Emblem-important-yellow.png LSL Feature Request
The described function does not exist. This article is a feature request.

Summary

Function: llSetFaceText( integer face, string text, integer chars_per_line, vector color, integer font );
REQUEST Function ID
0.0 Forced Delay
10.0 Energy

Will display text on face in the specified color as a regular texture would, using the assigned font, and wrapping lines at the end of chars_per_line.

• integer face the face number of the prim
• string text text to display
• integer chars_per_line number of characters until wrapping lines
• vector color RBG color at which text will be displayed
• integer font the font used

Caveats

  • Text is limited to 1024 bytes, if the string is longer it will be truncated to 1024 bytes.
  • Text will stretch across the face of the prim as a texture would, while following the chars_per_line rule only in changing the textual structure.
  • To remove face text from face, use the following:
llSetFaceText(face, "", 0, <1.0, 1.0, 1.0>, 0);
  • The font type will be based on any font built-in to the release client and available as LSL constants, such as:
    • FACE_FONT_TIMES_NEW_ROMAN
    • FACE_FONT_SANS_SERIF
    • etc
  • Use -1 for chars_per_line to disable word wrapping
