Hi!
I have a prim with a script inside, at the beginning this script included a llSetText tag to show a text floating over the prim, later I decided to remove it, but the text is still there (I saved the script). I don't know why.

I have log off and on, but it is still there.

Does someone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks a lot.

Like a shape parameters and color, some properties are "kept" by a prim, after being set, even after logouts / going to inventory / re-rezzing.

These include llSetText and particles (like bling that you don't...).

To make the text go away, drop a script in it that sets the llSetText to ""

Better yet, make yourself a trivial script that sets the text and then deletes itself. Veryhandy little tool. No need to leave a script in an object once it's done its job, it just uses up server resources unnecessarily and adds a tiny bit to lag.

IIRC, use llDeleteInventory(llGetScriptName()), or something like that.

Well, this is not the case since that script is doing something else. But good to know about that.

Thanks.
