Text at the bottom of the screen

[Skul 0]

Before you moan at me, I have searched, but I can't find anything to answer it (I only ask if I really need to).

Is there a way to make text appear at the bottom of the screen when something happens, say you activate Radio Alpha or whatever.

I mean like in the game if you dont deactivate the radio and voice subtitles. This was in a supposed 'tutorial mission' (which did bugger all tutorialing).

If you want text to appear when you activate radio alpha, in the same trigger, simply click the "Effects" tab, and then where it says "Text" put in what you want it to say. Voila

No, no, no. You misunderstand, I did that, but it doesn't look good.

Go to Options/Difficulty. At the bottom of the screen, there is Subtitles Enabled/Disabled (w/e you set it as) and Radio Subtitles Enabled/Disabled (w/e you set it as).

I want Radio Subtitles in my missions saying what I want. I don't care that it doesn't create sound, I can worry about that later.

From the Official Command Reference-

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">sideChat chatText

Operand types:

   chatText: String

Type of returned value:

   Nothing

Description:

   Type text to side radio channel. Note: this function only types text to the list, it does not broadcast the message. If you want the message to show on all computers, you have to execute it on them.

Example:

   soldierOne sideChat "Show this text"

The comref is avaiable at www.flashpoint1985.com/doc/comref_102002.zip

A comref in the hand is worth two tutorials in the bush.
