Code Snippet

Plaintext

#include maps\_utility;
#include common_scripts\utility;
#include maps\_zombiemode_utility;

make_text()
{
          trigger = getent("text_trigger","targetname");
          trigger SetCursorHint("HINT_NOICON");
          trigger SetHintString("This is a trigger");

          trigger waittill("trigger");

          IPrintLnBold("TEXT HERE"); //                          THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE THE TEXT TO APPEAR ON THE SCREEN
          trigger delete();
}

To make so the text will appear when you hit the trigger by pressing F or something, make a trigger_use in radiant and name it,

Code Snippet

Plaintext

targetname - text_trigger

To make so the text will appear when you touch the trigger, make a trigger_multliple which you should find at the same place you make a trigger_use. And give it the same targetname I said before.

I put this into a new gsc file. but it doesnt work, do i need to name the gsc a certain name?

Yes you have to give the file a name, for example,

Code Snippet

Plaintext

text_pop.gsc

When you've done that you have to copy and paste it in,

Code Snippet

Plaintext

root/mods/mapname/maps/

Then open your MAPNAME.gsc which should be in that directory too. ^^
WHen you've open mapname.gsc, search for this line,

Code Snippet

Plaintext

maps\_zombiemode::main();

Under that line, paste this,

Code Snippet

Plaintext

thread maps\text_pop::make_text();

Then add the trigger with the targetname I said in the other post and build mod with those edited scripts and compile the map.
