Thank you all so much for the help. I changed the first InstantMessage to RegionSayTo, and commented out the second. I added the timer stop to the state msg, and increased the time. I think I will try to figure out now how to change it from doing the hover text to just changing the color of the prim.

Hi there! So I am trying to work with a script from the Wiki, but I am having trouble figuring out where the timer is having trouble. The script is http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Online_Indicator, which I will also post below. When I click on it to test it, I get the two messages expected, but they are immediately followed by the out of time message from the timer(). I'm not quite sure what I need to change to solve that as I am very new to scripts. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? Also, should I be worried about the warning on the script wiki page indicating the changes to data scraping? //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Copyright (c) 2008 by Kristy Fanshaw // //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify // // it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by // // the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or // // (at your option) any later version. // // // // Online Indicator is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, // // but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of // // MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
