Ok..here is the situation:

Im trying to make a HUD that reads notecards, and displays textures listed on that notecard, as well as the name of its related script to be used (which would contain button info, etc).

I found that the EATAVEND 1 prim vendor (a freeware vendor that has full perm scripts) is almost exactly what I need. So I took that script and clipped out all the parts having to do with transactions...and I hit a brick wall. No matter how many times I try look at the code, I cant get it to read the notecard now.

The worst part is..from what I can tell, all the notecard stuff seems to be in line. Does anyone have a script similar to what im talking about? Or a modified version of the eatavend script?

Reading a notecard involves calling llGetNotecardLine:

lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=llGetNotecardLine

which then raises the dataserver event:

lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=dataserver

containing the retrieved data.

Just to summarize..im looking for a notecard reader that loads textures onto a prim of my choice (linked, of course) that is listed in said notecard. Theres gotta be something like that out there. I dont seem to be getting anywhere with my script mod.
