| If you are an estate manager on the sim/region or the owner of the group that owns the mainland parcels you will be able to rez objects on the land even if the rights are otherwise turned off. When placing rental units, it's '''always''' a good idea to turn on "view land owners" and/or "view property lines" to make sure you are placing the unit in an area where scripts will always work, and the renter will not be able to return it. Most residents will behave in this regard, but there's '''always''' going to be someone who will want to test the estate staff. | | |- |
| | | | valign="top" | Clicking '''"OK"''' on the Success screen will automatically take you back to the main bots page, with your newly configured bot appearing in the list. <br /><br /> An '''example''' of a list of bots may be seen in this image. |
| ==== How does a unit know which parcel to track? ==== | | | [[File:RobotArmy2016 - BotList.png|300px|thumb|left|Click for larger image]] |
| ---- | | |} |
| When you are renting parcels on a sim, simply rez the rental unit ON the parcel you want it connected to.
| |
| | |
| Then you can move it off the parcel onto land where the renter can't return the rental unit, or move it to your sim's rental HQ.
| |
| | |
| === Difference Between Meters and Boxes? ===
| |
| ----
| |
| | |
| Both types allow rental state changes - showing whether a unit is available, rented, etc. - but where the box includes transparency functions, the meter does not because it's designed to be left out and visible at all times. As far as tenants are concerned, there are no functional differences between the boxes and the meters. Both will accept payments, both will show state changes.
| |
| | |
| Each type comes in a primary/master version, and a secondary/slave version that acts as a relay. You '''cannot''' use a "slave" unit in place of a primary unit - the "slave" units have no "brains" of their own, and exist solely to pass commands and responses back and forth from the primary unit it is linked to.
| |
| | |
| The primary/master unit names are as follows:
| |
| | |
| CasperLet Rental Box
| |
| CasperLet Rental Meter
| |
| CasperLet Mesh Rental Meter
| |
| | |
| The secondary/slave unit names are as follows:
| |
| | |
| CasperLet SLAVE Box
| |
| CasperLet SLAVE Meter

| = '''<span style="color:#00528c">Customising Your Rental Units</span>''' = | |
| To create your custom rental units AND to make sure rental state changes are reflected (or not, as you choose) between rented and available states, see the '''[[CasperLet/Customisation | Rental customisation]]''' page.

| |
| :* If all of your rental units will use the same base configuration, follow the instructions in '''[[#Bulk_Setup | "bulk setup"]]''' section.
| |
| :* If SOME of your rental units will use the same base config, but you will have SOME units with different settings, use the '''[[#Bulk_.2B_Individual_Setup | "Bulk + individual setup"]]''' section.
| |
| :* If all of your rental units will use different configurations, use the '''[[#Individual_Unit_Setup | "individual setup"]]''' section below.
| |
| | |
| === Setup Limitation ===
| |
| ----
| |
| Currently CasperLet does not support rental profiles. If you have '''two''' or more "base configuration sets" (that are dependent on the rental), you will still need to choose '''one''' as the default, and change the rest individually - this will be using the '''[[#Bulk_.2B_Individual_Setup | bulk + individual]]''' section below.
| |
| | |
| A suggestion ticket '''is''' in the queue to add rental profile functionality.
| |
| | |
| === Pay Buttons ===

| |
| To understand what goes in the pay buttons in the different unit configurations, see the '''[[CasperLet/Pay_Buttons | Pay Buttons]]''' page.

| |

| |
| : ''If the tenant will be taking OWNERSHIP of the parcel (such as with land sales on an island estate), the rental unit must NOT be rezzed on the parcel to which they take ownership. As a side-effect, this means the prim-counting feature will not function.''
