Notecard Giver

Touch it and it hands over the notecards in its Contents, with a floating label so people know it is worth touching.

What it does

On a touch it gives out a notecard. Name one in the settings and that is the one; leave the name empty and it gives every notecard it holds. A single card goes on its own, so it lands in the visitor's Notecards folder where they will look for it, while several go as one folder named after the object, which is the only way they stay together. It serves everybody who touched it at the same moment, not just the first, so a group arriving together does not have to queue.

What you can build with it

The rules by the door, the info board at the landing point, a welcome pack, instructions beside a build you are giving away, a menu outside a club, the terms on a rental box, a set of building notes next to a sandbox.

How to use it

1 Rez a sign or a board and drop this script into it.
2 Drop your notecard, or several, into the same prim's Contents.
3 Change LABEL to say what touching it gets you. That floating line is the whole reason anybody touches it.
4 If it holds several notecards and you only want one given, write that one's name into NOTECARD.
5 Touch it yourself to check what arrives, and where.

Settings you can change

Edit these at the top of the script. Everything works on the defaults · change them only when you need to.

NOTECARD Which notecard to give, by name. Left empty it gives every notecard in its Contents at once, as one folder. (empty)
LABEL Floating words above it so people know it is worth touching. This line is the whole invitation. Touch for the house rules
LABEL_COLOUR The colour of that label. <1.0, 1.0, 1.0>
THANKS What it says to whoever touched it. Empty says nothing. On its way. Look in your Inventory, under Notecards.
WHO_MAY_TAKE 0 for everyone, 1 for the owner alone, 2 for anyone wearing the same group tag. 0
