The '''sign''' command renders text on an object with surfaces tagged with the value ''100''.

==Usage==
'''sign''' [''text''] [color=''text color''] [bcolor=''background color''] [name=''name'']
[face=''face''] [q=''quality''] [i=''italics''] [mip=''mip''] [global]

===text===
''text'' is the [[Object scripting#String|string]] value to render. If omitted, the sign text defaults to the contents of the object's [[Object Properties Dialog|description]] field. Conventionally, the description field is used.

===color===
The optional ''color'' argument specifies the [[Object scripting#Color|color]] of the text. If no color is specified, the color will default to white.

===bcolor===
The optional ''bcolor'' argument specifies the [[Object scripting#Color|color]] of the sign's background. If no bcolor is specified, the bcolor will default to blue.

===name===
The optional ''[[name]]'' argument specifies the name of the object to place the sign on.

===face===
:''Introduced in version 4.2''
The ''face'' [[Object scripting#String|string]] defines which locally installed font face to use for rendered text. The default face is ''Arial''.

===q===
:''Introduced in version 4.2''
''quality'' sets the resolution for the sign between 2 and 128. Long signs may need smaller qualities to clearly render.

===i===
:''Introduced in version 4.2''
The ''italics'' [[Object scripting#boolean|boolean]] formats rendered text in italics.

===mip===
By default, signs rendered in Active Worlds do not mip-map, even if the user has mip-mapping turned on in the video settings. The optional ''mip'' argument force applies mip-mapping to the sign it is used on.

===global===
The optional ''global'' argument will cause triggers to initiate the command for all users have the object in view. Without it, the command will be triggered exclusively for the user who activates the trigger ([[bump]], [[activate]], [[adone]]). By default, commands are not global.

==Examples==
[[create]] sign
Creates a sign using the default color scheme and containing whatever text is in the object's description field.

create sign "Warning!" color=red bcolor=yellow
Creates a sign which says "Warning!" in a rather garish color scheme.

create sign bcolor=FF00FF color=009900
Creates a sign with a bright purple background and green text.

create sign "Warning!" color=red bcolor=yellow face="Courier New" i=on q=128
Creates the warning sign in Courier New font, in italics, and with the best resolution.

==Notes==
* When specifying a font face, it is best to specify one [http://www.ampsoft.net/webdesign-l/WindowsMacFonts.html pre-installed on all systems].

* To get a line break within a sign, press CTRL and ENTER. This is useful for verses in greeting cards.
