Help! Number Floating over Helmet model, can't get rid of it

PROBLEM SOLVED: Scroll down for Solution

*Note: I was on Hiatus for a while, so you'll have to forgive this dumb question. I forgot some of the simpler things.
I'm back in the saddle now, tho.

I've got this Masterchief (Halo) costume from Party Pussycat, it's a free, fully editable, and transferrable avatar set. But, there's this 99 number that floats over your head. And it's not an editable link. I couldn't see a script for it either.

I was messing around, I think I copied a new version of the costume into my inventory, and then there was a 98 floating over my head. (Other people can see these numbers)

Then I put another one on and it said 99 again.

Someone said something about flip title or flipping a title. /flip title
but, that didn't do anything I don't think.

I would ask Party but, she doesn't even show up in the player database anymore.

Probably A health meter of some sort. Not sure if they can be disabled.

I don't think it's a health meter, there would be a script for that I'm sure. And the 99 disappears when you remove the helmet as well. Something like that would have to be scripted differently. I think it's some kind of referenence number...

But, like I said the whole avatar get-up is all editable, transferrable, etc.

Do you know where to get one?

Could be a floating text left over from a long deleted script in the helmet ?

Try dropping a floating text killer script into the helmet see if it gets deleted ?

Did you check all of the prims that make up the helmet?

right click edit
select edit linked objects/prims (not sure the exact name because I'm at work right now

now click on each prim that makes up the helmet and check the contents...there should be a script in one of them

I'll give those a try. Thanks guys.

If anyone else can offer further help I'd really appreciate it.

I just found out something. When I click on my head, the number gets smaller and my character chats, '!!!'. At 0 it turns into 'DoorNailDead' floating above my head.

I'm gonna check the primitives for scripts right now.

Found it, a primitive in the center of the head, contained a life script. Thanks everyone. Now, I can get to working on these flat colors, and adding some texture and bumping.

Okay...hold on a sec, the text is still floating over my head, after I deleted the script, removed the helmet, replaced it, and then logged out and back in.

A Life Script: It's editable, I deleted it and it still was running. I'm not sure how to permanently delete/disable this thing.

Some script functions become object properties, meaning they remain even after the script has been deleted, and can only be removed via another script call for them to be turned off. I believe hover text is one of those properties.

If no one responds with how to change that health script to turn itself off (sorry I don't know how myself), you might want to just remove the prim that had contained it, and replace it with a brand new prim. Then drop a text killer into every prim in the whole object. If that doesn't do it, then I' don't know what will, short of just rebuilding the thing from scratch yourself.

I believe I found the answer here:

/54/66/155926/1.html

I'll post back when I'm sure.

Okay, I finally did it. Problem Solved. Here's my full method.

I had a floating number over my head, I found out it was a life script.

I right clicked on my head, and selected Edit.

On the Edit menu, I checked edit linked parts, then checked Position. Now, select the Content tab. I clicked on all the primitives. I found out it was the sphere in the middle. You'll see a script shown in the Content tab.

Now I opened the Script. I deleted the contents then replaced it with this Hover Text Killer Script.

default
{
state_entry() {
llSetText("",<0,0,0>,0);
}
}

Checked running, and saved.
Now, the text is removed. Now, I delete the script altogether. I've now got full control of the avatar. Order is restored.

Hope that helps anyone else with the same problem.

Thanks to you guys for helping me find it.

Choosen few is correct, the floating text property will remain with the prim even after you remove the script. You can add a floating text script to the prim that has nothing included where the text should be, and it will replace the text that you are still seeing. I can send you one in world if you don't have one already in your inventory.

glad you solved your problem, but I have to say that life script is some of the worst scripting ever

instead of doing all those IF statements, they could have just said:

lSetText((string)LIFE, <1,1,1>,1);

Being a programmer myself, I was wondering about that. I haven't done much scripting here, so I don't know it's limitations but, yeah...right off the bat it looked wrong to me.
