*If more than one llSetText is called (By reset,interaction or script state) within a prim the latest call will take priority over the previous.
*'''text''' is [[limit]]ed to 254 [[bytes]], if the string is longer it will be truncated to 254 bytes, even if that means the truncation will chop a character in half.
*An unbroken line of text of a great length may be broken automatically into two lines (one above the other).
*Floating text can be seen through walls and other object. Be considerate of neighbors in malls and apartment buildings.
**Visability distance increases with prim size.
*Removing the script or deactivating it will not remove the prim's floating text.
**Floating text is a prim property and not dependent on a script for its continued existence.
*To remove floating text, use the following:
<lsl>llSetText("", <1.0, 1.0, 1.0>, 1.0);</lsl>
*Shift-copying does not keep the floating text prim property. If the llSetText() script is not triggered when a copy made, the copy will not have the floating text.
*Vertical whitespace is removed from the end of the text string, so if you want vertical whitespace put any character (like a space) on the last line.
*Multiple linebreaks with empty lines are converted to a single linebreak, so add a whitespace character on every line you want to skip:
<lsl>llSetText("Monkeys\n\n\n\n\n", <1.0, 1.0, 1.0>, 1.0);//Bad
llSetText("Monkeys\n \n \n \n \n ", <1.0, 1.0, 1.0>, 1.0);//Good</lsl>

Example of how llSetText could be included in default code to show object's name in green text:
<lsl>default
{
state_entry()
{
llSay(0, "Hello, Avatar!");
llSetText(llGetObjectName(), <0.0, 1.0, 0.0>, 1.0); // Display the object's current name in green
}

touch_start(integer total_number)
{
llSay(0, "Touched.");
}
}</lsl>
By default the floating text will appear on a single line. However, the floating text can be spread over multiple lines by using a line break "\n" (read [[SplitLine]] in section 'See Also').

The x, y & z components of the vector are used to represent red, green, and blue respectively. The range is different than traditional RGB, instead of being 0 -> 255, LSL uses 0 -> 1. <1.0, 1.0, 1.0>, means "white" and <0.0, 0.0, 0.0> means "black":
<lsl>llSetText("I am white", <1.0, 1.0, 1.0>, 1.0);//white text</lsl>
<lsl>llSetText("I am black", <0.0, 0.0, 0.0>, 1.0);//black text</lsl>
The 1.0 is the alpha setting. 1.0 means fully opaque, and 0.0 would be completely transparent (invisible):
<lsl>llSetText("alpha", <0.0, 1.0, 0.0>, 0.5);//50% translucent green text</lsl>

<lsl>llSetText("I am \n on two lines!", <0.0, 1.0, 0.0>, 1.0);//two lines of green text</lsl>

default
{

{
llSetText(hoverText, hoverColor, hoverAlpha);

To make hovertext under linked prims you can use this simple function:
<lsl>
mySetLinkText(integer linknum, string text, vector color, float alpha) {
llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(linknum,[PRIM_TEXT,text,color,alpha]);
}

// For example:

<lsl>
mySetLinkText(integer linknum, string text, vector color, float alpha)

state_entry()
{
llSetText(hoverText, hoverColor, hoverAlpha);
}
}</lsl>
To make hovertext under linked prims you can use this simple script (put him in each prim):
<lsl>
default
{
link_message(integer sender, integer num, string str, key id)
{
if (llGetSubString(id, 0, 7) == "SET_TEXT") {
llSetText(str, (vector)llGetSubString(id, 9, -1), num/1000.0);
}
}
}</lsl>
To do it, just use this function in your main script:
<lsl>mySetLinkText(integer linknum, string text, vector color, float alpha)
{
llMessageLinked(linknum, llRound(alpha*1000), text, "SET_TEXT "+(string)color);
}</lsl>
For example:
<lsl>touch_start(integer total_number)
{
mySetLinkText(LINK_SET, "TEST", <0,1,0>, 0.5);
}</lsl>
