Getting rid of a script, but action still there...

Hello,

I know I know...search. I did. I couldn't find the answer, so I'm here...

I have a sign...the sign has a floating text script--the floating script has a few flaws it seems. 1) the text is dead center, no matter what numbers I change in the script the position of the text doesn't change, and 2) even when I get rid of the script, and reset the objects scripts (or recompile)...the floating text doesn't go away. It never goes away, or changes. The only thing I can change is what the text says...and that works.

Any idea? Bad script? Bug? What gives?

Thanks in advance.

with llSetText?

That will always be centered above the prim it's in, I don't know any way to change that. The vector is just colour

To remove the text, set the text message to just a space instead of a message, save it, that should get rid of it. Hovertext remains for some reason I haven't traken the time to learn.

EDIT:: the script Nika posted works wonderfully

However, for future reference, the line of script that will remove it would be

llSetText(" ",ZERO_VECTOR,1.0);

EDIT AGAIN::
The script Nika posted will remove a lot of things, not just the hovertext. If it does something you want it to keep doing, but don't want hte hovertext it may be safer to use just the one line

Hover text is a property of the prim, so getting rid of the script isn't enough, you need to actually reset the property. Here's a script that scrubs all such properties back to reasonable defaults (e.g. turns off particle systems, etc.). The line with "llSetText" is the one to get rid of the text. The script deletes itself when done, just dump it in the prim.

default
{
state_entry()
{
llSetSitText( "" );
llSetTouchText( "" );
llParticleSystem( [ ] );
llSetText( "", ZERO_VECTOR, 1.0 );
llTargetOmega( ZERO_VECTOR, 0, 0 );
llSetCameraAtOffset( ZERO_VECTOR );
llSetCameraEyeOffset( ZERO_VECTOR );
llSitTarget( ZERO_VECTOR, ZERO_ROTATION );
llSetTextureAnim( FALSE , ALL_SIDES, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0.0 );
llStopSound();
llOwnerSay("This Prim is Clean... ";
llRemoveInventory( llGetScriptName() ); // vanish without a trace...
}
}

You guys rock my socks off. Thanks.

if you wanted a complete scrubbing, you need to add llSetRemoteScriptAccessPin(0);

theres a few prim properties missing from the above scrubber example (like rotation locking) I believe the freely available scrubber available from 'The particle Laboratory" (in world search) has them all
