Function: llSetText( stringtext, vectorcolor, floatalpha );Displays text that hovers over the prim with specific color and translucency (specified with alpha).
| • string | text | – | floating text to display |
| • vector | color | – | color in RGB <R, G, B> (<0.0, 0.0, 0.0> = black, <1.0, 1.0, 1.0> = white) |
| • float | alpha | – | from 0.0 (clear) to 1.0 (solid) (0.0 <= alpha <= 1.0) |
Caveats
- Do not rely on Floating Text as a storage medium; it is neither secure nor finalized.
- Floating text has been altered in past server updates, breaking existing content; future changes may occur.
- Even 'invisible'[1] floating text is transmitted to the client.
- It can be viewed by anyone with a client that is capable of rendering text that is supposed to be invisible.
- The network packets that contain the text can be sniffed and the text read.
- 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 limited to 254 bytes (compare Limits#Building), 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).
- text can be seen through walls and other object. Be considerate of neighbors in malls and apartment buildings.
- Visibility distance increases with prim size.
- Removing the script or deactivating it will not remove a prim's text property. Floating text is not dependent on a script for its continued existence but only when wanting to change it.
- To remove a prim's text, use the following:
| Preferred method to remove a prim's floating text | Second method does the same effect-wise. |
|---|
- 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:
| Good | Bad |
|---|
- Measurements showed a high impact of process time when doing numerous iterations in a while loop. For approx. 65 thousand iterations the process times are ca. 5 seconds without floating text, 24 seconds with llSetText and 96 seconds when using llSetPrimitiveParams#llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast in combination with PRIM_TEXT. Thats why you are not advised to make excessive use of changing a prim's text within such iterations.
Examples
Example of how llSetText could be used to show prim's name in green text:
By default the floating text will appear on a single line. However, it can be spread over multiple lines by using a line break 'n' (read SplitLine in section 'See Also').
String escape codes:
LSL has four string escape codes:
nfor a new linefor a backslashtfor a tab'for a double-quote

The x, y & z components of the vector are used to represent red, green, and blue respectively. The range is different from traditional RGB, instead of being 0 -> 255, LSL uses 0 -> 1. <1.0, 1.0, 1.0> represents 'white' and <0.0, 0.0, 0.0> represents 'black':
If alpha is 1.0 it means the text is fully opaque (alpha), 0.0 would make it completely transparent (invisible):
Multiple lines
Useful Snippets
Drag this script out of inventory onto an object to erase its set text:
Code to easily specify appearance of hovertext:
To make hovertext when using linked prims you can use this simple function:
Notes
To actually display text on a prim, see XyzzyText, or consider using parcel prim Media options (useful only if you have control over the land's media settings.)
The function displays text that hover over the prim's center, the prim position. The height over the center is proportional to the prim's Z-dimension exclusively
- It doesn't matter how the prim is rotated, so if Z is smaller than X and Y the text may be seen on the prim
