i'm starting a tutorial and i'm having trouble with hudline's... i would like to use it "alot" as a comment or thinking to yourself within the game, or responses for tutorial purposes (repetition)... also, if it is possible, to delay the hudline seconds or "press SPACE to continue" or whatever... its probably real simple and i havent worked that long on it (been busy with quests etc) but i need to know if it is possible so i can use it... or not use it... whatever the case... and move on... thx

The whole point of the hudlines is to communicate important things to the player; Such as quests progress and levels ups.
What you're trying to do is not the intention of the hudlines.
I would suggest an NPC that acts as an infodump for tutorial purposes.

Practically I agree to Hirato, technically I would like to add:
"normal"
Code: Select all
hudline "The text which should appear"
sleep 1000 miliseconds and then show the hudline
Code: Select all
r_sleep 1000; hudline "The text which should appear"
I think there is no command so far to set the length it should be shown nor a command to force it to hide.
