Ive been all day trying to write a script that has collision with a phantom script send a msg to another prim to turn on a floating text. Then wait say 5 mins and reset the floating text to "" and Im really having tons of trouble. Is this possible to do? Any help is appreciated, Im a new scripter !!!

llVolumeDetect, and llSetTimerEvent()... when you have a collision set the timer event for 5 minutes..

Remember not to turn the prim phantom manually with the edit tools; leave it un-phantom, and once you run the script the llVolumeDetect function makes it behave as if it were phantom but with the added VolumeDetect magic. My understanding is if you make the prim phantom in the usual way, llVolumeDetect will not work properly.

I haven't had a problem with already-phantom objects failing to work with llVolumeDetect(TRUE), but about half the time I manage to forget that collision() events are *not* generated, just collision_start() and collision_end() -- just in case anybody else has selective amnesia about that.
