pay linden to other people?

This is kind of a vendor question I think.

All vendor objects work by you paying $L to the object, which gives the cash to the owner of the object, from what I understand.

Is it possible to have a script that pays to someone who isn't the owner?

I'm thinking about a portable vendor. If I have people working for me as door-to-door type salesmen, I want other users to be able to buy my objects from my salespeople but have the money go straight to me. At that point I distribute the pay to my salesmen.

I'm envisioning an object that my people have to wear, which gives them access to the items to sell. But since to attach an object to an avatar you have to own the object, I would need to have the vendor object send the payment to me instead of the person that owns the object.

You need llPay() along with the appropriate permissions. Follow the wiki link in my signature to find information about this.

Unfortunately, money transfers aren't too reliable.

llPay() doesn't exist, it's llGiveMoney().

I've never had llGiveMoney() fail, it's the money event that can't really be spoofed but does require you check they've paid the right amount!

hey, llGiveMoney is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

Try making an object that uses llGiveMoney() to pay a (willing subject) more money that you currently have.

Have the (willing subject) let you know if they got any money.

I garuntee it fails.

Hmm, I'm not sure I regard that as a failure... but OK, you cna't give more money than you own away...

Tell me . . . when an object goes into a no-script zone does the pay pie menu still show up? If so that's an issue too. If not . . . they'd need to be in a VERY laggy sim and have VERY good timing to get rid of the money before it pays if you pay < what you take in the money event.

you will also need to have the script request permission to pay out of the sales person's acct since all money that is paid to an object goes to the owner of they object. And preferably check those permissions b4 any sales transactions are allowed otherwise the salesperson could deny the permission and keep all $L from the sales.

It's a failure because the script isn't told that the money wasn't paid.

It means you can't, for example, write a script that pays a weekly subscription for something. A buyer could pass it to an alt, give all the alt's money to the main account, and then the subscription object couldn't tell that its owner couldn't afford the subscription.
