Problems with permission settings - please help

Hello there,

has anybody a good idea how to solve the following problem ?

I plan to do some mini-prefabs like pre-designed setups to be used at your rental booth. It has some nice architecture, respects the usual prims limits for rented mall space and comes with predesigned boxes/displays to act as vendors.

I would love to give my customers the permission to setup the thing up once, fill and price all the vendors, then link the whole thing and take it to their inventory. Then they go out and place a copy of the whole setup at each booth they rented, unlink it (for the boxes to act as seperate vendor displays) and thats it. Easy going ... at least theoretically.

The prob with SL permissions is, if I give them mod, copy, no transer the boxes can not be turned into vendors. The next owner needs "transfer" permission to set the "For sale" option. But with transfer permission I can't give copy permission as well or I will see my own stuff for sale on their vendors the next day... and without copy permission the whole "setup once, rez it everywhere" idea is dead.

Main traget group for the thing is newbies / new merchants wanting to start a business without much building hassle ... so any possible solution should be easy to do for new members ...

Please tell me that there is a solution and I do not need to give full permissions ...

Thanks in advance!

Eliphas.

"...the boxes can not be turned into vendors."

I may have the wrong end of the stick, but why does the permissions of the vendor matter? Surely it's only the contents (which I assume belong to your customers) that have to be saleable? Can't a mod, copy, no trans vendor contain an object to which I (the owner) have full perms?

Most vendors rely on llGiveInventory to dispense their goods. So long as the owner of the object being given has full perms I can't see there being a problem. Or are the 'vendors' in fact unscripted boxes?

Is there any scripting involved in this question?

There are also free vendors around (for example Hiro Pendragons' Super Vendor) which you could include in your package with full perms.

Well, you can script the boxes to accept money paid directly to them, and to give their contents to the person who paid the money.

You'd have a "Pay" option on the right-click menu rather than a "Buy" option. This gets around the non-transfer problem because the customer will receive the contents of the box but not the box itself.

Thx for the answers .... as far as I know most Newbies are a bit afraid to handle scripts so I tried to avoid it, but I looks like there's no other way to do it.
