Text Trigger
I need help, how do you trigger text to appear on the screen? so when you walk on something it will come up with text?..
Re: Text Trigger
I think it is better to thread the text. Else the trigger waits 5 seconds every time it get's touched. What if player 1 walks in to it and 2 seconds later player 2. Player 2 does not get the message because the trigger is still waiting.
At least I think it works that way.

Re: Text Trigger
You might be asking about hintstring's, which are the bit of text that appears towards the bottom of the screen, such as when it says "Press [Use] to pick up a weapon". In this case, make a trigger brush, right click the 2D window and select trigger > use_touch. Keep the brush selected, open the Entity window [N] and put these values in:
Key: hintstring
Value: What ever text you want to appear
Key: hintstring
Value: What ever text you want to appear

And is there a site or something where you can see which keys and values you can use?
