Heya guys!
I just created a HUD, and I'm selling it, so I would really like input on it, so this is a combo of my *big release* and question of what people want in a land tools HUD.
I'll post the notecard, and I WOULD REALLY like people's comments on what would be good to add for the future.
From: NOTECARD

What this can do:
Eject people.
Give people a pass to the land.
Revoke that pass.
Ban people from the land.
UnBan people fron the land.
Teleport people home.
Unsit people.
__
Why is this land tool different?
The owner of the system has the ability to give these powers to other residents, and remove that ability without inviting them to a group and setting privs.
HUD is transferable, so HUDs can be handed out.
HUD user has to be added to the access list to use the HUD, so handing out a HUD will not do ANY harm.
It's a more fun way to manage your land than that other guys product.
People you hand the HUD out to CAN NOT target you for anything, OR add or remove people from the list of users. Only the person who rezzed the system can do that.
Nice HUD user interface.
One texture, so fast loading.
Minimizable.
Saves your HUDs position when minimized, so the next time you open or minimize, it is at the position you set it to.
One Script to control all the buttons.
__
Set up:
Attach HUD.
Rez System on your land. Deed the system to group.
DONE.
__
SYSTEM USE:
Click on the system to remove people from the access list.
Access list has a limit of 16 people. (You can add more but dialogs only show 16 people.)
Next Update: Will allow up to 32 people on the access list. (You will be able to add more but dialogs will only show 32.)

So That's the notecard. Anyone have suggestions on what to add to make this a better product? I know it is missing out on some stuff, but I don't know what it is. All help would be lovely.

i would love to have an 'unsitter' but i believe that would be against TOS.

Well. I have three responses to that XD
1) It's your land, and I think you can pretty much do anything on it.
2) LL made the function, soit's probably O.K.
3) Part of the function is the ability to unsit people on your land, so I doubt it's against TOS if that IS one of its purposes.

On the limit of 16 people to the acces list, not sure if it's sloppy or novice programming (if it's the second I'm impressed with what you made), but there is an easy way to get passed that limit, break up the access list into 14 item segments using llList2List and add a prev/next pair of buttons, now the access list is only limited by the memory.

No I won't give a sniplet. it's more fun figuring it out yourself but I'm sure you can manage that. :)

It's not against the tos. We use Conovers units to do all of the actions mentioned above and his units are not against the tos. they complile with it, Trust me it's a prebuilt in fucntion the lindens put into the server side code.

llUnsit() is a very common function, and is perfectly legitimate to be used by a landowner or their delegates on their own land.

It will not function against other avatars on land not owned by the script owner/group.

Right, and I think it used to be (still is?) that if you were to eject someone from your land who was sitting on your fine leather sofa, before unsitting them, your fine leather sofa would tag along with them when they were ejected.

Haha Neither. I just wanted to release the product before the people I told about it did. It's really a pretty easy thing to add; however, I feel that adding an unlimited amount of people to the list is unnecessary. So. It's me being my lazy self XD
