Displays text rather than the default "Sit Here" in the pie menu
• string | text |
Specification
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.
Caveats
- Text cannot be set by a script (calling this function) in a child prim.
- Note that like particles, and the other set text functions, all text set via llSetSitText 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.
- You have no control over the face, size or colour of the displayed text.
Examples
Usage
<lsl>default {
state_entry() { llSetSitText("Be Seated"); }
}</lsl>
Removing Sit Text
There is no way to stop a pie menu from having a "Sit Here" space reserved on it. Although by setting the string to a space no text will be shown.
To remove custom text that you have placed there, set the text as an empty string like this: "".
<lsl>default {
state_entry() { llSetSitText(""); }
}</lsl>
Upon your having done so, the text that appears will revert to "Sit Here."See Also
