CHANGED_NAME and/or CHANGED_DESC. Be nice to see either or both of these. Would keep from having to make timers for them, which really shouldn't be necessary.

I'd give this a +1, would be very convenient for customizing products. I see no significant concern about bricking scripts: what am I missing? this event would rarely fire and thus should not cause much trouble.

There are plenty of scripts that can easily get bricked by this.

We should not be adding anything else to changed until we get a means of filtering triggers. The more triggers added, the more changed runs and the higher script EPS goes in the region.

Lucia Nightfire Meanwhile objects in regions running 1 sec or sub timers to compensate for lack of trigger eating up even more so..
I think the bigger issue though and related to this is that.. we don't have an easily accessible editable data store accessible from both lsl and gui. Because, here's the thing, alot of people use descrip to plop and manipulate data into.
Why? Because it's easy, quick, and accessible. From both lsl and gui. Can be picked up right away by other objects with llGOD.
Notecards are a thing, they trigger changed_inventory, can be read remotely, but aren't writable from lsl and also have their quirks. LSD is writable from lsl but not gui, not accessible remotely. So have to plop in some clunky menu or chat listen code or such for input. Also doesn't trigger changed.
So we need some sort of solution to this. Ultimately, a gui for LSD and changed event trigger, and remote LSD or making notecards editable from lsl.

I think changed description would be more useful than name.. for a lot of cases.
