I'm the Original
CorreyText( CorreyText )
{
CorreyText = self createFontString( "default", 1.4 );
CorreyText setPoint( "TOPRIGHT", "TOPRIGHT", -15, 10);
CorreyText setText( CorreysText );
wait 1;
CorreyText FadeOverTime( 1.0 );
CorreyText.alpha = 0;
}
now, you want to change the font or position you need to edit these codes here
CorreyText = self createFontString( "default", 1.4 );
CorreyText setPoint( "TOPRIGHT", "TOPRIGHT", -15, 10);
also, my text fades out.. here's the code for that too. - 1.0 being the time it takes to fade out!
CorreyText FadeOverTime( 1.0 );
Now, to show the text just add this code.
self thread CorreyText("Any Text Here");
The following 2 users say thank you to Correy for this useful post:

In case you want to change the font type...
"default" // HE_FONT_DEFAULT
"bigfixed" // HE_FONT_BIGFIXED
"smallfixed" // HE_FONT_SMALLFIXED
"objective" // HE_FONT_OBJECTIVE
