Give items to a specific person

[Sweet2770]

Hi SL

I have a script that gives an item in the object to a person...

But my plan is to give that items to only one specific person so another one cant take it.

Do anyone know which functions I need to do that?

[Wulfie Reanimator]

In the touch_start event, use llDetectedKey(0) to check who touched the object. If the key isn't the one you want, don't give the item.

Okay I also thought it was something about llDetectedKey(0).

But how do the script knows who that person is i want to give the item to?

Probably the existing script uses llGiveInventory() inside a touch_start() event. It seems you want to check whether the person who touched is the person you want to give the item to, so you need to "guard" that llGiveInventory with a conditional, something like:

if ("Sweet2770 Resident" == llDetectedName(0))
{ llGiveInventory…
}

(Ah, while I was typing Wulfie answered. I just used llDetectedName instead of llDetectedKey because it might be handier than looking up the key of the intended recipient, although that's also pretty easy especially because they're in the same region, touching stuff.)

ooh okay now I got it

Thank you so much Qie and Wulfie

Just one more question, im still learning scripting

    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        if("sweet2770 Resident"== llDetectedKey(0))
        {
            llGiveInventory(user, llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_NOTECARD, 0) ); 
        }

what is wrong here?

[Sweet2770]

ups lol. that most be cus i used detectedkey instead of detctedname

but i also need to change "user" in llGiveInventory
