Group Gift Scripts - BOXED

The purpose of these scripts is very simple: to give one or more items to a person, who belongs to a specific group. The scripts will only give the gift once to any given avatar, so it can be used for transferable gifts too, as people will not be able to "mine" for gifts over and over again.

This is what makes these scripts different from most: they can, in theory, hold an unlimited number of avatar names. But please see below for more on memory.

The scripts will give out anything you wish *except* for scripts. So you can put in objects, notecards, landmarks, skins, etc. (If you wish to give out scripts, simply box them first, then put the box into the gift object.)

When someone touches the gift giver, if he/she has the correct group active, they will be given a folder containing all the items you put in. The folder will be named the same as the gift giver. So you may wish to rename it to something meaningful, like: "Group Gift from ".

At the start, I said that these scrips can, theoretically, hold an unlimited number of avatar names. In order to do this, "memory module" scripts are used. Each of these can hold up to 500 different names. The example prim has two such modules and so can hold up to 1000 names. It is possible to expand this further, but be warned, regions have limits to memory usage and if you overdo it, you will cause severe lag. Furthermore, LL has announced that limits on script usage are forthcoming around the middle of this year (2010), but at this time, few details are available.

These scripts have been tested with 8 memory modules, 4000 names, and function correctly.

The scripts are no modify - yes copy - no transfer.
The example prims are yes modify - yes copy - no transfer.

And I think that about covers it all. If you have problems or questions, please do contact me and I will do my best to help. But please, don't ask me to help you build. :-)
