Hey SL-ers,

I have noticed some people can remove the colon (":";) from the chat line when they want.
For example

Stoney Diavolo: taps his foot

shows as

Stoney Diavolo taps his foot

Which is useful when chat is used for describing what you're doing instead of just what you say.

But how do you do that - Anyone know?

TIA

Try:

/me taps his foot.

..or maybe..

/me owes Meade a bazillion L$!

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

/0 See, me no type dance

Useful when you need to not do the typing animation for a moment :)

I am fully aware that this is already a way to turn it off completely, but putting / in front of your chat type is also a quick, temporary way of preventing the key tap sound. So if you're sitting during a Voice Chat poetry recital and want to express a nice sentiment about it, you could type "/ wow, I love this poem!" and not annoy the people sitting around you.

/me has annoyed folk before.

chat(string text)
{
text = llStringTrim(text, STRING_TRIM);
if( text == "";) return;

integer space = llSubStringIndex(text, " ";);
string old = llGetObjectName();
string new;
if(space < 0) {
new = text;
text = "";
} else {
new = llGetSubString(text, 0, space-1);
text = llGetSubString(text, space+1, -1);
}
llSetObjectName(new);
llSay(0, "/me "+text);
llSetObjectName(old);

Well someone needs to hurry up then. I don't see any that fit the bill including the Friday Thread thread or the Standards for Friday Threads thread.

Would hate it if this was the Friday without a Friday thread. :(

Its title wasn't the Friday Thread; its title was "Friday Threads".
