How do I?

How do I give several items in an object to anyone who touches it? Is it possible for them to go in a folder?

Use the llGiveInventoryList function...

Thanks for the reply Hank.

I tried that script, but it only works for the owner on rez....unless I am doing something wrong. Highly likely since I have absolutely no scripting skills. What I have is several items in an object that I would like anyone who touches that object to receive them in a folder.

You can set the object to be 'For sale', set the price to $0, and set it to give out its contents. That way when someone 'buys' the item (for $0), they'll automatically get a folder with the item's contents in it. The name of the folder will be the name of the container object that they 'bought' from. So you'll get the effect you want (I think), only the user will have to 'buy' the item instead of just touching it. And you won't need a script at all.

The reason it only works for the owner b/c it checks for the owners key.

llGiveInventoryList(llGetOwner(), text, inventory);

you could change the llGetOwner() to llDetectedLink(0); to give to somebody else.

Thanks Oasis,

I tried that and got the folowing error message. (38, 4 : ERROR: Name not defined within scope.

Guess the easiest way is just to set it for sale.

Try llDetectedKey(0) - that should work. So replace that line with:

llGiveInventoryList(llDetectedKey(0), text, inventory);

I think that's what Oasis meant to say
