This function is used to set text to display over an object in SL.

Returns a displayed text text floating over object

• String text – text to display between the quotes
• Vector color – color in RGB enclosed between <> signs, as in <0,0,0> = black, <1,1,1> = white
• Float alpha – visibility, a number between 0 and 1. 0 is fully transparent (invisible), 1.0 is fully visible (opaque).
llSetText( string text, vector color , float alpha );

• string text • vector color • float alpha

Use:

Set text floating over object


Examples:

llSetText("I am on", <1,1,1>,1.0);

<1,1,1> represents the values for red, green, and blue. <1,1,1>, means "white" and <0,0,0> means "black". Replace the llSay(0,"turning off!"); with...

llSetText("I am off", <0,0,0>,1.0);

The 1.0 is the alpha setting. 1.0 means fully opaque, and 0.0 would be completely transparent (invisible).
