RE: Easy

You mean debug messages?

AddDebugMessage("Test", false);


You have to enable them by enabling ScriptDebug.
You can check out this guide.
https://wiki.frictionalgames.com/doku.ph...evenvguide

When you have enabled that, you can press F1 ingame and check "Show Debug Messages". Then the text will appear.

Trying is the first step to success.

RE: Easy

PHP Code: (Select All)
AddEffectVoice("Hereisthesoundfile.ogg""""Voice""00_Gameissaved"false""0); 
---
Voice= The langfile name Catagory;
Example:
Quote:<CATEGORY Name="Voice">
<Entry Name="00_Gameissaved">"Game saved"</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
---
The 00_Gameissaved is the text what will show up in the left corner.
For this above shows : "Game saved" in the left corner.

Hope it helps you.

RE: Easy

This is a callback used for dialogues.
AddEffectVoice(string& asVoiceFile, string& asEffectFile, string& asTextCat, string& asTextEntry,
bool abUsePosition, string& asPosEntity, float afMinDistance, float afMaxDistance);

Unless you use a voice file in there, the text isn't going to appear. You can always make a blank voice file, but I'd suggest using
SetMessage(string& asTextCategory, string& asTextEntry, float afTime);

It's much more handy, but it will display the message in the centre, as I recall.

IS WAY cheaper and looks unprofeccional for voiceacting!

Calm down man!
AddEffectVoice("Hereisthesoundfile.ogg", "", "Voice", "00_Gameissaved", false, "", 0, 0 );
WHat i subscribed above should work!
Don't worry about the function nameTongue it should work.

RE: Easy

The text in the corner is supposed to be subtitles for the voice acting.
That's why we're talking about voices.

I think you need a voice file, but you can just make a silent one if you don't want a voice.


Sorry I misunderstood you in the beginning. There are more than 1 type of text in the left corner.

Trying is the first step to success.

RE: Easy

Yep, you NEED a soundfile.
Just make an empty one.
For example if you read this tekst here:
Hello Daniel, i am not sure how i have to make a tekst appear below the screen.
If you read this is should take me : 5 seconds.
Make an empty sound file for 5 seconds that''s it Tongue
