Quick script func! - SLAMnesia - 06-29-2011

Heya!
Whats the script line for a function where it displays a message in the middle of your screen while you look at an entity?
I know it involves .lang file as well but I'm really lost can someone give me an entire description of what I need to do Big Grin

plox

this is what I have so far:

Code:
void OnStart()

{

SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback( "shirt1", "LookingFunc1", false);

}

void LookingFunc1(string &in entity, int alState)

{

void SetMessage(shirt, shirt, 1);

}

I might as well just give you an example.

This is what somebody's extra_english.lang file could look like:

Code:
<LANGUAGE>

<CATEGORY Name="Messages">

<Entry Name="Message01">Hello world!</Entry>

</CATEGORY>

</LANGUAGE>

With that, they could use a SetMessage command that looks like this:

SetMessage("Messages", "Message01", 3);

If that were to run, it would display "Hello world!" to the center of the screen. I hope this helps. Smile
