[Opensim-users] Floating text not going away

[Ai Austin]

There are a number of persistent properties of objects which stay 
even when the scripts which originally set up the values or 
properties are removed.  You can explicitly remove the properties 
with a script which sets things to some null or empty state 
typically.  The properties include:

Text Label
Rotation
Particle Effect
Sound Emitted and Volume Level
Sit Position

Here is an LSL script I keep handy to pup in a prim I want to remove 
properties from.  I just put this in the object and then remove it 
again, just to make sure I start with things in a default or empty 
state where I reuse complicated objects.

// Prim Turn Off Properties

default
{
     state_entry()
     {
         // Turn off any previously set sit target on prim
         llSitTarget(ZERO_VECTOR,ZERO_ROTATION);

         // Stop any rotation
         llTargetOmega(<0,0,0>,0,0);

         // Turn off any particle effects in prim
         llParticleSystem([]);

         // Turn off any sounds in prim - see 
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlStopSound
         llStopSound();

         llSetText("", <1,1,1>, 1.0);
         llSetSitText("");
     }

     touch_start (integer num_detected) {
         // Turn off any previously set sit target on prim
         llSitTarget(ZERO_VECTOR,ZERO_ROTATION);

         // Stop any rotation
         llTargetOmega(<0,0,0>,0,0);

         // Turn off any particle effects in prim
         llParticleSystem([]);

         // Turn off any sounds in prim - see 
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlStopSound
         llStopSound();

         llSetText("", <1,1,1>, 1.0);
         llSetSitText("");

         llSitTarget(ZERO_VECTOR,ZERO_ROTATION);

     }

}
