text when object is stood on

[woodierider]

Hi, can anyone help me with a script that adds a hovering text, ( not text in chat) when someone steps on a carpet.I want the text to name the person.

You can use the event collision_start() and use llDetectedName(0); to get the name of the avatar that steps on your carpet. Then, you just need to display it using llSetText();

Place the following in the root of the carpet.

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
    }

    collision_start(integer n)
    {

       //   Do not display owner
        if (llDetectedType(0) & AGENT && llDetectedKey(0) != llGetOwner())
        {
            string strName = llKey2Name(llDetectedKey(0));
            llSetText( strName, <0.004, 1.000, 0.439>, 1.0 );
        }
        else
            llSetText("", ZERO_VECTOR, 0);
    }
}

I leave it to you to improve with for example a time out or handling if more than one person stepping onto the carpet.
