Lifting Hovertext (lowering prefered)

want to lift the hovertext (lowering it would be prefered) and know "\n" lifts it but can't get all three lines lifted- either lift a couple of lines or get a syntax error...

    // Build and set hover text 

    string hoverText = "Item " + (string)(currentItem + 1) + " of " 
+ (string)(itemCount + 
1) + "\n" + llList2String(items, currentItem) + "\n \n$" + (string)
llList2String(prices, currentItem); 
    llSetText(hoverText, textColor, 1.0); 

     

did you try:

    // Build and set hover text 

    string hoverText = "Item " + (string)(currentItem + 1) + " of " 
+ (string)(itemCount + 
1) + "\n" + llList2String(items, currentItem) + "\n"+"\n$" + (string)
llList2String(prices, currentItem); 
    llSetText(hoverText, textColor, 1.0); 

in this way it should work i think, to lower the text it cant be done in the normal way, to position a text lower than the normal text starting point you have to use another prim and using a linkedmessage to update the text over it, so you can position the text where you need it

To decrease the height of hover text, decrease the Z scale of the prim. Regardless of the prim's orientation, the Z scale determines how much vertical offset is applied to the text above the prim's pivot point.
