llGiveMoney Question

I have a few questions about this function that I cannot seem to find the answers for.


(1) Is there a way to temporarily disable this function on an object? Like, if you have an object in an "off" state, making it impossible to use the pay function and then be able to re-enable it again by turning the state "on".


(2) When permission is given to an object to debit your L$ account, if you go offline, will the device still be able to debit L$ from your account?


(3) What happens when a Sim goes "offline" or reboots and you have a device designed to handle money and you're not there to give it permission again when it re-spawns and comes back online?


(4) Final question, when a Sim does go offline or reboot..... do objects rez themselves to their default states?


Thanks!

Yes, you can move to a state or set up a series of IF statements making it so that the function can not be called at certain times or under certain circumstances.


Yes.


They are brought back up with the grid in the last state they were in before the crash, with all permissions that had been set before the crash.


No, they stay in the state they were prior to the sim crash.

(1) You can switch to a different state with no money event. Read the "Notes" on this page though: http://secondlife.com/badgeo/wakka.php?wakka=money I'm not sure if this bug still exists, better safe than sorry though.

(2) Yes

(3) The sims are pretty good (to my knowledge) at keeping up with the current state/status of everything in the event of a crash. Everything should return the same as when the sim went offline.

(4) Nope. No events fire when a sim comes back online from crash/reboot. To the script, nothing happened.
