Hi,

I'm looking for a "holographic" vendor but so far the systems I examined always lacked at least one feature I'd like to have. Seems like I have to do my own ... I've studied the WIKI some and I did some trials but there is one question that still remains ... maybe you can help me with it.

I know that when I rez an object that is *already* set to be temp it will rez as temp. This is the easy part but it would require me to keep different versions of my models in the vendor - I doubt my customers would take kindly to be sold no copy temp objects. :)

If I have a non temp object in the inventory of a box and rez it from that box and give it a parameter that will cause it to make itself temp in the on_rez event ... how will that effect the prim count of the place the vendor is in?

Will the prim usage counter register the newly rezzed object and then go to zero once the temp parameter is used or will it be zero all the time because it starts counting only after the on_rez event is complete? An answer to this question is kinda important because if I have an object with, say, 15 prims and try to rez it at a place with only 2 prims left it wouldn't rez if my first assumption is true and this is kinda bad for a vending system. :)

Edit: Since I am not that keen on scripting this blasted thing myself - if you know of a holo vendor with the following features I'd be happy to get a ready made one:

1. Info notecard per item for the potential buyer
2. Floating text for item description per item
3. Image display for promo image per item
4, Must be able to sell something else than displayed (boxed items problem)
5. Potential buyers will probably "sit" on the models - so no re-rez should occur while the object is still rezzed and used
6. Price to be paid pre-set
7. Adjustable split between at least two people
8. No (!) rotation of the holo model
9. Should be discreet and small :)

I sell one, for all of $50 (copiable) that does almost all of this. It comes with a display script that you can edit - it's one line to take out the rotation that's built in.

It doesn't quite do everything else on your list though.

The sell splitting is not built in by default, but if it's a constant split I can tweak that for you easily. If it more uneven we'll have to dicker price.

The not rerezzing will mean there are more listeners around, but it is doable if essential, again we'll have to dicker price.
