Is there any other way to see immediate changes to the llSetText function, without having to re-add the script to a completely new prim? It seems the parameters that are used when the function is first called, stick with the prim, and after that they do not change according to updates.
Just wondering if there's a better way, it's tedious to always have to unlink everything for the sake of a minor adjustment to this function. Thanks.

What's the problem? I've never had problems with llSetText, personally, but then again I don't use it too terribly often due to the fact that anything behind it has to be set to be infintesimally transparent, and it just looks ugly in general. What's it doing for you?

I've never seen this behavior before. You simply make a new llSetText statement and it updates immediately.

I have seen it fail to update if you set it to llSetText("", <1,1,1>, 1.0)
This was a bug a while back and I'm not sure if has ever been resolved. I have just been using llSetText("\n", <1,1,1>, 1.0) to make it blank when needed. I haven't had any trouble since I made that switch.
If this answers your question great! If not, maybe post up some code so we can see what you are trying to do, and possibly where it is breaking.

Sorry for the delayed reply, and thanks for you help so far. When I adjust the height of the text, it doesn't seem to update. I'm wondering if it has something to do with this (taken from the Wiki):
"Note: This floating text is a property of the prim, not the script. As such, it will remain until removed explicitely. Simply deleting the script that set the text will not remove the text."
Thanks again.

Adjusting the height? I don't think that is possible. How are you trying to do this?

Oy, for some strange reason, i thought the last parameter set the height of the text.  hehe, I probably need some sleep. thanks for your help, though. I suppose I could raise the height of the text by using '/n' a few times over. |

Like llSitPos and particle systems you must explicity turn off text to remove it from a prim. You can't just remove the script.
But... I do remember a problem about 6 months ago where my text would not update unless I moved the prim a bit. I finally settled on moving up 0.001 everytime I updated and back down that much next time. It worked, but I couldn't tell you what the real problem was.

llSetText triggers an update automaticaly so you don't need to manualy trigger one by moving the prim now...
