I have a hobby of futzing small scripts together from time to time for my own purposes. I've always wanted to release these, but can't find the time/money/will to start a website around it, so I'm listing them here.
_____

This script in particular is more useful for Storytellers in Roleplay Sims who'd like more interaction in the environment they've built, but dislike having to emote themselves for every small thing, or have the object speak/spam in Local Chat.

Instead, the script will allow anyone to click it, with the outcome differing based on their distance from it.

Within a predetermined range (that you can change), the object will briefly (for a period you can change to suit your needs) show a hovertext above it.
Outside of this range, and they will be privately told in Local Chat that they should get closer.

This is meant to emulate some RPG games, like the Shadowrun remake trilogy, where you can interact with minor objects to make small observations about them.

As usual with my scripts, while this script is priced at L$20, I have a made a free version available, which you can find at the following pastebin:

The L$20 price is simply there as an appreciation fee for anyone who liked the script and would like to use Linden Dollars to show their appreciation. Considering a method of donating, and wholly optional.

As an added bonus, the script you purchase here will be complete with a myriad of //comments to help explain virtually every function in the script, in case you'd like to understand how it ticks. If you have no need of this, the free pastebin version is without any helping //comments.

As usual, there's no licensing requirement, nothing of the sort. It's yours to do with as you please.
Be well. <3
