Seeking a script and wondering how much to pay a scripter

Once I paid 5000L$ for a script

A good general rule about the 'temporary' object feature is to use it only for objects that are intended to be temporary. Trying to make something permanent with them violates the original intent and is likely to cause problems (e.g., using sim CPU cycles unnecessarily, which causes lag).

The classic example of a temp object is a flying bullet. Temp objects were originally intended for things like machine guns. Modern combat would be untenable without them.

If the objects are decorations that disappear when nobody's nearby, and if usually, nobody's nearby, then I'd say that's on the fuzzy gray line.

I've used a temp rezzer vendor in a shop stall (one I wrote). It displays an item for sale, but only when someone is close by, and the shoppers can cycle between different items (showing only one at a time). It's a good way to show primmy objects where people can see what it really looks like, much better than a picture.

But I've changed to using permanent rezzers lately. For objects where the prim count is high and stall prim allotments are low, a temp rez vendor makes some sense -- if the stall isn't very busy. Still, I'd call this "gray area" usage too.

Regardless, like anything, it's a tool. It's not a problem in and of itself; it can cause problems in various applications. You have to take the whole situation into account to know where the line is. If you temp-rez a few dozen prims and nobody experiences much lag, then, no problem! If you're doing hundreds of them and SL bogs down in your sim, then it's a problem. Of course, it might not bog until your neighbors finish their builds, so you can't test once and be done with it; you need to monitor the situation.

Of course, one av with a zillion prims attached can walk in and do a lot more harm than your temp rezzer ever would.

Good luck, and glad that you're moderating your approach, rather than assuming "if it's allowed, it must be OK".

Hey, I'll sell you one for half that. It says "Hello Avatar!" Isn't that just the cutest?
