Changing a taxi into a hud. Possible?

[Kinezumi]

Most places don't allow you to rez a "taxi" (ie to be ridable as a horse or climb things as a spider or squirrel). If you wear it and then sit on it, you just groundsit and don't move at all. If the script happens to be modifiable, is there any way to change it to work as a wearable hud, without having to sit on it?

You can't ride a HUD, if that's what you are asking.  If you are asking about how to control a vehicle in a no-rez area, though, there is one answer (other than, "You can't."):

If your scripted object takes control before you enter the area, then you will still have control until you release it by standing up or detaching it.  If the script doesn't already have a control event, you can add one and just include a llTakeControls statement that ends with TRUE,TRUE.  That's the way that vehicles are AOs are scripted, to guarantee that they don't quit when you enter a restricted area.

So if I rez it in a sandbox and sit on it, and then go somewhere else, it will still work?

If you have scripted it to take controls before you get "somewhere else", yes.  As I said, that's the standard way vehicles and AOs are scripted to keep working under those circumstances.

Good to know. Thank you so much!
