~ * How to use * ~
While the script is in your inventory and before you put the script into the object, right click and open the properties of it and change it to either copy or transfer *not both* , depending on what the final permission of your build will be.
~~~ The script will not work until you do. ~~~
Then:
* Choose/create your object
* Update the .NR1 notecard with your text.
* Drop your notecard and the script into the object inventory
* Touch the object to check your text is displayed with the correct timings. If it does not work check for error messages in chat.
* When you are happy with the final reading, you're done!
~ * WARNING * ~
There are several SL limits that will stop a notecard from being accessed via a script or cause problems with accessing it:
* A notecard with embedded attachments will not be read at all and will appear empty.
* There is a limit of 1000 characters in a paragraph, but the script will automatically handle that.
* There is also an SL limit on the length of a notecard line that can be retrieved via a script. This limit is 255 characters per line - anything longer than that in a notecard is truncated to the first 255 characters.
So make sure you have periodic line breaks in your text.
NOTE:

The script is NO Modify to this product is worthless without permissions to modify the script....I was trying to learn to script and put something into one of my objects....but when I downloaded it, opened it, the script cannot be modified....
** I am not amused.....
You cannot change any of these items as it says you can...because the script cannot be modified...
(( * Say or Whisper
The notecard will be read out into chat via either Say or Whisper. To choose which, put ##say or ##whisper at the start of a new line.
Notecard paragraphs following this will obey the command. The default is Whisper, which is like having a ##whisper command as the first line of your notecard.
You can switch mode as often as you like, but only the more recent command will be in effect when a paragraph is read out e.g.)
