Deleting Object Inventory

[2toe Bigboots]

Is there a way to have a script to get rid or a cerin notecard when it recieves the same name

Say i have Object A it has  notecard  config in it

And object B sends object A a note card Config

i want object a to only read the new note card

Unfortunately you (by you I mean the script) can't rename a notecard once you receive it.   So if a duplicate name comes in the system is going to add to the name to make it unique. 

A work around is for the sending object to send a preparation message (hey, get rid of the config notecard because I'm about to send a new one.)  Wait a bit (or wait for a confirming response message.)   Then send the new config notecard.

Wow thats easy sweet

So let me know if this would be the best way

Send from update server the Romoveinventory script that will ditch the old notcard make script wait a little then send the new card ??

Seems ok - you could check first if the script in question is there and then after the call to the llRemoveInventory you could check if it's done. This last step I would probably do before sending the new script

Just write ....

default{     touch_start(integer num)     {          llRegionSay(-19483, ""Die, old card!"); 
 llSleep(5.0); 
 llGiveInventory("UUID of your Object Goes Here", llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_NOTECARD,0));     }}

 And then have this script in your receiving object ...

default{    state_entry()     {          llListen(-19483,"","","");     }     listen (integer channel, string name, key id, string msg)     {          if(msg == "Die, old card!")          {              llRemoveInventory(llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_NOTECARD,0));          }     }}

 Just be sure that your two scripts are in the same region.  Otherwise, you'll have to use something other than llRegionSay.
