A pretty neat notecard reader that works in a HUD. It will span speech over multiple notecards. It can whisper and shout, or be mute. You can make as many copies as you want for different lectures; change the object name to keep track of what is stored on that Reader.
Right click and "Wear" to start using. It comes loaded with a short tutorial that it will cover basic operations. There is a notecard included with additional instructions.
Note: Due to a limitation of the scripting language, single lines can only be 255 characters long--you'll have to split very long sentences into multiple lines. Usually this isn't a problem, but seems to be the biggest complaint with this product.
(December 2012) Version 1.05 is available: this fixes a bug when a script that listens to open chat sees the /me the HUD puts in front of every line. An option in the +Settings card changes this. Also, some other small changes. No need to update if you don't see the /me
- Pre-load text to be typed into chat.
- Controls to allow you to skip around in a chat.
- Easy to set up and use.
Just what I was looking for. Simple, inexpensive and it works.
