Allright so this is basically my last step in getting help since ive basically tried to look everywhere possible but i just cant find a tutorial that will help,

Basically this is whats going on, i have one box as the 'client' which will let you pay 10L$ and then take that person's name and shoot it off to the other box which is the 'server' you name will get added to a list and as soon as that list fills up, maybe 100 or 200 slots, the 'server' will randomly select 1 or 2 names and pay them some money, the part im stuck on is how to get the client box's to communicate with the server if ANYONE can please help it would be greatly appreciated =]]] thank you soooo much

(Hoping the raffle is for a good cause...) Even if the clients and server will all be in the same sim--and certainly if they're not--you might use llEmail() since the traffic should be very light, especially from the originating clients. You will want to authenticate that the email came from a valid client--the email will include the originator's UUID, and could be compared against a list of known good clients... but the UUID would change if the client ever had to be Taken into Inventory. Same problem with the server: if its UUID ever changes, the clients' emails will be addressed to the wrong UUID.

More elaborate schemes might use crypto-based authentication and/or a web server.

so lets say the clients would post to a mysql database then the server just read from that every hour or so to check if it is full?

if this is possible how..?
if someone has some time and would sit down with me in SL or on some IM program and tut me that would really help =]
