Text in the middle

Post by Blaah » Thu Dec 11, 2008 5:43 am

How do u put text in the middle of the map?
I've tried quest info, and the rest of the things, including put a tga image as a ubersplat(i think). It all turns out at the sides.

Use the X/Y coordinates of the DisplayTimedTextToPlayer() native.

LOL.

So, you used text popups instead of in-game text message?

Yeah, I did, and there's no perfect way of addressing that except making your messages short in length and take up more lines.
