Next Button Script

I have looked on SLexchange and found this script to be 600L. I don't know anything about scripting on SL but I don't believe it's worth 600L. All I'm looking for is a script that I can place in an object thats attached to stand and I can click on the button to move from pose to pose. It's really an animation preview stand, I'm just needing the "next" script that goes into the button.

Does anyone know where I can get one?

Are you looking for a script to let you step thru from one animation/pose to the next or from one page of dialog buttons to the next? They are two very different things but you can find scripts posted in this forum for either. Most good pose scripts will have some simple method to move from pose to pose.

Here are two exaples, one of each type

Are you looking for a free script or are you looking to learn?

If you are looking for a free script then this is totally unfair, especially considering that you are a content creator, have your own store and are selling your items, not giving them away for free. Where is the parity? If the item does what you want and only cost $2.25 US then it is "worth" it. The only other alternative it to sit down and learn how to do it yourself.

Apologies if you are interested in learning. No apologies if you are not.

@Jesse, I never did say that I didn't want to pay for the script. I am not that low, I stated in my post that I was NOT going to pay 600L for it. I do not believe that a simple script like that is worth that amount of lindens. 100L or 200L maybe, but not 600L, thats more than what I charge for my outfits.

@Ravanne, thank you for your help. What I was looking for was just the "next" or "back" script that you found in the many vendors left and right prims. All you do is click on it and it goes to the next/back to the pose that I want to view. I'm creating a modeling stand for my models.

I do find that many scriptors are very proud of their work, and they should be if they created something big and complex. I used to script for an online server and I know simple and complex, what should be and shouldn't be. Many over charge for them when they are simple little scripts like this, Jesse, you seem to be one of those that do, judging from your comment.

I am not a scriptor on SL, I am a designer, I do not appreciate being judged just because I said I didn't want to pay 600L for a simple script such as this. I am willing to pay 200L max, nothing more, and I found a vendor that I could take those scripts out of for that amount.

You are saying that your only going to apologize if I'm willing to learn and your not if I'm not going too? That's highly unfair to me, when I'm willing to pay up to 200L for something like this. I do not have the time to learn scripting in SL on top of my designing, that doesn't count my real life.

Whoa Back off, I do not charge for any scripts at all. All I ever do is help people learn.

This forum is called Scripting Tips and it's ONLY purpose is for people learning to script. If you are not looking to learn then you need to post in Products Wanted.

what you must realize Nella, is that this forum is directed to a particular purpose: teaching lsl scripting, and providing help with isues related to that.

most of the scriptors here do business inworld, and many check the products wanted forum for jobs as well.

if this forum became a place to advertise for desired products, we would quickly be deluged in requests for those scripts, and it would foment a reclusive and unhelpful atmosphere within the forum due to fear of poaching and having to scroll through what amounts to a job board.

just as you wouldn't burst into a designers workroom, or a school, asking for a particular piece of clothing to be made, it's also inappropriate here. the correct forum for such requests IS products wanted, and we'd ALL appreciate it if you directed future requests there.

the "next" buttons i use dont have a script at all
just get the name of the linked object.

as for price 600L = $2.16 well worth the time in sure some put into a script to sell
even my no script button took time to figure out and script to get the name of the button

Nella, please consider the following statement: "I don't know anything about clothing design, but i don't think your clothes are worth what you charge for them." You said you were a clothes designer. How would it make you feel if someone said something like that to you?

Another point in case here: A script usually doesn't sell as often as a clothing item, especially if the script is sold as copy version. Which means you can set a lower price point for a clothing item that will sell 500 times than a scripter can for a script that will sell 50 times, even if the amount of time invested was the same.

The thing about SL scripts is, you get what you pay for. Granted, you pay too much sometimes, but think about it this way:

LSL is a scripting language, comparable to any other scripting language, and actually more difficult than many. I personally find PHP, for example, to be much easier to work than LSL, due to the myriad of limitations applying to the latter. Now, consider that somebody with a solid understanding of LSL could apply the same understanding to any web scripting language and be making no less than $15 / hour freelancing or working for a web development firm. Also consider that you're looking for a script that you're hoping to use to sell your products, meaning that even if you aren't selling the script directly, you're using it as a sales tool to make a profit.

Also considering the amount of time you're devoting to opening a store, the investment in a premium account and land, not to mention other development tools and possibly commissioning a store design, I don't see how you could possibly consider $2.25 an unreasonable one-time investment. That's still cheaper than a bottle of Fiji / grande Starbucks iced coffee / alternative yuppie beverage of choice. However simple you might think the script is, if you can't do it yourself, nobody owes it to you for free.

15$/h is a pretty low figure for a skilled programmer actually. Maybe after taxes and all expenses.

Simple or complex has nothing to do with it. A script is worth what someone who needs it is willing to pay. I wrote a very simple texture changing script that I sold copy/mod (to a friend) for 3k. Why, because her plan was to place it in all her furniture so that her furniture would all have the ability to change textures. Why did I charge her 3k? Because she intended to make money off of it every time she sells a couch or chair. If she just wanted it for herself, I'd have given it to her, but, since she intended to make money off of it, I sold it to her for a pretty hefty price. The complexity of the script had nothing to do with it. Need and usage determines how much a a script is worth, not how complex it is. The fact that you're unwilling to pay $600L for it means you're need isn't all that great. If it was, you'd have just bought it and went home rather than complain about it being overpriced here. If it's so simple, why don't you just write it yourself? If you're not a scripter, you're not in a position to determine how easy or hard something must be to script.

eh web programming never seems to pay as much. interestingly that's pretty close to what I've seen for entry level interface (not actual code) debuggers.

I JUST wrote this script the other day in another thread:

There you go!
