How to show text at a certain point?

Hey, I just started attempting making a custom story, and I want to know how I can make some text show at the beginning, without having to click anything.

I want some white text to show in the middle of the screen saying "Run and hide!"

Thanks for help.
Nevermind, I figured it out. I guess the best way to learn is to mess with it, alot.

Set up trigger if you know how, then use that code:

SetMessage("Category Name", "EntryName", 0);

that 0 is lenght. If it is 0, then it will calculate itself, depending how long ur text is.

Then inside extra_english put inside other stuff:

<CATEGORY Name="Category Name">
<Entry Name="EntryName">Text here!</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
