HUD text in CS:S

[Phisionary]

I want to have text appear on-screen when the player enters a certain area. I have a trigger_multiple set to trigger it, and tried runnin an output to an env_message, but it doesn't work. I tried manually using a game_text (although removed in my custom fgd's) and that didn't work either. Anyone know how to get something like this to work?

Oh yes, this in in CS:S, btw.

Game_text, point_message, env_message, none of them work...

 

[Phisionary]

Ah. So I guess you can't do text on the screen in CS. darn.

off-topic, but how come you took func_illusionary out of your fgd's?
just curious.

 

[Raeven0]

Because a func_brush can be nonsolid. Func_brush is a lot more powerful than func_illusionary; why waste space and effect confusion?

When I made my glass nonsolid with func_brush (Toggling) it dissapeared.

Anyway, are you sure it's not more of a performance stress? Illusionary is a permanent state while this one has to be chached for two options.

How about "Never Solid" in the func_brush's properties

The Toggle input turns the brush from solid-and-visible to nonsolid-and-invisible, not simply from solid to nonsolid.

I know, but it sucks. I want it to be illusionary (Without the extra work) by toggling.

 

[Raeven0]

You want to be able to toggle solidity without toggling visibility?

 

[Dead-Inside]

Indeed. I can get around it with a nodraw func_brush and a func_illusionary used together, but that's a lot of extra work for a funmap that's supposed to revolve around it. Or was, it didn't work out as I planned anyway .

 

[Raeven0]

So you would use one func_brush that's always solid and one func_brush that's never solid... simple

fro env-mesage you need a titles.txt with the right script in it i culd learn you
but gametext works just fine

Not in CS:S.
