Split Profit: Fnordian Split-Payment System

Split sale profits from your product items with another avatar!

Permissions: Copy Only for Controller script, Copy+Transfer for Object script (so it can be put into an item for sale).

Unlike most split payment scripts, these scripts work directly with objects set for sale in their edit window, i.e., "Buy" rather than "Pay".

WHAT THE SCRIPTS DO:
These scripts let you give a percentage from every sale of an object you own to another avatar (hereafter referred to as "Split Partner"). You can choose the percentage that your Split Partner will receive. When a sale occurs, an instant message will also be sent to both you and your Split Partner giving details of the sale.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. These scripts work with standalone objects for sale as well as boxed objects where the entire box is sold. They do *not* work with boxes that sell the contents.
2. You must have transfer and modify permissions on the objects you wish to sell (and ideally copy permissions too).
3. The split payment scripts trigger when the object is bought, except if you buy your own object, so to test them you'll need to have a friend or an alt buy the item.
4. The Controller script will fail if the object it resides in is ever sold (even a copy) because PERMISSION_DEBIT is automatically set to false when this occurs. Therefore you cannot put the Controller script in the same object as the Split Payment Object script.
5. You should only use one Controller script per Split Partner (in the same sim) regardless of the number of different objects set for sale in that sim.
6. You must be the owner of both the object for sale and the Controller object for the scripts to work.
7. You must follow all setup steps carefully in order for the Split Payment System to work correctly.

SETUP

SETTING UP THE CONTROLLER SCRIPT:
1. Drag a copy of the "Split Payment Controller v2.1" script into a not-for-sale object's inventory. This Controller object must be in the same sim as the objects you wish to sell.
Note: you can place this script into any prim in an object and the object may even be a wall or floor if you wish.
2. When the script asks for Debit Permissions you must grant them.
3. Drag the "_Controller Details" notecard into the object's contents (it must be in the same prim as the Split Payment Controller script).
4. Edit the "_Controller Details" notecard and enter: Split Partner's Key and Maximum Payment on the appropriate lines after the equals signs.
5. Save the notecard and wait for the script to read in the new values before you close it (that way you can be sure it saved correctly).

Left-click (or touch) the Controller object at any time to display the current settings.

USING THE SPLIT PAYMENT OBJECT SCRIPT:
1. Open the object for sale and drag a copy of the "Split Payment Object v2.1" script into the object's contents.
2. Drag the "_Split Payment Details" notecard into the object's contents.
3. Edit the notecard and enter: Split Partner's Name, Split Partner's Key, Sale Price of the object, and Split Percent on the appropriate lines after the equals signs.
4. Save the notecard and wait for the script to read in the new values before you close it (that way you can be sure it saved correctly).
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for each object that's for sale with the same Split Partner.

Left-click (or touch) the object for sale at any time to display the current settings.

Note: When the item is rezzed by a new owner (other than the item's creator), the Split Payment script and accompanying notecard are automatically removed.

MULTIPLE SPLIT PARTNERS (WITH DIFFERENT OBJECTS):
If you have more than one partner who you share profits with on different items, simply set up a Split Payment Controller script for each partner (the scripts must be in different prims, each with their own "_Controller Details" notecard). The appropriate Controller script will work with the matching Split Payment Object scripts.

Important: You only need one Split Payment Controller script for a given partner anywhere in the same sim. If you have more than one, you'll be paying your Split Partner at least twice.
