Touch Rental Boxes

[Roswenthe Blackwell]

This modifiable set of 2 scripts are for those who wish to keep track of their residents by requiring the box to be clicked on a set time frame...ex: if they do not then you can consider them no longer interested enough and go from there.

rentbox1

Code: Select all

key kRenter;
default
{
  state_entry()
  {
    kRenter=NULL_KEY;
    llSetColor(<0,1,0>,ALL_SIDES);
    llSetText("Touch to rent this spot!",<1,1,1>,1);
  }
  touch_start(integer foo)
  {
    if(kRenter == NULL_KEY)
    {
      kRenter=llDetectedKey(0);
      llSetText("",<1,1,1>,1);
      llWhisper(0,"thx for the renting!");
      llSetColor(<1,0,0>,ALL_SIDES);
    }
    else if(kRenter == llDetectedKey(0))
    {
      kRenter=NULL_KEY;
      llWhisper(0,"Awww I love you bye bye D:");
      llSetColor(<0,1,0>,ALL_SIDES);
      llSetText("Touch to rent this spot!",<1,1,1>,1);
    }
    else
    {
      llSetTimerEvent(5);
      llSetText("Rented by: "+llKey2Name(kRenter),<1,1,1>,1);
    }
  }
  timer()
  {
    llSetTimerEvent(0);
    llSetText("",<1,1,1>,1);
  }
}

rentbox2

Code: Select all

string getFirstName(string name)
{
  return llGetSubString(name, 0, llSubStringIndex(name, " ") - 1);
}

default
{
  touch_start(integer num_detected)
  {
    llSetText(getFirstName(llDetectedName(0)), <1,1,1>, 1);  // 
  }
}

I am trying to use the touch-to-rent rental box scripts posted in the scripts library thread, but I have to admit I'm terrible at scripting. Mainly, what I am trying to figure out is how to set the time limit. I gather that the second script doesn't handle that at all, so I was playing with the first script, but the setTimerEvent didn't seem to do anything.

How can I set a time limit to touch and renew the rental?

it is possible this one no longer works in the current OS...hopefully ppl who actually know what they are talking about will comment-)) [but since I had posted it originally]

it might just need a little tweaking also

So you know, they don't completely work, and they're not for payment, though I'm sure someone smart enough could fix that. I really am not looking for payment boxes, but a time limit would be helpful.

I don't know scripting other than some little mods, sometimes, can the number in this be changed for other periods of time?

llSetTimerEvent(5);

Yeah, I tried that, and it didn't seem to make any difference. The number should be minutes, at least according to what I looked up. Though in SL they used 0.0. Maybe it's days, I dunno. I wish I understood more about scripting.

Oh wait, it did work. I set it to 0.4 (with the advice of this LSL Wiki page): and it reset after a minute. So it does work, I just must have had it too high.

Next I'm going to see if I can input a time left line so it shows on the box.

I found a payment rental script that works just fine, though it doesn't quite work as a free rental system.

I have normal SL payment rental boxes that work on Kitely, reach me Inworld if you want a copy, but the problem is that they don't acknowledge and don't catchup with time lapses when regions are down (non visited) so tenants get loads more time on the countdown than actually remains

Anyway, having many rental boxes on a same area contributes to Lag so your scripts seams better because it will not be used for payment but for renew control - That feature where people must touch to renew works great for me and scripts that work only by touch are not permanent so no Lag

Im going to offer free small homes at my 16 world but I need to be sure people keep using them because they really need them and just don't take them on the beginning and never show-up again, preventing the ones that really need them to start using those homes

So that wonderful touch-renew feature is great and whoever does not show for a hole week looses the free home for the next needy one
