Name
Visitor Counter

Summary
Shows number of visitors

Description
This is one of the ultimate visitor counters. With threading, it can track on average, 5000 unique visitors. An on-board cache holds the most recent 100 visitors to prevent performance degradation as the system reaches a high capacity of visitors to search through. All voice commands are activated by the owner on channel nine by default.

The owner can touch the object to see the list of all visitor names. Only the owner can see this list. Visitor names are displayed in a comma delimited list of up to 1024 characters per line of text as a limitation of the Second Life viewer.

Features
  • Visually see number of visitors counted
  • Tracks average of 5000 unique visitors
  • Cache 100 recent visitors
  • Voice configuration by owner


Voice Commands
Message
When a visitor arrives, you can have the counter say a custom welcome message. You can use the tag {0} to be replaced by the new visitors name. If you don't have any message following the command, then no one will receive a welcome message.

/9 message Hello {0}. Welcome to our shop.
/9 message A new visitor has arrived /9 message

Distance
By default, the sensor is set to detect visitors within 10 meters. Sensor range can be changed by using the sensor command followed by the distance in meters in which to detect.

/9 distance 25

Timer
By default, the sensor is set to detect visitors every 5 seconds. The polling interval can be changed by using the "timer" command followed by the number of seconds between each sensor.

/9 timer 10

Add
To add new visitors, you can use the "add" command.

/9 add Dedric Mauriac

Reset
If your list gets full or the counter no longer incriments when a new visitor comes by, you can use the "reset" command. Make sure to backup all of your old visitors first by touching the object, as they will all be erased.

/9 reset

List
You may see a list of all visitors that the visitor counter has recorded by issuing the list command. Names will appear in a comma-delimited list that only the owner will see.

/9 list

Recent
You may see the list of the most recent 100 visitors in the cache by issuing the recent command.

/9 recent

Notify
Toggles notification on/off to be notified when a new visitor arrives.

/9 notify

Channel
By default, the counter listens to its owner on channel 9. To change it, simply use the channel command followed by the new channel.

/9 channel 7

Export
You may need to export visitors from one counter to another. To prevent both counters from exporting to each other, you may use the "channel" command first when only one is rezed so that only it will respond to the export command.

/9 export 32

Import
If you need to import visitors from another counter, you can use the import command to start/stop the import process. While the import process is on, text will hover over the counter stating that it is ready for import. If you do not specify the channel for import, then any existing import process will be disabled.

/9 import 32
/9 import

Group
If you would like members of your group to also access the list of people that the counter has detected, then you can use this feature to turn group access on and off.

Background History
This little item began as a way to count how many visitors came to my shop. I had setup a money tree and was curious if it was attracting a lot of new people or the same bunch of people.
