H all,

I am making a vendor that has an option to split money with several persons.
The script works fine but only when the script pays the persons it
split with i get for every person the blue popup.

I know i can disable all all notify for money sent or received in preference but is
there a way or a workaround that i block this notice only for the vendor?

Probably, assuming that you have permission to modify the script. It's hard to say how without seeing the script itself, though. The blue popup will be created by a llDialog statement somewhere, so examine the script to find it, and then look to see how the first parameter (the ID of the person to who a response is directed) is defined.

I don't understand it as a dialog pop up, isn't it the 'You paid N L$x' pop up?

That's how I read the question too Dora. If that's what the OP is asking about, the answer is no: you can't prevent anyone who has that notification enabled from receiving the notification, nor can you selectively disable it for yourself. Either you turn off all notifications of payment received or you get all of them.

Yup. You're right. I misread it. That window generated by llPay is all or nothing. :o

I know that the option in the current viewer is either on or off for payment notification... but wasn't there a threshold value at one point? and is it still available via debug? that might be an option for OP.

I can find a setting for UISndMoneyChangeThreshold ('Amount of change in L$ balance required to trigger "money" sound' -- and why it is a floating point value I do not understand) but the only thing you can do with "NotifyMoneyChange" as far as I can see is set it to true or false.

that must be what I was thinking of then.... does the money still sound if notify is off? that'd be one way to stay aware while not being bothered by popups

What the OP doesn't understand is that the way split vendors (have) to work, the full amount gets paid to the script owner, and then payouts are done via the script to the split receivers. The only way to block it is to completely turn off notifications.

One possible work around would be to give the vendor to an alt, and let the alt act as the 'bank'. That way, the OP could leave notifications on, and simply log in once in a while to transfer Lindens from the alt account to his regular account.

Thanks all for your answers:)

i indeed mean the popup screen of llGiveMoney.
i hoped somebody did know a way to disable this popup for only 1 object.

If you split the money with 10 persons you get 11 popups (1 for receive money and 10 for paying the people you split with) and that get be very annoying if you have lot of vendors and sell a lot.

so far i know understand its all or nothing or use an alt.

pretty much, although IF the money sound still works when notifications are turned off, then that might be less intrusive, while still alerting you that money is being moved (although not the exact amount.)

I favor the alt method myself. you could then have the script determine what's left and pay you directly, if you wanted one notice for each item sold (instead of all the splits) assuming you want that notification. or it could merely track that amount and pay you out from the alt on some schedule.
