I'm sick of people leaving their llSetText() scritps on objects just because they were too lazy to (or didn't know they could) remove them after the text was set. Plus, I'm always to lazy to remove my llSetText scripts from my objects. :)
This script will immediatly listen for the next thing spoken by the owner, then set the text to what was said, with the color based on which channel, then delete itself. I couldn't think of a faster way to do this. Simply drop the script on an object, say "/3 This is Red" and you're done.
I know this could be a lot more, but I like to keep things simple.
