Offline Indicator/ IM sender script?

Hey guys, i'm after some help. I have seen many offline/online indicator scripts in my travels around SL. I want one for my store incase when someone buys something if theres a problem with it,they can leave me an IM.

I am using a script i found on the forums:

/54/48/59350/1.html

This works perfectly ,in that it leaves me a message telling me "so and so is paging me from wherever". But.. it doesn't open an IM window for the person to leave me a message that i will recieve when i log back on. I only know that said person 'touched' my indicator,not the reasons why.

Is there some way of modifying this script so it will open an IM window to me when i'm offline and online come to think of it?

Many thanks.

You could have it start a listener on touch... so that it then IMs you anything it hears until whatever event you choose to end it with...

For instance ...

Indicator: Thank you for choosing to IM Avatar. Say "END" on a line of it's own to stop recording.
Player: er.. ok... um.. Hi there um..
Player: END
Indicator: Sending...

You could make a list, and add in the person's comments, then send them all as an IM when finished.

Perhaps start a timer event too in case the person walks off without saying anything.

Um, no, 'fraid not.

IM's from objects are treated as chat etc. from objects - they appear in the chat window and don't open IM windows, and they're not IMs from individuals.

There might be other ways around it - you could create a 'walkie talkie' object - it IMs you, your end IMs the person that's left you the message at your pager point, but to be honest I think it's not a smart way forward if you have several people using it.

You could have it IM you if you're in-world or email you if you're offworld.

Yes, but you still don't get the IM window open, which is what was asked for I think?

No, you don't get the IM window, but you can cut and paste from teh history window, or just have it email all the time... there's lots of options.
