Why is it that when I turn off a hovering text script and delete it from the object, it still persists in displaying the text?

You will want to use the same llSetText("Hello.", <1,0,0>, 1.0);, but this time take out the text and leave only the "": llSetText("", <1,0,0>, 1.0); through that in a script and it will set the txt to blank. you can then remove the script again. This has something to do with the llSetText atribute belonging to the prim/object not the script that set it.

Hope that helps! ;)

Note: This floating text is a property of the prim, not the script. As such, it will remain until removed explicitly. Simply deleting the script that set the text will not remove the text.

You'll find that quite alot of scripts keep going even after being removed. llSetOmega, for instance.

Be careful where you put scripts. I ususally save a copy of an artifact before i script it.

RemoteLoad access pin, camera offset and camera target are recorded in the prim, too.
