Pay someone other than the owner

This may be a silly question but is it possible to make a payball that does not pay the owner of the object. For instance you sell something that you want to charge a subscription to and have the item accept the money for convinience.

By default all money paid to an object goes to the owner of that object. If you want to pay someone else you could add additional code which forwards the money from the owner to the intended recipient as a second step.

So it would go to the owner first then you would pull it out of the owners account again and send it on?

Yes. So the script needs to request debit permissions from the owner, because it's debiting the owner's account and paying someone else.

If you're wanting to understand how to script this kind of thing, have a look at these two...

money event
...and...
llGiveMoney function

Ok correlary question. What would happen with a group owned item? How would debit permissions get set, or can they be set to pull money out? Say for instance i sell the item to Bob. Then bob deeds it to his group 'Bob's Group'. I want bob to be able to pay the object his subscription fee to me. Would the script even be able to work now that Bob's group is the owner?

if i remember it isn't working with deeded objects
