      Hi,

      Some people asked me for the "Pay me actor" I showed during "Quick and Dirty"
      Attached is the file with two examples.
      Some information for who wasn't there:
      Sometimes I make a patch for small projects that will only play for a short time. I do this almost for free.
      But one time somebody started touring without telling me. 
      After this experience I added a "Pay me actor" to all the projects I almost don't get payed for.
      I use a hidden actor or i save as read only with a password.
      This hidden actor will show a text on all the screens and will only appear after a time I chose. (I chose the month after the show).
      Groeten Gertjan

        Each with their own. I would never do such thing.

          I also rarely do it. I think I used it once last year for somebody who asked a demo to try if a projection was possible. And to be sure they wouldn't use it in the final product without noticing me I added the text.

          When I have a good contact and its a nice project I would never do this.
          Only when I know there is a possibility they will screw me over.

            That's such a smart strategy to protect your intellectual rights. I mean, they shouldn't of see the text if they actually followed what they promised, right? ;) it's more like one of those better safe than sorry things. Thank you for sharing it!

              Also, sure you know this @GertjanB, but if you save the patch as 'Run Only' and save it showing just the interface then there is no way a person could access the patch and hide it.

                Thanks, I see you have added the crash actor :-). Maybe I would write Isadora will close in ....seconds and not crash in .....seconds.

                  That's indeed better, but won't they get a crash report? maybe a close down actor would be something interesting. Or is that already possible?
                  Or you can hide the stages every few seconds.

                    You could hide the stages - look at the show and hide stages actor.

                      Yes there will be a crash report but the writing close would be a bit nicer the crash :-).

                      The hide stages actor would also be a clever solution, with a pulse generator that triggers hide stages every second incase they toggle "show hide stages" by hand.
