Can I apply a texture in a parent to a child?

I realize the child would need its own script to run, but could the llSetTexture() reference a texture in the parents inventory?

(This may be a broader question about referencing inventory items from a child/parent)

Not 100%, but I think you'll need to pass the texture UUID from the parent with a link message. Don't think you can reference other prims inventories.

If you know the texture's key, you can use that to set the texture in any prim without the texture having to be inside the inventory. The llSetTexture function can take a key as the texture name.

Yes, that will do it, and using the key will also solve some of the problems in the "broader question" too, thanks.

I made a free open-source texture changer object. You can get it from me in SL, just IM me.
