script ghosts?

Don't know if "script ghosts" is an accurate title, but I would like to know how to eliminate the floating text on a prim after the script for it has been removed.

This also happens on particle scripts, for smoke for instance, when the script is deleted and but the smoke remains.

I have a freebie box that I would like to put out, but I don't want to see that annoying floating red text all the time. Is there a method/order of doing this without having to create a new prim? Thanks!!

Ceej, with the text, just put a new script in that uses llSetText to set a blank string:

llSetText("",<1,1,1>,1);

With particles, you need to do a blank to call the paticle system to turn it off:

llParticleSystem([]);

You can remove the scripts after they've cleared the text/particles.

Hope those help.

I'll make a particle/text/vehicle reset script that you just drag and drop on an object, and it clear up all of these issues. I'll post it to the SL Forum Script Repository located at the University of Second Life later tonight.

Thanks for the code and tips Moopf!

Thank you, Moopf!!

Thank you too, Hank!!

Hank, be sure to add a llRemoveInventory(self) type thing at the very end of it, so all you REALLY have to do is drag the script onto the object, and poof, it's fixed.
