Maya Spore Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I'm going to sell this item that will be no trans/copy/no mod. The first owner will have rights to modify it through a menu and personalize things, then resell it again or give it away (hence the copy/trans rights). The next owners won't have this possibility. So I need to differ between first owner and the others.I scripted my way through this, put the first owner in a var and test the current owner against it (and I made it reset proof).But... if the first owner doesn't rez the item, the script won't run and he won't be registered as the first owner and can resell it exactly like the original item, making the next owners the registered first owners. That is something I want to prevent.Does anyone know a way I could do this right? In other words, I need a way to be 100% sure the person using it is the first owner (not counting myself of course)Thanks in advance,Maya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Void Singer Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 there is only one way that I know of to reliably force script execution on first owner (after creator).... that is to have the item sold as "buy original" while it's inworld. a simple way to achieve this is to set up a touch rezzor, that rezzes your item to be sold, which should probably be set to temp_on_rez, or scripted to die if not bought. when it's recieves the changed event with changed owner it can stop being temp_on_rez or the countdown till death can be halted.... and the first owner registered.

Marielle Caerndow Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 as I understand it, you could do: 1. Add a no-trans/yes-copy script into the object. This makes the whole object no-trans. And since the scipt is yes-copy, it's can't be removed from the object other than by a scripted call. That's why next... 2. Add a scripted function that removes this no-trans script. As result, your first owner get a no-trans object (because of the no-trans dummy-script). Means, the object must be rezzed by the first owner to remove this no-trans script. After the script has been removed, the whole object becomes yes-trans again. (( test this trick with an alt before going in production. If everything done as I said (adding a yes-copy/no-trans script + script call to remove it), I should work. No guarantee, though.)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Void Singer Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 ooo I like it.... I guess there's more than one way to skin this cat =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterCanessa Oh Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Authorised resellers: Create a database of resellers. Give them a copy/no-trans script. If you're taking a cut of their sales sell them copies of a trans/no-copy script that says "I am a customer", otherwise just give it to them copy+trans When rezzed the "I am a customer" script gets an update (with the real, working, script either copy or trans, as you prefer). That way you keep an eye on the resellers and end-uses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maya Spore Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 well it gets weirder now, now it is no trans (it is an attachment and I rezzed it on the ground once and applied the perms on the script)) but after the script has been removed, it remains no trans. I guess the rights has been set and only the NEXT owners right are adapted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marielle Caerndow Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Maya, I just tested it with a friend. Here it worked. Ava1: created box (yes-copy/no-mod/yes-trans). Add 1 control-script ( yes-copy/no-mod/yes-trans). The whole object is now still yes-copy/no-mod/yes-trans. Now adding a second 'dummy-script' with yes-copy/no-mod/no-trans)....the whole object gets no-trans as expected. The control-scipt was scripted to remove the dummy-script when touched. Now sent the object to a Ava2. Ava2 : Rezzes the object, it's still yes-copy/no-mod/no-trans. Ava2 touched it and the control-script removed the no-trans-dummy-script. Result: as expected, the whole object becomes yes-trans. To mention again, Ava2 removed the tranfer-block-script when the object was rezzed in-world (not attached) ...maybe this is the difference.

Maya Spore Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 Marielle, did the main object actually visually changed to no trans for ava1 (the next owner setting of course)? I'll play some more later today with it. The hud is 50 prims so hard to make it rez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maya Spore Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 Okay, I tested it and when I rez my HUD to the ground, the perms will be set as desired. it won't when I do this while attached. I guess I will have to force them to rez it to ground then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
