I was thinking about the topic Ope Rand brought up at the Townhall meeting about being able to stop the camera.
Specifically with the card game problem, I was thinking wouldn't it be better to create a texture that only you could see?
this would have a lot of other helpful applications too, like secret doors for example.
don't know how viable it would be, just something I thought of

interesting idea. currently the only way to privately send information to a player is through IM. it definitely would be nice to send more than just text without others seeing it. locking the camera is one way. although in the card game problem, you could still cheat with help from someone else. i didn't think of that before(there's still many uses for camera control though). anyway, i thought another way to send stuff discreetly might be to pop up a window on the player's client where we could show pictures and things, instead of just text. just another thought  |

Even if you just want to send text, more than 1 line is painfully slow. The llInstantMessage has a built in sleep of some sort. :-/
