Introducing the Smart Tip Jar LSL Script (Copy/Mod) — a sleek, efficient, and fully customizable tipping system designed specifically for Second Life creators, DJs, performers, and venue owners. This script is ideal for anyone who wants a smooth, professional, and reliable way to accept donations or tips with a personal touch.
Modified by Jubaerk, this version adds enhanced functionality and flexibility to your traditional tip jar setup. With features like default pay options, customizable hovertext, and automatic thank-you messages, it ensures your visitors enjoy a seamless tipping experience while you stay in full control of your setup. Whether you’re managing a club, hosting live events, or simply collecting support for your creative work, this script provides a refined solution to handle transactions with ease and style.
At its core, the Smart Tip Jar Script is built around Second Life’s secure payment system. The script automatically recognizes when someone pays your object, processes the tip, and sends a personalized acknowledgment to the tipper. It even displays the owner’s name dynamically, ensuring that every copy of your tip jar feels personal and polished.
One of the standout features of this script is the custom pay choice list. Instead of relying on static or default Linden Lab payment buttons, you can predefine the amounts that users see when they right-click and choose "Pay." This gives you complete control over how much you want to suggest to your tippers. For example, you can set it to show buttons like L$100, L$200, L$400, and L$500, or edit the list to your own preferred values — perfect for different event scales or venues.
Another thoughtful addition is the default pay value system. The first option is automatically selected when someone opens the payment menu, ensuring quick and effortless tipping. You can set this default to any amount that fits your audience or venue’s typical donation size, giving users an instant and intuitive payment experience.
Aesthetic customization is also a priority. The hovertext display on the tip jar object clearly shows the owner’s name, making it easy for tippers to know who they’re supporting. You can change the hovertext color using RGB vector values, allowing it to match your theme, environment, or brand colors. For example, <1,0,0> gives you red text, <0,1,0> gives green, <1,1,1> gives white, and so on — total creative freedom in how your jar looks in-world.
The Smart Tip Jar Script is lightweight and performance-friendly. It does not store unnecessary data, ensuring your Second Life region remains lag-free even if multiple jars are active at once. The script resets cleanly upon rezzing, which means it automatically updates ownership and prepares itself to receive payments without any manual setup.
The money() event is designed with both efficiency and user engagement in mind. Every time someone donates, the system records the total tips received during the session and sends a friendly thank-you message directly to the tipper. This small personal touch helps create a positive experience, encouraging more generosity and connection between performer and audience.
Additionally, because this script comes with Copy and Modify permissions, you can easily duplicate it for multiple setups or edit it to suit your own creative needs. Want to add sound effects, particles, or a leaderboard? The foundation is flexible enough to expand upon, making it ideal for scripters, club owners, and shopkeepers who love customization.
The Smart Tip Jar Script is perfect for:
Musicians and DJs who perform live and want a simple tipping solution.
Artists and creators displaying work at exhibitions or galleries.
Venue owners running clubs, cafés, or events that rely on donations.
Store owners wanting to provide customers with a quick donation or support button.
Anyone who values clean code, efficiency, and reliable LSL scripting performance.
In short, this is more than just another tip jar script — it’s a smart, customizable, and user-friendly donation tool that can adapt to your brand and audience. It keeps your experience professional, rewarding, and visually polished without the need for complicated setup or configuration.
