llGiveMoney: Paying other residents while offline?

Hi everybody.

if a resident pays me money i use llGiveMoney to pay a part of it to the land owner, who allowed me to put my terminal on his land.

it is really annoying that i have to permit the money transfer(llRequestPermissions) everytime someone pays.

first of all i am not always online, and certainly it is annoying..

is there a chance that i do not have to permit the transaction?

thx

You don't need to call llRequestPermissions for each transaction. Call it once in state_entry, and those permissions should remain in effect until the script is reset. Just include a check for the proper permissions before calling llGiveMoney, to avoid potential script errors e.g.

if( llGetPermissions() & PERMISSION_DEBIT )
    llGiveMoney( blah blah );

EDIT: Deanna's post covers this but for some weird reason didnt show up on my screen until after I posted!

You only ever need to give permissions once, unless you are either resetting the script or changing permissions to do something else post requesting debit permissions.

What is your terminal doing and when? When do you request the debit permissions?

i am about to open a lottery... so far everything works perfect...just this tiny thing is missing...

after a resident picked his numbers and sent it to my db the script will be put to reset. so i guess this is the problem here. the llScriptReset() function....damn

i need to, because all the variables need to be reset and the terminal need to be unblocked. i added a timer. during the picking process the terminal is blocked for other residents.when the resident leaves or finishes his play the script will be reset and the terminal is free again for the next one....

so what am i supposed to do now?

Well you dont need to reset the script to do that.
Just reinitialise all the variables.
What you are doing isnt exactly so complex that you cannot work out what needs to be reset and where.

well that's true ^^. thx newgate will post tomorrow if it worked

wish you both a nice saturday

well now i replaced llResetScript with my own function, which btw JUST sets a few variables back to their root values....

but now i have the problem that llemail does not work anymore. usually, after a resident pressed "send" i send an email to a server, which raises the jackpot, and sends this amount to all terminals which show this above, via llSetText.....

how is that related to each other????? i do not get it......

it is definitly because of my new function....my untouched script still works fine....

thx

Tomfox, Your post is not complete enough for us to be able to help you debug your code.
Check exactly what your new function is doing, is your email address being reset?

If you sending an email and expecting the same script to receive the reply, perhaps the 20 sec script delay after sending your email is catching you out? I usually put my email calls in separate scripts and send them link messages with the stuff to email.

yeah...sorry.....the llEmail problem is solved...But here is a new one.....

here is the thing...as you said, if i use llResetScript i need to confirm that my terminal transfers money via llGiveMoney, eerytime. So i wrote my own function "reset()", which sets back all the variables.

BUT: it is still not working....i need to confirm it after each play.....why?

thx

TomFox,
In the segments code you have deleted, do you request any other permissions?

hello newgate,

i guess with other permissions you mean predefined constants from lsl, right? no i do not...
just deleting all pciked numbers and stuff the script has to do when a button is clicked...

No I mean do you make any calls to llRequestPermissions

Looking at the posted code, you dont appear switch back to state default?

ohh....no i don't.....

i switch to default in the listening() function...after a resident presses "send"...i thought this is the problem, right? cause i put the requestpermission in the state_entry in default..

so the terminal asks everytime....

if i do not switch to default...i can not start over again

that would be the reason you would be being asked every time but I dont think you can switch state from within a function, only from within an event handler directly.

use states instead of resetting?

I agree with Shippou, add an extra state, request perms in default, then switch state to the init/idle state and use it to reseteverything on state_entry.

so i use the default state just for perms and switch between both OTHER states? well i thought everything has to start within default...

maybe u can help me out with a little code....thx

You already know how to do it Tomfox.
Yes every script must have a default state but yours will have, all you are doing is pushing everything bar permissions down into a second state

Pseudo Code

default
{
   state_entry()
   {
       SetPermissions();
       state Idle;
   }
}

state Idle
{
   state_entry()
   {
       ResetParameters();
   }
    
   // All other handlers that where part of default
}

state Payed
{
    // A|s was - but now switch back to state Idle NOT default.
}

thank you all so much....especially newgate....it worked.....
