+---- Thread: void SetMessage(string& asTextCategory, string& asTextEntry, float afTime); (/thread-16507.html)
void SetMessage(string& asTextCategory, string& asTextEntry, float afTime); - Jagsrs28 - 06-26-2012
void SetMessage(string& asTextCategory, string& asTextEntry, float afTime);
Displays a message on the screen.
asTextCategory - the category in the .lang file
asTextEntry - the entry in the .lang file
afTime - determines how long the message is displayed. If time is < =0 then the life time is calculated based on string length.
Now, when it says "the category in the .lang file" what do I name the category? Can I name it anything I want?
Also, when it says "the entry in the .lang file" what do I name the entry? Can I name it anything I want? (I think I can)
Thank You

Yes, you can name the category file whatever you want, I suggest you should name it "Messages". You can also name the entry whatever you want!
Hope I helped

asTextCategory - // aka "Messages" "Descriptions" "Inventory" and so on. Basicly categories in the .lang file.
asTextEntry - the entry in the .lang file // entry name, for example Category: Inventory Entry name: >"Key_1"<
afTime - determines how long the message is displayed. If time is < =0 then the life time is calculated based on string length. // TIME: HOW MUCH TIME THIS MESSAGE OF YOURS WILL BE DISPLAYED

I already knew that lol... I have it all documented into my computer. Its much easier to find things that way.
