Library: Multi-item, Multi-author vendor

If you disable the timer, the items simply won't change by themselves, that's all. Everything else will function properly.

Does anyone have advice for changing WHERE the model rezzes? like.. in relation to the vendor object?

Near the top of the vendor script are these lines:

// Model rez position relative to parent object
vector rezPosition = <-0.1,0,-0.1>;

Just change that value to the position relative to the vendor's root prim where you want models to rez.

thanks, I found it, sorry to bother you, I should have just read the script.

Any help would be appreciated ... I've used this script to create a vendor but when the owner of the vendor (and contents) is not on line then the display items do not rez.

I don't feel like de-bugging so I'm checking to see if anyone else has had the same problem with this script first.

Any ideas why?

Thanks in advance Chilly!

Hello,

I thought I posted this question before but am not seeing it. If this is a double post then my apologies in advance. Here is my problem:

I created a vendor using these scripts and it works great EXCEPT ... when the owner of the vendor (and it's contents) is not logged into SL then the display objects are not rezzed when you click the forward and back buttons. If the owner logs off the vendor actually does seem to work for a while but eventually will stop until the owner logs on again.

So this vendor is only good when the owner of the vendor is logged on?

Has anyone else run into this problem, and what is the fix?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello does anyone know how on a Mac to get scripts to copy? I have tried different browsers, but it's very hard to select them, since it triest to select the whole page, doesn't matter if it is IE or Safari. Then once you do get it selected it has all the excess tabs in it looking like ***** all over the place and there are so many it's to hard to take them out. Hope someone can help.

HI Mortimer Millhouse, if your still trying to figure out how to copy php code from safari in os x into script editor in the sl client. Here is how.

Start selecting before the script box, drag down past the end of the script box till you select some text bellow. Now you have selected the hole script, copy it.

open text edit, paste in the script. Crop off the extra text above and bellow the script

then copy a space from the document. Preferable from between two words.

open the find dialog box in text edit. click on the find field. hold down command and hit a. (select all) now paste the space you have just copied from the field. Even though the find field looks empty it now contains the hidden character "#".

Bellow the fiend field there is a replace field. click on that field, select all ( command + a) now hit the space bar. Now the replace field contains the space character.

now click on the "find replace all" button. The document may look the same. But now all the # have been replaced with " ".

close the fiend dialog box

now select all one more time. and then copy

now you can paste into sl with out the # showing up.

ps I have a working copy of this script in game. With the note card modification working. Feel free to im me in game, and i'll send you a copy.

I followed this exact list, in more than one try, I even logged in and off a few times, but I couldn't get this to work. The vendor prim doesn't take payments, the button prims don't change the rezed object, absolutely nothing works except for the rotation of the model. What can I possibly be doing wrong?

I have listed a multi-author vendor kit on SLExchange.com that anyone can use to get this vendor system up and running within a few minutes. Most people who have problems getting the scripts working find it to be of incredible value.

The kit is fully open-source, just like the scripts themselves. It includes a working vendor, tutorial notecard and tools to help you along the way.

You can get it here

Thanks for these great scripts. They save n00bs a heap of time.

I have a (possibly silly) question about usage. I understand how to use the scripts, but in order to make display models for my vendor I need to resize the original objects for sale so that they are small enough to fit my vendor.
To do that I simply hold CTRL&SHIFT and drag a white corner resize handle. However, for some reason it won't let be size some models small enough. I'm not sure, but it looks like the SL editor won't got below 0.5.
So my question is; how do you uniformly resize your models? Is there some way with a script?
Thanks.

You can shrink a linked group until the smallest object in the group reaches minumum size (.01M on any axis). It sounds like the models you're having trouble with have a prim that has reached this minimum. The only solution is to rebuild the model.

I am trying to set up this script, I have everything working great, except my item it on its side. I have messed with the number for how the items sits in relation to the parent, but they don't seem to rotate the item. Any suggestions? Thanks

hide a small prim inside your model object and link it last you can rotate
that to get the Z (blue) axis up

I've set this script up and EVERYTHING is working great, except it can't find the items when someone pays it - but I have checked and double-checked the item names, even changed then to things like 'a'...

Wondering if I have to have certain permissions checked?

Wish there was an easier way to set rotation, it ignores the values from the original object. The little invisible prim works, but it's a pain in the ass.

// rez the new model
llRezObject(llList2String(models, currentItem), llGetPos() + rezPosition, ZERO_VECTOR, ZERO_ROTATION, commChannel);

This is line where the rotation will have to be changed.. The rezPosition will only set if the object is to the right/left... forward/back... up/down...

replace ZERO_ROTATION with llEuler2Rot(( <45, 0, 0> )DEG_TO_RAD) this lets you use simple degrees for the rotations

llRezObject(llList2String(models, currentItem), llGetPos() + rezPosition, ZERO_VECTOR, llEuler2Rot(( <45, 0, 0> )DEG_TO_RAD), commChannel);

It really is much easier to put the invisible cube thing on the display instead, since you can copy it, with the display script in it, set to the right rotation, then simply rename it. Otherwise if one display is rotated wrong one way and another some other way you'll never get them all to go right without some fancy scripting.

Another easy way to set rotation is, in the display model's on_rez() event:

llSetRot(llEuler2Rot(<x,y,z> * DEG_TO_RAD));

I still think it's easier to attach the model to a properly-rotated root prim though. I personally like to put my display models "inside" a larger transparent cylinder. You can see it in person at Busy Ben's Abbotts Aerodrome display... turn on highlight alpha.

How do I disable the timer? Is it a matter of commenting out code? If so, which lines? Thanks.

You can disable the timer by setting this line:

float changeTimer = 300.0;

to this:

float changeTimer = 0;

I was wondering if anyone had a script to work with Apotheus Silverman's Multi-Item, Multi -Author Vending script. Basically im looking for a script that would either (preferable) make both next and prev buttons have an image displayed of the next and the pervious item while the current item is rezzed spinning in the middle. I hope i have made this reletively clear..


If this is not possible. Maybe one could just have a seperate display screen above or next to the rezzed object. That displays a second view of the rezzed object. I have seen other display scripts but im not quite sure how to get it to "flow' with Apotheus Silverman's script. If anyone can help it would be really really appriciated thanks sooo much again guys

Hiya I would know to know if these scripts can be used to make a non-holo vendor, much like a regular vender that has images you scroll through with the next/back buttons. Holo vendors are wonderful but they are not so wonderful when you set one up and the display items kills your prim count. In the particular vendor I'm working on I don't want to use a rotating image because it will look cheesy.

Any suggestions?
TIA!

Hi, diggin up old threads...hehe. I need some help though.

Wondering if there is a way for the display to be payable.

Either that, or has someone got a modified one for an image version? I'm needing one for clothing sales. Thanks!

Is this thing working?
