(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hi all - you know the text that pops up when you can do something...eg picking up a weapon or climb over something, Itll say "Press X To Jump over" or something like that. Can I re-create this somehow? In another gamemode Im making, I want that to appear...at the moment, I have iprinlnbold repeating and it doesn't look right lol

Well, you could do a ghetto trigger of some sort.

    MakeGhettoTrigger(text, location, howclose)

{



 if(! isDefined( self.ghettotriggers ) )

 {

    self.ghettotriggers = [];

 }



index = self.ghettotriggers.size;



//********************************************************

self.ghettotriggers[index] =player createFontString("objective", 1.4);

self.ghettotriggers[index].x = 0;

self.ghettotriggers[index].y = 290;

self.ghettotriggers[index].sort = 4;

self.ghettotriggers[index].color = (1,1,1);

self.ghettotriggers[index].glowColor = (0,0,0);

self.ghettotriggers[index].glowAlpha = 0;

self.ghettotriggers[index] settext( text );

self.ghettotriggers[index].alpha = 1;

//********************************************************

showing = false;

for(;isDefined(self.ghettotriggers[index])

{

   if( Distance(self.origin, location ) <= howclose && !showing ) 

   {

     self.ghettotriggers[index] show();

     showing = true;

   }

   else if( showing )

   {

      self.ghettotriggers[index] hide();

      showing = false;

   }

  wait .05;

}



}



cleanup_trigger(index)

{

self.ghettotriggers[index] destroy();

}

Call as self thread MakeGhettoTrigger( "Press X for Example Text", somelocation , howfaraway );

If You want the trigger to go away, call cleanup_trigger( triggernumber ); //You might want to revise that, its just shorthanded.

Look at the health bar code from You must login or register to view this content. or any other of the text based functions.

Great. Will have a go. Thanks guys
