Hover Not Hovering

I keep having this problem where the hover text doesn't hover above the object, thereby defeating its purpose. It is trapped in the base of the prim.

Yes, I was told to put it in the top prim on an object, and did...but it still doesn't hover up there right.

Is there a place in the standard hover script where you can write in HOW HIGH the hover should be? Or???

put '\n ' at the end of your text. That's a newline with a space after it. This will put a blank line under your text to lift it up. Repeat as necessary.

Or check the prim your text call is in. If the script and/or parent prim is the base of the object, that may be your problem.

Hehe, what Rickard said. I tend to make a global 'filler' string, kinda like this:

string filler = "\n \n \n \n \n" ;

And then tack that onto the end of any string I try to display with llSetText(). That tends to force it to display well above the prim. Make sure to put spaces between the \n's or it won't bother rendering them (oddly enough).
