Hi all,

Just a probably silly question, and no I dont have skills to rewrite scripts.

Im trying to find a paydoor for a cinema, I have found many in slex and in world, but
Most only allow one person in, and then say its occupied, does anybody know a vendor or a maker of doors that allow, say up to 9-10 people in, of coures at different times during the day, Ims i have sent to some door makers, asking if they can help suggest one of their products have gone unanswered, not good for customer relations I thought.!

So hope some one has knowledge of cinema operating, that can suggest the product I need

thanks guys/girls

Go visit Alicia Stella and her shop. She has a tonne of things like that. As to specifics, not sure, but she has a lot of really well made advanced pay items. You may want to explore using the land as a paid fee, it may be more akin to your needs. As for actual limits on paid entry, I am not sure this is easy. She sells a paid teleporter that activates for a said time upon paying, and allowd that person and as many friends to teleport after they pay. Then locks it down, it even boots them all if they run out of time. That maybe an option, skyboxes and a paid tp up.

Paid to enter door in itself is prety useless because anyone can just cam inside and sit on something.
You would need some sort of securety device that will kick anyone out who doesn't pay, I know hipposecure has a way to let you add and remove people remotely but seeing you have no scripting skills that can be hard.

That leaves you with the option to sell passes on the land, this works best if you can divide the land so there is a entry bit where anyone can land and then pay the ground to buy a pass for the time you set out.
This is perhaps the most cost effective and secure way unless you are more then 50 meter above the ground.

my thanks to you, unfortunetly Alicias stellas online slex teleporting device, i was interested in buying is one of the people that didnt reply to my questions, i sent her a message in slex, but i notice very few vendors reply to messages in slex, mainly if u Im them in world they seem to respond, so not going to ask questions in slex to vendors any more as most are ignored:( do vendors actually check mail in slex??

I do like alicias tele pad and I will try and find her shop in world today :))

Abigail, thanks love, its a bit of a pain, because we wanted to have a white list for our own friends to be able to go in and out. I do have hippsecure, althuogh i dont know how to operate it, my new partner knows how to set up hippo rental boxes, its just thats this my baby, lol and was hoping to do this by myself while she is busy splitting up parcels on our other sim.

Our other slight prob, is we already have split our land to allow sep media streams one for our own tele/radio, and the other side which includes the cinema was going to be for streaming the mp4s....the area where the cinema is, is mostly island and public access. So land passes may be rather a complication!

I once went a club which had upstairs 5 play rooms, secertary nurse, lesbo and bdsm rooms, etc... that had a big 10x10 flat petition in front, this had a sort of letter box thing on the wall, that u paid and also the amount of time, it also said if u enter when not paid u get ejected, do u know of this system ??

thanks guys/girls

if already split your land then you are halfway there. This script is public, I got it in the script library.

// This easy to use plot "covercharge" assist will help you be able to set-up a ticket booth, when charging cover to the "Carnivale" fairs and amusements. I find it always a good idea to sell passes on a day (24 hour) period. This enables people to return all day, bring in friends, and feel like they purchased a substantial block of time at your establishment.

//By editing these two simple variables you can easily automate your land rentals. Be sure to set your physical land ACCESS to reflect these changes to ensure less bugs and security regarding people getting in unpaid.

//VARIABLE 1: This variable determines the price for the set 24 hour time frame. Simple set it in ($L) Linden Dollars and it will automatically create a "quick pay" dialogue box for your customers.
integer gCorrectAmount = 60; // this defines the correct L$ price

//VARIABLE 2: This is the actual time for rent, in hours that your customers will have access to.
float timeAllowed = 24; // always in hours, for example: 1.0 is 1h; 3.5 is 3h30min; 0.2 is 12min

//DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE. Unless you are a practiced scripter there is no need to edit anything below this line. Doing so without knowledge will easily corrupt this script.


vector BLUE = <0,0,1>;
vector RED = <1,0,0>;
vector GREEN = <0,1,0>;
vector YELLOW = <1,1,0>;

default{
state_entry() {
llSetText("Requesting perms..",YELLOW,1.0);
llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(), PERMISSION_DEBIT);
}

on_rez(integer parm){ llResetScript(); }

run_time_permissions(integer permissions) {
if (permissions & PERMISSION_DEBIT) { state ready; }
else { state error;}
}
}

state error {
state_entry(){ llSetText("error..",RED,1.0); }
on_rez(integer parm){ llResetScript(); }
touch_start(integer total_number) {
integer i;
for (i=0;i<total_number;++i) {
if(llDetectedKey(i)==llGetOwner()) {
llResetScript();
}
}
}
}

state ready {
state_entry() {
llSetPayPrice(PAY_DEFAULT, [gCorrectAmount, PAY_HIDE, PAY_HIDE, PAY_HIDE]); // Set values of fast pay dialog
llSetText("Buy your Pass of "+llGetRegionName()+" here",BLUE,1.0);
}
on_rez(integer parm){ llResetScript(); }
money(key id, integer amount) {
if (amount > gCorrectAmount) { // if they've overpaid.
integer refund = amount - gCorrectAmount; // determine how much extra they've paid.
llInstantMessage(id,"You paid too much, your change is L$" + (string)refund);
llGiveMoney(id, refund); // refund their change.
}

if (amount >= gCorrectAmount) { // When amount is correct
llSetText("Loading Access List..\nplease wait..",YELLOW,1.0);
llAddToLandPassList(id, timeAllowed);
llInstantMessage(id,"Thank you, " + llKey2Name(id) + ", your are now in the access list.";);
llInstantMessage(id,"You will recieve a notice when the time are nearly elapsed.";);
state reset_ready;
}
else {
llInstantMessage(id, llKey2Name(id)
+ ", you didn't pay enought (L$" + (string)gCorrectAmount
+ ";). Refunding your payment of L$" + (string)amount + ".";);
llGiveMoney(id, amount); // refund amount paid.
} } }

state reset_ready { state_entry() { state ready; } on_rez(integer parm){ llResetScript(); } }

K you will need to make sure the base prim is in the parcel you want to rent. This can easily be done by linking yout pay sign, on the main plot, to an invisable prim in the cinema. The person pays, and can enter the plot. There will be no camming of any sort. If you setup the pay per enter in the land the person can't even enter the said plot.

*Just delete that crap I added, I use it for my amusement park.

omg job for sue!
06-18-2008 07:05
heya, thanks for them details, i will paste those scripts to a word pad and in a sl note card and let sue work em out lol Shes the expert, they seem to cover most probs i was trying to overcome, i had a feeling a pay door on its own wasnt going to end in letting a load people in cinema, just like that.

many thanks, i dont understand it myself, but sues config the land and knows to configure a hippo rent box so im sure she will make sense of this ,, many thanks for taking time to write it all out Atom!:)

thanks
