llSetPayPrice question.

i'm trying to define the allowed prices in SetPayPrice by a variable, but it doesn't seem to change accordingly...here's the relevant script:

    money(key id, integer amount)
    {
        price = (2*count);
        llSetPayPrice(PAY_HIDE, [price, 2*price, 5*price, 8*price]);
        llSay(0, "Thank you.");
    }

(The variable is a valid integer)

I'm beginning to think it's not possible to dynamically change the prices (not sure if i used the right terminology)...and if it's not possible, is there any sort of work around you guys can think of? Thanks.

I think the problem is that this function is inside the money event handler. try moving it out of it

I was able to use this sucessfully in my own quick test:

integer price = 1;

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSetPayPrice(PAY_HIDE, [price, 2*price, 5*price, 8*price]);
    }

    money(key id, integer amount) {
    }
}

this worked, the pay options displayed were "1,2,5,8"

i might not be on the correct frame of mind but are you setting the pay prices before the money event? cause that only fires once the object is actually paid

I think the idea is to dynamically change the pay price options each time the object is paid. I haven't tried this, so I don't know if it'll work or not. But if it works, it could be used to do some interesting games. Not sure what though Some kind of variable betting game maybe.

You need to set the pay price BEFORE the money event is called...as choosing the "pay" option will bring up a pay-screen before prices can be set from within the money event.

So you can do this;

integer price = 1;

default 
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSetTimerEvent(0.1);
    }
    money(key id, integer amount)
    {
        price = 2*price;
        llSay(0, "Thank you.");
        llSetTimerEvent(0.1);
    }
    timer()
    {
        llSetTimerEvent(0);
        llSetPayPrice(PAY_HIDE, [price, 2*price, 5*price, 8*price]);
    }
}

im sry but that timer event make me stand up and walk away for a moment ....

heres a progressive gadget, its not fully functional it just multiplys X 2 5 and 8 each time its paid but it might be a point in the right direction

integer price = 1;

integer one;
integer two;
integer three;
integer four;

set_money()
{llSetPayPrice(PAY_HIDE,[one,two,three,four]);}

set_values()
{
    two   = two * 2;
    three = three * 5;
    four  = four * 8;
    set_money();
}
  

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        one  = price; 
        two   = price *2; 
        three = price *5; 
        four   = price *8; 
        set_money();
    }
    
    money(key id, integer amount)
    {
        set_values();
        llSay(0, "Thank you.");
    }
} 

thanks, i figured out the problem (i was a little too quick to post, sry), which was that the money event is triggered once money is paid to the object, and thus the values would change only after the user would pay. Thank you for the quick and informative replies!!
