The '''text''' is limited to 9 characters. A tab (\t) counts as 4 characters. The newline character (\n) will count as 1 character, though it is a bit of a waste, as it will have no effect on how the text is displayed. Aside from counting toward the limit, it will otherwise be ignored.

Note that like particles, and the other set text functions, all text set via llSetTouchText becomes a property of a  prim, not a script. For that reason, the text will remain if the script that set it is deactivated or even removed.
**The newline character (\n) will count as 1 byte, but will have no effect on how the text is rendered (so don't use it).
 
**The byte count for each Unicode character is equal to the number of bytes needed to represent it in UTF-8.
You have no control over the face face, size or colour of the displayed text.

== Removing Touch Text ==
There is no way to stop a pie menu from having a "Touch" space reserved on it.
To remove custom text that you have placed there, set the text as space: "&nbsp;".
<lsl>default{
    state_entry(){
        llSetTouchText(" ");
    }
}</lsl>
Upon your having done so, the text that appears will revert to "Touch."

Summary

Function: llSetTouchText( string text );

Displays text rather than the default "Touch" in the pie menu

• string text

This is very similar to LlSetSitText.
To restore the default value, use an empty string for text.
To make it appear as if there is no text, use some combination of whitespace characters for text.

Caveats

  • The text is limited to 9 bytes.
    • A tab (\t) counts as 4 bytes (four spaces).
    • The newline character (\n) will count as 1 byte, but will have no effect on how the text is rendered (so don't use it).
    • The byte count for each Unicode character is equal to the number of bytes needed to represent it in UTF-8.
