I Make HUDDLES™

I am ready to release the HUDDLES Rental Box. I’ve been testing this for about 4 months now at Animation Warehouse and it is now ready for public release. I do want to make sure I get some early feedback however and so I’m initially going to charge about a third of what the actual price will be. So for a limited time you can buy the system for only 99L.

As I said before, what prompted me to make this was the desire to get a mall rental script that only used 1 script per stall. It’s not as fully featured as some, but you would be hard pressed to find one that takes up as little script resources. On my sim it usually only uses 0.001 ms of time from the script scheduler (occasionally it has read 0.002 or 0.003).

It’s for sale at HUDDLES Headquarters and at OnRez.com.

A few months ago, I expanded my mall, Animation Warehouse, to an entire sim. I had to decide whether I would use my old mall rental script or buy another one. I went out shopping and found that the device that many people were using to rent stalls in malls had a lot of scripts in each one, 16 scripts to be precise. Well, my new mall might need 50 or even 100 of these. There was no way I was going use 1600 scripts to handle rentals.

So, I did what I normally do in these kinds of situations, I made my own script rather than buying one. The first thing I decided was to get rid of the cube design that many of these devices use. I wanted something a little more classy. My friend Trinity Cole suggested that it have a display with the stall number and I agreed. Also, I didn’t want my rental box moving around and getting really big when the rent was past due. A simple sign would do:
