How do you make a simple text-based HUD?

[Bugabooloo Foxclaw]

I want to create a simple HUD that basically broadcasts messages in public chat.

Messages like "(avatar) runs over and slaps (other avatar)'s butt" or even longer, more complicated ones (similar to the Sinteract! abilities found with Sinful Needs products, if anyone is familiar with them).

Being able to identify other avatars isn't necessarily required, but would be super nifty if it isn't too dificult to create.

I'm not entirely familiar with the build capabilities of Second Life just yet, but I'm in the process of learning. I can make due with any of the information you have to give me, even if I won't understand it right off the bat. Any step-by-step instructions or links detailing this specific process would be VERY much appreciated.

Thanks in advance :)

The huds you have in mind are, I think, based on this: http://www.free-lsl-scripts.com/cgi/freescripts.plx?ID=1259
