Ah...my bad, I should've reviewed the method signature for the money() event rather than posting off the top of my head. I've been away from scripting for a month, and it shows :(

The money event comes in as
CODE

 money(key giver, integer amount) {
     
    }


So, the llDetected... methods aren't suitable. To refund, assuming you'd set a constant called REQUIRED_AMOUNT, you'd do something like:

CODE

money( key giver, integer amount )  {
   if ( amount != REQUIRED_AMOUNT ) {  
        llGiveMoney( giver, amount );
        // explanatory message, etc.
   }


Sorry about the false info...

If you're still having trouble, I posted an example on the scripting wiki. It's free to use, so do with it what you will. :)

You need the PERMISSION_DEBIT so your object can give your L$ to the person, otherwise it will only be able to receive money.
