This LSL script is a fully interactive New Year Message Board designed for clubs, party venues, countdown areas, event spaces, and festive builds in Second Life. It turns any prim into a living display where messages cycle automatically, change colors, and can be updated by both the owner and visitors through simple touch menus.
Here’s the thing: most message boards are static. You hardcode text, reset the script, and hope guests read it. This script does the opposite. It invites participation. Guests can submit their own greetings, wishes, or short messages, and those messages instantly become part of the rotating display. No admin intervention needed, no notecards, no clutter.
The display uses floating hover text, making it visible without blocking movement or requiring people to cam around. Each message appears in a randomly generated festive color, keeping the display lively and celebratory—perfect for New Year parties, countdown events, and crowded club floors.
For owners, control is simple and clean. Touch the object and you get a private owner-only menu. From there, you can add messages, clear everything with one click, adjust how fast messages rotate, or print the full message list to owner chat. No complicated commands. No channel guessing. Everything is menu-driven and safe to use even during busy events.
Public users get a limited, friendly menu. They can add a message or close the dialog. That’s it. They can’t delete messages, change speed, or interfere with settings. This keeps the experience fun without risking abuse or accidental changes.
Memory safety is built in. The script enforces a configurable message limit, preventing runaway memory use if the object is left out for long periods or heavily used during events. Once the limit is reached, users are politely informed that the list is full. This makes the script reliable for long-running venues and 24/7 clubs.
Speed control is another strong point. You’re not locked into a fixed timing. Want fast-paced energy during countdown hour? Speed it up. Want a relaxed vibe earlier in the evening? Slow it down. Changes apply instantly, without resetting the script or losing messages.
The script automatically cycles through messages using a timer event. When it reaches the end of the list, it loops back to the beginning. No dead ends, no blank states. If the list is empty, the display shows a helpful prompt telling users to touch the object and add a greeting.
Installation is straightforward. Drop the script into any prim, save it, and it starts working immediately. No linked prims required. No external assets. No dependencies. It works equally well as a sign, a decorative prop, a stage element, or a wall-mounted display.
This script is sold with full permissions, allowing you to:
Use it in unlimited builds
Modify it to suit your own systems
Resell it as part of products or builds
Learn from the code structure if you’re developing your own LSL tools
Because the code is clean, commented, and logically structured, it’s also a great learning resource for scripters who want to understand menu handling, public vs owner permissions, timers, and safe list management in LSL.
While it’s perfect for New Year events, it’s not limited to them. With a quick edit of the default messages, this script works for:
Club announcements
Event greetings
Birthday messages
Wedding guest books
Seasonal displays
Welcome boards
In short, this is a practical, interactive, and reliable script that adds real engagement to your space. Set it once, let your guests interact with it, and focus on running your event.
