Hello everyone:

I need a script that give me to posibility of touch and object and when is touched a new window appears with some text.

You could use a notecard to pop-up text, and images either need to textures that have been loaded, although I don't think notecards can display textures.

It can be done with a HUD, but it depends on your requirements as to exactly how.

Yeah, notecards can *contain* textures, but they're not actually displayed within the notecard. If you drag and drop the texture onto the editing window of the notecard it will appear as a blue link, and anyone who gets the notecard can click the link to get the image.

There's always llDialog as well, which pops up a small window at the right-hand corner, but for information purposes notecards are best I'd say.

You want to create a new notecard, put the text in it, drop it into the object, then have something like this script in it as well:

CODE

default
{
touch_start(integer n)
{
llGiveInventory(llDetectedKey(0), llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_NOTECARD, 0));
}
}


edit: If you wanted to give somebody a texture that you'd uploaded, that would pop on their screen, and could have text on it. Just replace INVENTORY_NOTECARD with INVENTORY_TEXTURE in the script above to give a texture instead of a notecard.
