[Opensim-users] Floating text not going away

[Jor3l Boa]

And you can do the same HOUR:MINUTES thing with just:

---
default
{
state_entry()
{
llSetTimerEvent(30); // Why every 2 seconds if you show minutes :)
}
timer()
{
list timestamp = llParseString2List(llGetTimestamp(), ["-", ":"], ["T"]);
llSetText(llDumpList2String(llList2List(timestamp, 4, 5), ":"), <1,1,1>, 1);
}
}
