Say I have a notecard I like to update a lot that people can get by clicking on in-world dispensors. When I update that notecard, does its key change? Will I still need to go around to my dispensors and change the key of the notecard they dispense?

I'm 90% sure, for a script to give an item that item must be in it's inventory. BUT a script can give that item from any where in the world. So instead of having a billion vending machines, why not have one, and a large amount amount of terminals. The terminals can e-mail the vending machine with the user key and the item to give to said user.
Another alternative would be a distributed network. So you drop a file in any of the vending machines, and it will give a copy to all other vending machines.

Yup...notecards get new keys every time they're saved.
If it's a single notecard you're giving out at multiple points, you can have your notecard vault and your info stations swap email periodically to distribute the updated key.

Just curious, but if all you're doing is giving a notecard when they click -- you don't even need the notecard's key. llGiveInventory(key_avatar, string_notecard_name); --Water

I've been trying to figure out how to change the contents of a notecard and had concluded that it wasn't possible. The postings here imply that it is possible. If notecard contents can be modified, can someone explain the mechanism? And can notecards be created on-the-fly or do they need to exist in an inventory already?
Thanks

Notecards cannot be changed by script.
the Notecard key changes when you edit the Notecard (with maybe the exception if there is only one symbolic link to it (all links are symbolic)).

--Water That's not my problem, Water. I update this notecard frequently. I don't want to fly all over the world to update my dispensors. |
