Looking for a split proceeds script that...

...doesn't have to be put inside a vendor or an object that sells contents. I want to sell some artwork and have a split proceeds script inside it, that way if I hire a salesperson to sell my work, then the person who buys the artwork (it will be limited edtion work so they'll be buying the original and not a copy), will be able to buy the original object, then the script inside splits the proceeds, then will delete itself upon the sale of the item.

I checked SLX but the only scripts over there you have to put it inside an object that sells its contents. Any idea if what I need exists and where I can get it? Thanks!

Hi, Esch,

If I understand what you're after, then there's no way to do the specific thing you've asked.

When a purchaser buys a "sell original" item, there's a system-level direct transfer of L$ from purchaser to you, as the item changes owners. There's no API into that event for a script to intercept and split out.

In addition, any script inside the art object would change owners as the object itself did, and would have to seek DEBIT_PERMISSION from the new owner to disburse any additional funds...permission which the new owner could simply decline to grant.

Ahhhhh, makes perfect sense. Thank you very much. I'll just have to do things the old fashioned way then.
