i have a Script For a Tip Jar but i have a question about the coding,Any Help is appreciated!

[Luxz Blessed]

i have this script  for a tip jar

default
{
state_entry()
{
llSetPayPrice(5, [10,50,100]);
}

money(key id, integer amount)
{
llInstantMessage(id, "Thanks for the tip!!";);
}
}

 

i am new to scripting so please bare through this with me lol ... ok so, if i input this into a object i made would it work properly or  would i have to input some key id  where it says ''key id'' ?  and is there a way so that i don't have to be the owner for it to work? because i want to sell the jar object i make (for a very low amount since i am practicing)...  how do i set it  so that  the person who purchases it becomes the owner  i want the person to be able to work all its functions and get the money from the tip jar ...but keeping the jar locked from anyone else that might take the money.

i know this must sound really dumb.. and maybe i dont make sence ,but i only have some expirence in making objects i never tried scripting before.

thanks for the help!

It'll work correctly as is, you shouldn't replace the "id".

[Luxz Blessed]

ok, great! thanks for checking it

[Void Singer]

event variables are filled by the thing that triggers them, so no.

 

in short, if you see "key", "string", "list", "integer", 'float", "vector", or "rotation" by itself in front of another word, never ever mess with that (anything after = in that patern may be fair game though)

[Darkie Minotaur]

Here are some answers to your questions:

• id automatically is the id of the payer - this parameter is passed by the noney event - you don't have to do a thing
• as soon as you pass the thing to someone else, this ava bacomes the owner. The owner always gets the money - or the group the object is deeded to
• there are several ways:
  - you give the buyer a copy - the original object stays your object. You can use llGiveInventory for it e.g.
  - A different way would be to simply set the object's properties accordingly and sell it without using a script.
• As soon as the object is given to someone, it's his/or her object. 
• Take a look at the object's properties. You can set what the next owner can do

Ok I Tried it Out And It's Not Working

default
{
state_entry()
{
llSetPayPrice(5, [10,50,100]);
}

money(key id, integer amount)
{
llInstantMessage(id, "Thanks for the tip, Brightest Blessings!"; );
}
}

 

 

i  am getting a syntax error

here is the exact error i am getting:

(9,63) :ERROR:  syntax error

 

but when i remove the  ;   after blessings!"  it does not  give me a error  anymore  but  the object  is  still not giving me the option to  give money to the jar  .. what am i doing wrong?

[Darkie Minotaur]

Does this do whar you expect?

default{	state_entry()	{		llSetClickAction(CLICK_ACTION_PAY);		llSetPayPrice(5, [10,50,100]);	}		money(key id, integer amount)	{		llInstantMessage(id, "Thanks for the tip, Brightest Blessings!" );	}}

[Luxz Blessed]

no it doesnt seem to do anything, do i have to enable anything? i dont know it's acting as if there is no script,but there is.. when i right click ''touch'' or ''pay'' is not clickable also just left clicking doesnt do anything too

[Darkie Minotaur]

when you open the script, is "running" ticked? If yes, what dioes the mose cursor show if you hover over the object?

[Luxz Blessed]

OMG it works ! it's because running wasnt ticked! thank you!!!!! :matte-motes-wink-tongue: i'm so silly thanks a million!

[Luxz Blessed]

one more question though how do i get a text above it to show to people it is a tip jar  not just a random object

[Darkie Minotaur]

you use llSetText - the link will take you to the wiki

[Luxz Blessed]

thanks for the link, i think i understand it, do i make a seperate script for the text or use the same one i used for the tip jar?

sorry for the questions , you dont have to answer

[Darkie Minotaur]

Put it in the same one. If the text is static, put it in the state_entry event - else you put it in the money event

integer giSum;default{	state_entry()	{		llSetClickAction(CLICK_ACTION_PAY);		llSetPayPrice(5, [10,50,100]);	}		money(key id, integer amount)	{		llInstantMessage(id, "Thanks for the tip, Brightest Blessings!" );                giSum += amount;                llSetText("Happy tip jar - click me to donate!\nSo far, we have collected " + (string)giSum + " L$", <1, 0, 0>, 1.0);	}}

 

[Luxz Blessed]

still works but the text is not showing up

[Darkie Minotaur]

It should show - but only after the first donation

integer giSum;default{	state_entry()	{		llSetClickAction(CLICK_ACTION_PAY);		llSetPayPrice(5, [10,50,100]);		llSetText("Happy tip jar - click me to donate!\nSo far, we have collected 0 L$", <1, 0, 0>, 1.0);	}		money(key id, integer amount)	{		llInstantMessage(id, "Thanks for the tip, Brightest Blessings!" );                giSum += amount;                llSetText("Happy tip jar - click me to donate!\nSo far, we have collected " + (string)giSum + " L$", <1, 0, 0>, 1.0);	}}
