to get the attach event to fire when an object is taken off, but most people can't get this to happen consistently before the objects goes to inventory

I've not run into a problem with this not happening, but I've had customers tell me that once in a while it keeps the name when it goes back into inventory but then the next time it works correctly, and works most of the time. |
