Do you know what you are buying?

Larrie Lane had a few problems and suggestions for my customized vendors. They were looking at the products on different panels. They right mouse clicked and paid an individual picture.


Larrie didn’t intend to buy the product featured on the main preview screen. They were trying to pay for one of the other products featured on the panels that wasn’t currently selected. When right-clicking and selecting “Pay”, the Fast Pay box said says Pay Resident Dedric Mauriac Via Obect [BETA] Custom Shop OnRez 8.


Using the script I made to hand out notecards from on-rez vendors, I was able to change the name of the vendor each time the object preview panel changed. Now the Fast Pay box said says Pay Resident Dedric Mauriac Via Obect Visitor Counter (OnRez Vendor).


One other part that Larrie mentioned was making it easier for people to understand how to purchase products through the vendor. This is all good avice that the OnRez folks could probably make use of. Thankfully, the vendors are friendly enough to scripters to be customized for better user interaction.

string lastProduct;
string notecardServer = “ac397da7-82f8-fc28-ea25-02aec84accf0@lsl.secondlife.com”;
default
{
touch_start(integer total_number)
{
integer i;
for(i = 0; i if(llGetLinkName(llDetectedLinkNumber(i)) == “Preview”)
llEmail(notecardServer, (string)llDetectedKey(i) + lastProduct, “”);
}
link_message(integer sender, integer num, string msg, key id)
{
if(num != 1140) return;
integer i = llSubStringIndex(msg, ” - “);
if(i == -1) return;
msg = llGetSubString(msg, i + 3, -1);
i = llSubStringIndex(msg, “\n”);
if(i == -1) return;
msg = llGetSubString(msg, 0, i - 1);
lastProduct = msg;
llSetObjectName(lastProduct + ” (OnRez Vendor)”);
}
}
