Text on screen when a new scene loads
« on: December 11, 2008, 03:51:14 AM »

I'd like to have a simple message show up on screen when a scene loads without anyone having to touch anything.  :  )

F.e. "Agent Kolobok whispers from your backpack, It's snowing in the tunnels, Boss, we must be close to the weather spell thief." 

Can I do this without creating a window for the text to appear in?  I tried Game.Msg and actor.Talk and AddText (without creating a window, which I know is probably not going to work) and none of those worked, just a script error.

If I have to create and destroy a window it's OK. But was wondering if I really have to do that.  : )

use an invisible actor or make your actor invisible. set it's position in the scene, then use talk.
