Giving script where only want to give one of many similarly named items.

[Thoth Mason]

I have a prim that contains a script and a bunch of items, all identically named.  They are transfer but no copy.

 

When the prim is touched, I want to give ONE of the items to the toucher.

 

If I understand right, llGiveIventory() will give the entire bunch of items with that name, right?

 

Other than renaming the items to be unique -- really, not what I'd hoped to do -- how can I give one of those items away?

Was sitting here looking into your question - but during my testing, I realized that SL automatically renames items so you can't have multiples of the same.

 

Example... I tossed 3 items into an object - all named "Object". SL renamed them to Object, Object 1, Object 2... Can't rename them back to Object either.

Okay, that may be the stupidest post I've made yet.  Sorry about that, I had a window open (script) in front of the contents tab and didn't notice they were all renamed after I dropped the folder in there.  Then went off to read the function description and... 

 

D'oh.

 

Thank you.

Yeah, can't have multiple objects with the same name in a prims inventory. However, llGiveInventory is still the right function.

If you have no copy perms on the items, you could just do 

llGiveInventory(llDetectedKey(0), llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_OBJECT, 0));

 which would give always the first object in the prims contents.

You may want to check if the prim is not empty already. You may also want to limit how many objects a single avatar can take, by storing the avatars UUID in a list.

No sooner said than done.
