Prims Count

Current Release 0.08



Prims Count is an easy-to-use tool designed to make it really easy for users of group land to see their prim counts. As the land owner, you simply rez (and deed to the group the land is set to) the Prims Count Base.

Prims Count system can be used two ways:
  • Rez Prims Count Board to show prims count of your land users.
  • Give out Prims Counter User to your land users. When they rez it the device will contact the Base Station and obtain their prim count for them.

One Base Station can count the prims on any parcel owned by the same group in the sim. For multiple parcels, just purchase another Prims Count Base.

Setting up Prims Count system



The first step to use Prims Count is to setup the Prims Count Base.

Rezzing the Prims Count Base


Rez the The Prims Count Base on ground, this is a no copy object, it will disappear from your inventory.

Land Options


For the Prims Count Base counts prims on the land only if the owner of the Prims Count Base and the owner of the land are the same person or group. Thus wether the land is owned by an avatar or a group you will need to setup your base differently.

Land parcel is owned by you personally


If you own personally the land you won't need extra configuration for the prims count to work. Once rezzed you will see the following messages over the Prims Count Base.

threshold 100 00FF00 FF0000

Using indivual threshold

avadd <avatar-first-name> <avatar-last-name> [threshold]

For Example:
threshold 100 00FF00 FF0000
avadd Lalwende Leakey 200
avadd Flandria Connolly 200


Lalwende Leakey & Flandria Connolly will have 200 prims, all others avatars will use 100.

User Prims Counter


You can also give User Prims Counter to your users. User Prims Counter works like any Prims Count Board except it will count only prims of owner.
