How to create/locate store support tools?

Hi

I need two things for a store and I'm not sure if I have to buy them or if I can make them myself.

I need one of those items that gives a customer an information card when an object is clicked. I also need a way to allow people to join a group when they click on an object.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

If I was inworld I'd give you the scripts. Search for "free script library", you should be able to find a place where you can get sripts for objects to do those very things for $L0.

Ghosty, do you know off hand the name of the scripts? I would love the join the group thing- thanks.

Am -- hit me up in world later - I got a bunch of that stuff

hi, im not inworld either, but pretty sure if you type "group profile script" in All search, you will find those scripts

.

Thanks CC! I sure will

Thanks!! I found them using search. The Script Shop carries the group invite script for 1L and ScriptStore #1 carries teh note card giver for 0L.

Thanks again.

At it's simplest, the first is
default
{
touch_start(integer i)
{
llGiveInventory(llDetectedKey(0), llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_NOTECARD, 0));
}
}
That hands out the first notecard in inventory to somebody who touches the object. It'll bitch and fail if there is no notecard. Lots of ways to funk it up, if you really want, by detecting duplicates and things like that, but there's usually no need for any more than this.

The second... cannot be done, unless you license a system with an external server keeping bots online. There's no way to control group membership from normal, inworld LSL scripts. Best you can do without that is having a script IM/email you, and then invite the person by hand.
Again, to KISS:
default
{
touch_start(integer i)
{
llInstantMessage(llGetOwner(), llDetectedName(0) + " would like to join your group.";
llEmail("MyName@MyServer.com", "Group request by " + llDetectedName(0), llDetectedName(0) + " clicked on the inviter object to join the group.";
}
}

I can't help with the whereabouts of scripts, but I've noticed a new trend among groups lately, and that's when you click a group invite panel in a store (for example), it gives a link in chat that you can then click in chat history, which then brings up the group's main info page. I'm guessing that's scripted with a simple llSay, but how does one get the info page link?

That would be
default
{
touch_start(integer i)
{
llInstantMessage(llDetectedKey(0), "Click here to see the group: secondlife:///app/group/65f9ba7a-fb47-c807-f495-ad446cc0bc45/about";
}
}

One way to get the group ID is to view it in the new search. At the bottom of the page there'll be a link like
"Link to this page: http://world.secondlife.com/group/65f9ba7a-fb47-c807-f495-ad446cc0bc45"

I am not sure if you need the RC for the link in IM to be active, though, but it's just about to go official anyway.

Ah, thanks, Tali! I'm using Nicholaz's Eye Candy EC-f, so the RC isn't necessary for the link to show up. I've seen it several times in the past couple of weeks.

Again, thanks!

/me goes off to copy that into a new script.
