click here to get handout -- How to make?

[Maverick Broadfoot]

I’m going to teach a class soon.  I’d like to create a prim, just a box that students can click on to get handouts.  I’ve seen this done elsewhere.  How can I make this?

Givers of the prims inventory are avalable free in script libraries.  Some give one item, others give several in a folder.  Obtain the one that suits you, drop it into the prim along with the items you want to give.

Pull a "give all contents" script (from the box something you bought came in) into your inventory. Make sure it's a full perms script, just to be on the safe side, or at least copy/mod. 

Rez a box. Drag whatever copy-permitted items you want to give away to the contents section of the edit window. This can be objects, notecards, landmarks, etc.

Add the "give all contents" script you just salvaged.

(If there is floating text, you will have to open the "give..." script from the contents section of the edit window and change the text line to say what you want it to say. If you don't want floating text, remove the title, just leave the quotation marks. Then it will look something like this: llSetText("", <0,0,1>, 1.5); Not all "give" scripts have this floating text line, however.)

Do whatever else you want to with the box, color it, texture it, change it to a sphere if you like. Add horns and a tail if you feel like it. Leave it as "click to touch" in the general section of the edit window.

Rename the box if you want; then you can find it again after you take it into your inventory. Take the object or a copy of it into your inventory.

Test your new object to make sure it works. If it doesn't, either you did something wrong, or the script needs to be modified, which is beyond the scope of this reply.

That's the simple method, I hope it works out for you.
