Erz Multi Rez Vender Box 4.2b

You can see the Quicktime Movie Demo at www.erzsabet.com
and "how to set up" tips Video HERE

This vender will notice when you change the contents (either the "_Items" notecard or a change in the contents itself) and will show a black "One Moment Please" screen as it reexamines the changes. It will show the first item in the list when it is ready to use. If you hate this verbose mode, you (as the owner) can click the vender to get the Owners menu and select the "Silent Mode"

The shopper uses the arrows and the poster changes to show the next item for sale. They can press the Info button to get a notecard with information about the item, or rez a sample. Once they press the arrow, the sample will disappear so folks won't be confused about which item they are buying.

FAQ
-------------------------------
Q1: Isn't there a 10m limit on rezzing objects in SL? What if i want to rez a 40m house?
A1: No problem. The script in the sample listens for its destination and moves itself in place. There should not be any limit as long as you are in the same sim! (well you need to be under your prim limits for your land of course!)

Q2: Hey every time I make a change, there is a bunch of yellow text in my chat window. Will others around me see all that stuff?
A2: No. The yellow text in chat is only seen by the owner of the vender. You will see each line of your "_Items" card as it is processed. This will help in case you forgot a line (like if it thinks your sample is named "<0,0,0>" for instance, you probably for got a line somewhere!). This is to help you know how to fix any problems in the _Items card. The script will then check for missing items in case you forgot (or misspelled) a sample, info card, or merchandise.
You can turn off much of this by selecting "Silent Mode" from the Owner's Menu.

Q3: I like how you can press the "next" button on the Owner Menu and the sample automatically rezzes. Can you make the vender work that way too?
A3: Well, yes if you want me to write a custom script that does that. There are 2 reasons why it is designed NOT to work like this. Not everyone is interested is seeing everything in the vender, and it takes a moment to rez. Also, there is no confusion between what is rezzed and what will be purchased if you pressed the "buy" button, since the rezzed sample will derez if you press the Next or Back button to select a different item.

Q4: I want to move my vender after I figured out all those angles and locations, do I have to start from scratch?
A4: No. Usually the rotation will still work properly, the only adjustments typically that need to be made is where the sample will rez. Using the Owner Menu's "get location" button makes this easy. See the demo at http://www.erzsabet.com/ErzMultiRezVenderDemo.mov

Q5: I just made some radical changes to the vender, and now the picture doesn't change.
A5: To reduce prims, the vender's picture is on side 6 of a sliced cube. If you change the slice, the the face number may change, and that is what probably happened. Transferring the contents to a new copy of the vender is the easiest solution.

Q6: Hey I'm lazy, and I don't want to write a bunch of info notecards... can I write just write a generic info card and use that for every item?
A6: Yes! Just put the single notecard in the vender, and refer to it by name for each item in the "_Items" card.

Q7: I'd like to promote my other stores. Can I give out Landmarks to all my customers?
A7: Yes. Any full permission Landmark in the vender's contents will be given to the customer at the time of purchase.

Q8: Can I get an IM with sales information sent to me?
A8: Yes! If you have you SL set up to send IM's to e-mail you won't miss a thing!

Q9: I'd like to change the color. And the texture. Come to think, I want to make it bigger....
A9: Go ahead! The vender has mod and copy permissions. Keep an unchanged copy just in case it goes horribly wrong. If you change the shape or the cut of the root prim (which effects the number of sides), or change the link order, you might break the poster display). Its best to keep mods to the size and texture of the vender. If you have a wild need, I can help tweak most anything, but for a major custom job, I might ask for a modest fee. One happy user of the vender (Nerk Noonan, inventer of the Relaxation Chamber Sky Box) made it into a ramp!

Q10: Can you change the "Buy" button so that a customer has to use a right click rather than a left click to purchase?
A10: Sure! Go into "Build mode" and check the "Edit linked parts". Select the BUY button. Under the "General" tab, on the lower left side is "When Left-Clicked" and a pop-up menu below. Select "Pay Object" for a Left-Click to purchase or "Touch/Grab" for a Right-Click to purchase.

Q11: I learn from examples. Is there an example vender I can look at?
A11: Yes, I learn best from examp
