Moving Hovering text Script?

Hi everyone.

My question is simple. I hope.

I have a floating text script, just one. I open it, change the text it displays, and drop it into an object. Sometimes, it appears floating above the object ( as it should) and other times it floats in the middle of the object. The script interferes with my vendor textures when it mid floats, how do I get it to consistantly remain hovering over the object?

I think it's always going to float in the middle of whichever prim you put the script into. Put /n /n /n at the beginning of your text, this will force carriage return/new lines, basically moving your text up a bit.

Put your /n at the *end* of your text. At the beginning it causes carriage returns before your text starts, which won't do anything. At the end, it forces the text to hover higher by placing carriage returns after it.

Also, make sure you put a space between each /n because they won't stack unless there's text on the line, and a space counts.

A good solution I use is to create a small, transparent prim to put the hovertext script in. Then link that prim above your object. This will allow the text to always stay above your object without appearing too high-up when you're some distance away from it.

That should be "\n \n \n" not "/n /n /n" surely?

Er, you got me there. This is what I get for copying what the guy above me wrote without thinking about it.
