Prim position vector as floating text?

[Tighern McDonnell]

Is it even possable? I know how to get the position of the prim but what I want to do is Rezz a cube with the script in it... and have its position show up as <128,128,15> or whatever as floating text... is there a way?

Sure.  The syntax for floating text is

llSetText( TEXT, COLOR, ALPHA);   Where TEXT is any string, COLOR is the vector describing the color of the text, and ALPHA is a floating point variable defining transparency.

So TEXT can be anything, including (string) llGetPos(), as in .....

llSetText((string)llGetPos(),<1.0,1.0,1.0>,1.0);

Put that in the on_rez event of the script that you put into your box so that it sets the floating text as the box is created.

well dang it is that simple... 

so you can have the vector be a string by using it that way? Oh that will open up a few other things for me. Thank you.
