Getting messages on the screen Need Help - stonecutter - 02-14-2011
Hello everybody someone got an idea how to get messages in the left subcorner like the subtitels in the fullgame ?
Ist there a way that this will work , cause it looks a bit stupid if my charakter is speaking to himself in my custom story and the message are shown in the middle of the HUD ...
Thank you very much
hope you understand my english

If you are using SetMessage then it will be on the middle, try to use flashbacks or soundeffects.

Yeah now i am using setmessage for a message that comes up if i enter a new chapter in my story ... like " chapter one - blablabla " ... that works quite good !
It looks like
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player" , "ChapterArea" , "CH1" , true , 1);
and then the
.... SetMessage("Messages", "CH1", 4.0f);
Is there a way to do it the same way in left down corner ?
@Tanshaydar

Thanks

I think it is this way:
Code:
void AddEffectVoice( string& asVoiceFile, string& asEffectFile,
string& asTextCat, string& asTextEntry, bool abUsePostion,
string& asPosEnitity, float afMinDistance, float afMaxDistance);
