Camping script busted

I am applying this script to various items, but there are two broken lines of code:
llGiveMoney(reciever,campmoney);

I don't want to post the entire script here, but if anyone can help me finger this out, I'll be most obliged!

Are you requesting and granting debit permissions? llGiveMoney wont function without it.

llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(), PERMISSION_DEBIT)

I have to say that it will be pretty much impossible to diagnose your scripting issue without seeing just a tad more of said script.

this is what I am getting now:

Bean Bag: NULL_KEY destination for llGiveMoney().


Another wierd thing, even after I removed the script from the object, there is still hovering text.. wth?

(a) It means that your "receiver" key is not being populated for some reason.

(b) Float text is a prim property, so stays until one removes it by using llSetText with an empty string.

I guess I should post the whole thing, since I found it googling LSL camping anyway..


integer campmoney = 0;
integer campadd = 1;
integer camptime = 900;
string reciever;
default {
state_entry() {
llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(),PERMISSION_DEBIT );
llSetText("Get Paid to Chill!,\nL$"+(string)campadd+" every 15 minutes",<0,1,0>,1);
llSitTarget(<0, 0, 0>, ZERO_ROTATION); // needed for llAvatarOnSitTarget to work
// Note that if both the vector and the rotation are zero,
// the SitTarget is removed instead of set and the following will not work:
}

changed(integer change) { // something changed
if (change & CHANGED_LINK) { // and it was a link change
//llSleep(0.5); // llUnSit works better with this delay
if (llAvatarOnSitTarget() != NULL_KEY) { // somebody is sitting on me
reciever = llAvatarOnSitTarget();
llSetText("Money:"+(string)campmoney,<0,1,0>,1);
llSetTimerEvent(camptime);
//llSay(0, "Get off!";
//llUnSit(llAvatarOnSitTarget()); // unsit him
}
else{
llGiveMoney(reciever,campmoney);
reciever="";
campmoney=0;
llSetText("Get Paid to Chill!,\nL$"+(string)campadd+" every 15 minutes",<0,1,0>,1);
llSetTimerEvent(100000000);
}
}
}
timer()
{
campmoney = campmoney+campadd;
llSetText("Money:"+(string)campmoney,<0,1,0>,1);
if (llAvatarOnSitTarget() != NULL_KEY)
{
}
else
{
reciever="";
campmoney=0;
llSetText("Get Paid to Chill!,\nL$"+(string)campadd+" every 15 minutes",<0,1,0>,1);
llSetTimerEvent(100000000);
}
}
}

llSitTarget(<0, 0, 0>, ZERO_ROTATION); // needed for llAvatarOnSitTarget to work

That will not work. At least one of the numbers in that vector needs to be nonzero.

I imagine that that won't work as

llSitTarget(<0, 0, 0>, ZERO_ROTATION);

actually _removes_ the sit target. It has to have a non-zero-vector first component. Something like llSitTarget(<0, 0, 0.01>, ZERO_ROTATION); will do.

Also, "receiver" is spelt incorrectly, though that wouldn't actually stop it working. (It is a messy script generally but not inefficiently so.)

thx. I set this to 0,0,0.1 and I'm sitting face down now.. I'll fiddle with it until I finger out how to make it look ok.. perhaps I need to place a sitting poseball on the beanbag, and apply the script to that.




I've tried this a few ways with a new script, but I keep getting a syntax error..

I appreciate the help, guys! I've done html, css, and php for a decade but this is my first time diving into LSL.. seems to be eaasy to pick up tho!

Also, use llSetTimerEvent(0.0) to cancel the timer - don't give it a ginormous number.

llSetText("", ZERO_VECTOR, 0.0) should remove float text from a prim - you can just put that into state_entry, then delete it.

llSitTarget defines both the position and the rotation of whoever sits on the object relative to the prim the script is in, so if that prim is rotated oddly then yes, you could end up sitting in an odd position. The best solution is usually to just rotate the prim back. Alternatively, you can play with the rotation parameter of llSitTarget (the second one) - something like, oh, llSitTarget(<0.0, 0.0, 0.01>, llEuler2Rot(<PI_BY_TWO, 0.0, 0.0>) - but that does mean knowing a bit about rotations, which are a pig, so I would rotate the prim if I were you.

For the text thing: llSetText("", <0,0,0>, 0);

...I also think: string reciever; should be declared as: key reciever;

The same error you got before??

One thing not mentioned about the sit target is that if you remove it, llAvatarOnSitTarget will _always_ return NULL_KEY, even if there's somebody sitting on the object.

The reason you get a syntax error at llGiveMoney() is because your receiver variable has to be a key, you have it set as a string, so:

instead of:

string receiver;


use:


key receiver;
