Quick Question.....

Okay letme start off by saying i am very new at scripting so please forgive my stupid question but......

Is there a way to make hover text appear like a rainbow i mean like to switch colorslike every other word or so?

Only one colour at a time.

You can have different prims with different scripts that generate different colours of hover text, but that's unlikely to be very visible since the positioning of the text isn't fixed, it varies according to how far away the viewer is.

oh okay thanks anyway *sigh* learning is hard lol

The only option that springs to mind would be to have the rainbow text as an actual transparent texture, on a phantom prim above the item you have in mind.

Not entirely satisfactory ... but it would do what you want.

You could, presumably, have the colour of the whole floating text change through a simple script, but again that's not exactly what you want.

Hummm would you mind giving me the script that makes the text change color? and how simple is it i am new atthis it is scary lol

The second parameter of llSetText is the colour you want the text, so you just call it repeatedly on a timer or whatever with a different colour each time.

okay thanks a bunch there are such nice people here
