Summary

Function: llSetSitText( string text );

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.

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."
