Im building a houseing community with rentals, Im using the hippo system, It will evicte the rentor after the term is up. Question is im guessing will I need to subdivde each lot the house is on, is this true ? Im also going to need locking doors, i cant figure out how the house will know who the renter is, guessing am going to need to create groups for that, is that true ?

And Im I even on the right track for that matter ?

thanks

there are doors out there that have "lists" of people who can use them. Linking them with a custom rent box would be the best bet in my opinion, so once rent's up, the door can no longer be opened by that person. Subdeviding the land into lost is optional, (asuming your on Mainland) doing this, you could rename it to "Person's Name's Lot", and set custom music.

I would advise you to subdivide each plot, you can still have it deeded to the same group so that prims are shared but by dividing your plots you allow each of your tenants the ability to have their own media which is a great PLUS for them.

Im not familiar with the Hippo system but all GOOD sysytems shout out a command with the avis Key when "events" happen such as "lease started", "lease ended"
If this is the case with the Hippo system then it would be easy to create a script to "add" or "remove" a resident from the doors admin list.

Tina,

Andy released a coordinated door script to be used with the Hippo system a couple of days ago. You can find it on slexchange.

http://www.slexchange.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=171935

Also if you know your way around scripting you could make one yourself by listening on the SDK channel. Ask Andy for the SDK notes, but they are very limited and you'll have to do some discovering yourself. For 200L I don't think you could go wrong with the door script. If you prefer rolling your own, contact me in game and I can give you the messages you need to listen for.

Also, Andy is pretty responsive to his customers, so don't hesitate to contact him.

thanks,

Tracy

Hi Tina,

I also IMed you inworld, but you were offline, so am posting here too --- I can drop you a modded version of that door script that autocloses if you wish ... it's also released as an open source script, so any friend who scripts could also add that for you.

Best wishes,

Andy
