Title: Displaying Text and Messages
Post by: Aeterna Games | Æ on April 23, 2020, 02:21:05 AM
How can I change the text-size and fade-in time or animation to show a text?

Example:
Code: [Select]
delay 5 seconds
^Hello World
overhead = 8
//change text-size and fade-in time here...

I want to make something like a tutorial.

I'm sorry to disappoint, but you'll have to manually create text fade-in/out sprites yourself. PB currently does not have that ability. Now before you get upset, remember that TingThing is one person. And can't do everything. That's the best I can give you for now.

How can I show two ^Messages at the same time at two different positions?

Far as I can tell, not possible.

you cannot show two overhead messages, but you can display 20 texts using hud... texts.

I know, but can I make them bigger?

It's times like these when I'm tempted to make another text suggestion...But I come to think of it, I already suggested this.
