Allow newbies only to purchase?

Hello,

I will be opening an in-world store soon, and I would like to offer a 'freebie' set to newbies to help them ease into SL.

Does a script exist which would allow only avatars less than 30 days old to 'purchase' the product? Much in the same way that only newbies can pick L$ from the money trees?

I've tried searching the forums, but haven't found anything; maybe I'm not using the correct search terms.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks,

Ianni

What you need to do is run a script that does:

llRequestAgentData(id, DATA_BORN);


And then compare the timestamp between the date born and the current date to get an age.

If you need a script put together to do these functions and give an inventory list to anyone under a certain age I can hack one together for you pretty quick (I sell a n00b ejector that sends people under a certain age home if they try to get into 'age-restricted' parcels/sims and th script would basically be almost identical...just reversed). It won't be free...but it won't cost you much.

Of course, if you want to build it yourself...just remember that when you do an llRequestAgentData() you have to retrieve the data through a dataserver event.

But note, you'll only be able to use this restriction on "scripted" transactions, i.e. those using the "Pay" option. There's no way for script to restrict the "Buy" option.

Deanna is right.

Of course...you can just use a touch_start() instead of a pay.

i wrote this one up a few months ago for a noobie friendly place ... feel free to grab anything usefull

Thanks for the ideas everyone!

Osgeld, I'll give that script a try! Thanks!
