Hi people, i have this problem:
I want to print on the screen a string from a script (like a timestamp for example).

The possible solutions that i know are:

1) the chat panel
2) a floating text on a creature's head


Are there other options for this problem ????

[Morbane]

you could look up Lance Botelle's xml tutorial and bring up GUIs with your text....

I've read it and i have put the string on the screen but ... the game doesn't go on !

even if i put "modal=false" in the xml
and used the instruction DisplayGuiScreen(oPC, "screen", FALSE, "timestamp.xml");
in the script ....

Why ???

You should be able to use the function SendMessagetoPC()

I believe that will show the message in larger yellow font across the upper portion of the screen. MotB used this in their companion influence system.

I'm pretty sure you're talking about SetNoticeText(). SendMessageToPC() just puts text in the chat box.

[Fabb_u]

Yes but the best solution is to draw the text on the interface using xml ... but i have to solve the problem !

[Morbane]

actually the most efficient way would be to use the SetNoticeText() function.

it basically sends a text string to the screen in the default color of yellow.

the xml way requires the text be inside a little box/window that would block the screen whilst it was showing

but if you wanted to have like a whole paragraph - the xml way is the way to go

mmm i don't know this function, is for nwn2 scripting ?

[Fabb_u]

ok, i tried the function and it's what i need, but is it possible to specify the position on the screen? because if it's only in the middle is not very usable ..

[Tchos]

To change the position on the screen, you would need to use custom XML.

[Fabb_u]

but with che custom XML i have to use displayGUIScreen which frozes the game ...

[Fabb_u]

Ok ok ok ... it was my fault !

The screen was "frozen" because the attribute "fullscreen" of the xcml object "scene" was true, so it was covering everithing .... problem solved !

yay!
