Hi, not exactly sure if this is the appropriate place, but...

I have a nitpicky little problem that I can't seem to figure out. I have an object (no copy) that has floating text over it. I want to remove the floating text. Simple, right?
Well, the only way I've successfully done this in the past is to delete the floating text script, then shift-drag copy the object and delete the new copy. Leaves the old object textless and pristine. But, how do I do this when the object was purchased and no copy?
And I'm very afraid someone will suggest the only way is to go into the floating text script and delete the text in there. Because I've already deleted the floating text script. HELP!!!
Any suggestions?

Put in a new floating text script with nothing in it.. So the bit inside the script that says what'll apear above it, make it blank. Put that inside the object and it should go away.. I think.. Then you can delete the script.

Thats the first way that springs to mind anyway. Someone wise and learned'll come along and post a faster way with less to do shortly

CODE


default
{
    state_entry()
    {
      // Remove text
      llSetText("", <0,0,0>, 1.0); 
    }
}

Thanks, Frans, that worked like a charm. And thank you, too Zapoteth, for your suggestion--I tried it on something else, and it, too, worked great.
