At this rate, I'll start thinking you do not even read the descriptions since you see it is something you have to evaluate.

What's so hard in using SetMessage function?
SetMessage("Category", "Entry", 0);
This, if your text category in .lang file is named Category and entry is named Entry. You can change 0 to another number depending how long you want that text to stay on the screen. You can read the description to learn what 0 does.
You see, I try it myself, I look at the forum, I search what I want to do, I test it, I fail and THEN I come with a new thread...

I appreciate every help I can get... I don't appriciate someone who just Copy Paste and then expect me to figure it out at an instant, I hate doing that. I went first to the wiki site and omfg they are poor to explain in detail, then I found the forums, I asked the community and Great! I find out how to do these things, so when I face something new I want to do, I first search the forum for help, I get no dime out of it since it lacks the threads for what I need, so hey! I make my own thread! Only to face someone who copy pastes...

If I had this gift of scripting, knowing every command, what it does, when to use it, how to use it, and why to use it. I would help people in detail instead of rushing to the Wiki site as fast as I can and hold my fingers on the mouse ready to press CTRL+C and CTRL+V, and then run away from the thread expecting people to know what to do. When people copy and paste, I feel helpless.
