First Name Letter Prize

I got bored one day and saw these lucky chairs and made something of my own and decided to open source it

-- UPDATE ADDED 19 DECEMBER 2009 DUE TO PEOPLE WITH LOWERCASE NAMES

   // CONVERT IT ALL INTO LOWERCASE
   firstletter  = llToLower(firstletter);
   winnerletter = llToLower(winnerletter);

Okay, let's see the script!

Here's the script.

// CONFIG \\

// How Often do we change Letter? // THIS IS IN MINUITES // SO SIMPLE MATHS integer changeletter = 10; integer timerevent; string winnerletter;

// ENABLE DEBUG MODE 0 = NO & 1 = YES integer debug = 0;

// LETS GET TEH ALPHABET! list letters = ["A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "O", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "X", "Y", "Z"];

// DEBUG SHIT DON'T MESS WITH THIS deBug(string dmsg) {

   if(debug)
   llOwnerSay(dmsg);

}

// THIS IS THE CHECK NAME SUB checkname(key whositting) {

   // SAYS THE AVATARS KEY IN DEBUG MESSAGE
   deBug((string)whositting);
   // WE NEED TO KNOW WHO IS SITTING HERE A KEY IS USELESS!
   string whothat = llKey2Name(whositting);
   // SPLIT THER NAME UP 
   list name  = llParseString2List(whothat, [" "], []);
   // 0 is the First name change to 1 if you want to use LASTNAME
   string who = llList2String(name, 0);
   // Get the Length of the name
   integer length = llStringLength(who);
   // DELETE EVERYTHING AFTER LAST LETTER
   string firstletter= llDeleteSubString(who, 1, length);

   // CONVERT IT ALL INTO LOWERCASE
   firstletter  = llToLower(firstletter);
   winnerletter = llToLower(winnerletter);

           // OK SO LETS SEE THEN IF THIS MATCHES
            if(firstletter == winnerletter)
            {
                llSay(0, "We Have a Winner!!!");
                llUnSit(whositting);

               // to give a different inventory item type,
               // replace "INVENTORY_OBJECT" with "INVENTORY_NOTECARD", etc.
                llGiveInventory(whositting,llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_OBJECT, 0));

                getnewletter();
            }
            // NOPE THEY LOSE!!
            else
            {
                llSay(0, "Your first name doesn't begin with the letter "+winnerletter+ " it's "+firstletter);      
                llUnSit(whositting);             
           }

}

// SUB TO GET A NEW LETTER getnewletter() {

   // LETS SHUFFLE THE LIST AND GET A LETTER!
   list shuffled = llListRandomize(letters, 1);
   // NOW LETS SAY
   winnerletter = llList2String(shuffled, 0);
   llShout(0, "We are now looking for a lucky winner who's firstname starts with "+winnerletter);
   llSetText("Current letter is "+winnerletter, <1,1,1>, 1);

}

default {

   state_entry()
   {
    // START BE GETTING A LETTER
    getnewletter();

    // THIS CONVERTS THE MINUITES INTO SECONDS WHICH IS WHAT LSL LIKES FOR TIMERS
    timerevent = (changeletter * 60);

    // START THE TIMER EVENT
    llSetTimerEvent(timerevent);

    // MAKE A SIT TARGET
    llSitTarget(<0.0, 0.0, 0.1>, ZERO_ROTATION);

   }

   timer()
   {
       // TIMER HAS RUN GET A NEW LETTER!!
       getnewletter();
   }

First Name Letter Prize (Linden Version)

After being contacted by Zoom Blitz i changed this now so there is also a linden giving version

As with most scripts involving money i advise you get a few people you trust or a few alts to test this out
