Read from root

[Shihan Feiri]

Its late and mine brain have been little slow now on wiki. So the fast way is to ask here.

 

I have 2 prims linked- root and child.

 

In root is notecard. In child is script.

What's the code to read notecard from root prim if I  click (Touch_start) child prim with reading notecard content script .

 

mybe with LINK_ROOT? but where to put that...

You can't read a notecard from prim A that is in prim B - linked or not. You cann give the nC from B to A or pass the contents from a reader in prim B to prim A, but you need a script in prim A

If you only want the notecard read when someone touches a particular prim, you could test, in the touch event in the root prim, for what llDetectedLinkNumber is before reading the card.

For what it's worth, I generally try to read notecards once, when the script starts, and store the contents in a list or variables, since it's a lot quicker to refer to those at run time than it is to keep on reading a card each time someone touches the prim.
