on screen text location

[Achmed]

Is there any way to move the location hint text or is there another text location that can be used?

 

Im trying to get it to tell you that a crate has spawned and to check the map to find the area to search

 

trouble is, rTitleText is white text and does not jump out at you so some people may miss it and the hint message is where the debug monitor is and so it only flicks on and then is gone before you can read it.

 

i dont want to disable the debug

I know some people use cutText instead of rTitleText.

 

I think its lower on the screen, instead of over the crosshair region, more epoch-messages region.

would cutText give the option to change the position or color of the text?

I dont think cutText will allow you to change the color as it only accepts a string and not structured text. And you have only a few options for its location and how its displayed.

If you really want something that stands out, you could just make a small resource of your own and put it in your desired position. Then display it with a timed loop and close it after the timer is completed.
