There are several kind of Group Joiners in Second Life. One of them requieres several clicks before joining the group, these kind of Group Joiners can't be used for closed enrollment groups. There is a second kind able to send invitations directly to the avatar, either by touching the Group Joiner or when detected by a sensor. The second kind is the one this site is about.
The AW Devices Group Joiner/Inviter system consists of a Second Life object rezzed in world which detects avatars around, we will call this object Group Joiner , and besides a Group Inviter avatar who sends the invitations.
It has Copy and Modify permission enabled.
You can configure it to be active only when touched or also with a sensor.
It includes a setup notecard where you can establish sensor range, sensor interval and bot name.
The group joiner makes a daily visitors list and keeps track of it, every 24 hours(at 00:00) it sends a report by IM to the owner where it says the amount and names of the visitors in the last 24 hours and also the average of visits during the last 30 days.
When it detects an avatar it first checks if that avatar is already in the visitors list for that day, and if not included in that list, then it sends a group join invitation request to the Group Inviter Avatar.
If an avatar touches the Group Joiner it makes the same as described in the paragraph above, but if the same avatar touches again the group joiner it is alerted that not a new invitation request will be sent. This is a way to prevent multiple touch events.
You can use your own Group Joiner Design, just transfer the scripts and setup notecard to your own design. Or modify the group joiner to your needs.
