=============================
These are based on the old time cast-iron novelty coin banks from... you know? that time before computers and such? ;) When someone pays the bank, a coin appears on it. Then an animated object comes out to pick up the coin.
In the Striking Snake tip jars, a snake strikes out very quickly. In the Disembodied Hand version, the lid slowly creaks open and a hand reaches out to pick up the coin.
Get more tips as people pay to see the animation again! (Or at least get a lot of 1L donations after the first one. :X )
Plus, these use minimum prims. Striking Snake uses only TWO prims, Disembodied Hand uses THREE. The Snake/Hand parts are temp-on-rez and only spawned when needed, then immediately deleted.
The base is modifyable, if you want to change textures, or add rocks and such to the snake den. Make sure you don't change the size/proportions of the root prim; this may cause the animated parts not to fit in it properly.
The scripts (except the text handler) and temp object are not editable.
Customizeable Display Text: the floating text script is fully editable, if you want to change it. By default it reads "[Your Name]'s Tip Jar," and keeps a running total of collected tips (once one is paid).
You can change the name displayed and the label; add a sub-title; show or hide the 'last donated' and 'total donations' lines. You can change the opacity and text colour (use your own custom colour, or select from 28 presets). Or remove text altogether. You can even remove the text handler script and put in your own favorite tip jar script, if you want!
Enjoy!
