*Help* Creating Pop Up Text box

Hello all,

I need help with creating a pop up text box.

The aim is to attach this to the prim by simple script. When user clicks prim, the prim will let out a text box (like the ones you see when you enter an owned land). How do I do this?

The whole purpose of the prim is to describe the blackbox/prim I'm going to create. I don't want to use llSay/whisper because I'm going to describe the object (lots of words). So I figured, a pop-up text box will allow users to read-through "What's this?" object with more privacy and less spamming in chatbox.

Thank you.

This simple script will pop up a dialog, but it only allows 512 bytes of text:
default
{
touch_start(integer total_number)
{
llDialog(llDetectedKey(0), "This message can only be 512 bytes long", [], 1 );
}
}
If you can chop your message up into pieces that small, you could have NEXT and PREVIOUS page buttons that pop up the next and last page, with any number of pages.

I could not resist trying out my own suggestion: Here is a multi-page dialog message script that is pretty simple:

integer page;
list mess = [
    "This message must be 512 bytes or less",
    "this is page 2 of the message",
    "this is page 3 of the message",
    "this is the last page of my message"
];
list next;
default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        page=0;
        if (llGetListLength(mess)>1)
            next = ["next"];
        llListen(1,"",llDetectedKey(0),"");
        llDialog(llDetectedKey(0), llList2String(mess,page),next, 1 );
    }
    listen(integer chan, string name, key id, string mes)
    {
        if (mes=="next")
        {
            page += 1;
            if (page >= llGetListLength(mess)-1)
                next=[];
            llDialog(id, llList2String(mess,page),next, 1 );
        }
    }
}

Of course this will get confused for several reasons if several avatars click on it at the same time...

if you use llGiveInventory and a notecard, the default is to show the notecard when it's received, which will allow you any amount of pre-written text you want...
