text splash
- 4A Games
Overview
Prints a text on the scene. Good for debugging.
Text Splash is very handy for debugging because their activations are automatically shown in the Log as follows:
[85311] *** TEXT SPLASH *** [Fail] [vs_script_0000]
In this example:
[85311] – is the frame where the Text Splash has been activated.
[Fail] – is the text that has been specified in the Text property.
[vs_script_0000] – is the exact name of the script where the Text Splash is located.
