MLPV2 Give Item Add-on

• Back to MLPV2

Add on tool for MLPV2 that puts a button on the MLPV2 menu that, when clicked, gives a user an object (or multiple objects) that you wish them to use with an animation.

By Chaz Longstaff, June 2008.

Example: LINKMSG TieMeUp | 1,-4,987789,Cuff1#Cuff2#Cuff3#Cuff4##Wear these four cuffs.

Steps to use:

1. Copy and paste everything below the double-line on this page into a script called, for the sake of argument, "~give" (the script name is actually irrelevant; you may call it kumquat if you wish;)
   
2. Drop the script into the prim where you have the rest of the MLPV2 scripts;
   
3. Add the object that you wish to give out. Usually, it is either a prim object, or clothing. Note that this object to be given out needs to have both copy and transfer permissions set on it;
   
4. Add to the menu in an MLPV2 menu notecard the following line:
   

LINKMSG MyButtonName | 1,-4,987789,NamesOfObjectToOffer##MsgToPerson

In the above line, there are three elements for you to customize as appropriate:

• MyButtonName -- the wording that you want to appear for the button on the blue menu
• NamesOfObjectToOffer -- the name(s) (case and spacing sensitive) of the object(s) you are offering. If you are offering more than one, separate them with a hache (aka number, aka pound) sign # . Example: Item01#Item02#Item03
• MsgToPerson -- A message to be instant messaged to the person being offered the item, so they know what it is for, and don't think it's a random spammer or griefer passing by, etc.

Note that NamesOfObjectToOffer and MsgToPerson are separated by a ## separator (two hache symbols.)

What you don't need to change in the above sample line:

• 1 -- makes it so the MLPV2 menu doesn't reappear, so the user can see the accept-object menu
• -4 -- the value of LINK_THIS, meaning, send this message to this prim only. (Use -4 if the ~give script is in a different prim.)
• 987789 -- This is the number the ~give script looks for to detect a message to it.

//add-on by Chaz Longstff for MLPV2 by Lear Cale. June 2008.

//Function: gives object to someone on an MLPV2 ball

//in a menu card, format a menu button like this, for example:

//LINKMSG Give Book | 1,-4,987789,little book(wear)##Wear This

//In this example, Give Book is the button name

//1 means whether to make the MLPV2 menu go away or not.

//Generally set it to 1 as per the example, as otherwise the user

//might not see the accept prompt for the inventory being given

//-4 -- the value of LINK_THIS, meaning, send this message to this prim only.  (Use -1 if the ~give script is in a different prim.)
//987789 -- don't change this, this is the communication channel

//little book(wear)##Wear This -- this is the item to give,

//followed by a message to be instant messaged to the recipient

//of the object. It's good to include a msg, so that they don't just think

//it's a griefer trying to hand them something. Notice that the object to give,

//and the accompanying msg, are separated by ##


//parameters 
string ObjectToGive;
string message;
