How do I remove floating text

[Rolig Loon]

Assuming that you have mod perms for the item, add this script to it.....

 

default{    state_entry()    {        llSetText("",<1.0,1.0,1.0>,1.0);        llRemoveInventory(llGetScriptName());    }}

 This will NOT work, however, if you have another script in the object that is creating the hover text every time it resets.  If that's the case:

(1) If the other script is ONLY a hover text script, simply delete it.

(2) If the other script is doing other things, and if you have mod perms for it, open the script and change the text in the llSetText command -- it's pretty obvious -- to look like my example above.

If you cannot delete or modify the script, then you'll just have to live with it.

 BTW, my script will delete itself immediately once it has erased the hover text, so you don't have to worry about cleanup.

 ETA: If hover text is hanging around even after you have deleted an object, you didn't delete the whole thing.  There's still a small or invisible prim that has the hover text in it.  Use CTRL + Alt + T to find it.

Hmmm,,, it didnt work and I was able to modify,,and delete the script but it is still there,,mocking me lol

[Rolig Loon]

Deleting the script isn't enough. Hover text can only be removed with a script. All you did was remove the script that MADE it. Did you insert my script to get rid of it?

[Varo88]

Yes and it gave me a syntax error,, should I be inserting it before or after the other script commands?

 

[Rolig Loon]

Ummm.. It's a freestanding script. You don't put it INTO another one. Just select the object with your Build/Edit tool (CTRL+3), go to the Contents page, and click New Script. Open the new script and paste this script into it, replacing the dummy script that is there already. Hit Save. It should execute instantly and then vanish, along with the hover text.

Press ctrl+alt+t all at once to see to there is a hidden object attached to your AV. If so remove it once you find it. When your done press ctrl+alt+t to remove the red effect. All buttons must be pushed at one time.

Good luck.

I created a new script, named it RenameScript, put only this code in it, dropped it in the object, and it worked perfectly.

 

Excellent job, thanks!

[Raven Firethorn]

Thank you for that information, I added it to my bear and it made the floating text disappear. Very simple!

[Sissy Ember]

I think I love you!!!!! I had added a floating text for a holiday and had no idea how to get rid of it. THANK you

Wow. It worked for me. Thanks.

Just a note  from a not terribly efficient script person. There has been a free script going around for over a decade called "scrubber" which preforms this tasks easily --- sooooooooo, many schools and building helper places will have that script in their give aways. There are likely a few dozen on the Marketplace for free also.

thanks for all the help, however i couldn't remove it any other way (even after deleting the hover-text script) ..so i simply add the floating-text-script again with nothing between ""

and worked finally, text gone!

just that:

 

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llAllowInventoryDrop(TRUE); 
        llSetText("", <1,1,1>, 1.5);
       
    }
}

Works when you put either script in the original Prim that ad the Hover Text script in the first place.  had a vehicle with 19 prims, once I got it into the correct one, it worked.
