Question about Pay and Money() and HUDs

Hi there...

I'm in the process of building a new HUD for my translator and I'd like to include a DONATE button that pays donations to me, the creator of the HUD

I have two issues and am wondering if anyone in the community can provide any insight or advice:

1) I'm finding that Pay and Money() don't work on attachments. That prevents users from left-clicking on my donate button while the HUD is attached and from using llSetPayPrice. Is there any way to have a user left-click a "Donate" button and bring up the Pay dialog?

2) Is there a method to set the script to pay me (the creator) when a user donates and not the user (the owner)? I know llGiveMoney will do it but not without DEBIT_PERMISSION which is somewhat intrusive.

Thanks in advance for any ideas

No and no. Sorry

The only way to do it is to have a donate button which, when left-clicked, asks for debit permission and then pays you some money.

And that is a very unfriendly solution. Most people, at least if they are smart, will not accept debit permissions from a script/object unless they trust the creator and past owners implicitly (which I guess many people do for some reason for vendors), or have full permissions on everything so they can examine the scripts.

How about offering a llMapDestination() to where they can donate. You could put up some cool stuff to see when they visit it too.

Yeah - thats what I was thinking, too... certainly not as elegant as a direct donation but better than a DEBIT_PERMISSIONS dialog screaming in my users faces.

Thank you both for your feedback!

Could it be scripted to show the creators Profile using an http call to secondlife.com/apps?
That way all the donor needs do is the hit the Pay button in the profile.
