Hi is it possible to add a script that makes for instance a chair only available for a period of time? I mean that it's either dissapering from the inventory or is just not possible to rezz.

Almost like renting that it get's redelivered to the me as a rent... whats the word... rentee... renter? Anyway the one that rent outs an item a sofa or whatever.

Thankfull for any suggestions, help yeah... basically anything!

You could maybe have a box that rezzes the rental item for a set period of time, then kills it off and deletes it from it's inventory so it can no longer rez. Make it no copy. Whaaalah! I think that'd work... Doesn't sound too involved.

You could make it 'no copy' so the object won't stay in inventory when rezzed, and then add a script to make the object llDie() after a specific time or date.

^ Or that... yea, that sounds simpler. Didn't occur to me at first...
Then if they try to rez it after the expiration date it instantly evaporates. POOF! Haha...

the rental box that rezzes it sounds like a better idea. the problem with giving someone a no copy item with a timed die script, they can easily rez it on no script land and remove the script. i haven't tried it to see. there was a discussion about whether you can delete scripts from a no-mod object. IF YOU CAN'T, the work around for that would be to make sure the script is copiable. so if they try to remove it by "opening" the object and copying to inventory, it still leaves a copy of the script in the object
