widget.set_text

Set the HUD widget's text.

Arguments

text

The text to display. This is a persistent format string.

Example

for each player do
   script_widget[0].set_visibility(current_player, false)
   if current_player.number[0] == 1 then
      script_widget[0].set_visibility(current_player, true)
      script_widget[0].set_text("You are a zombie!")
   end
end

Notes

• A HUD widget must display the same format string to all players. If you may need to display completely different text to different players at the same time, you will need to define multiple widgets and manage their visibility and text appropriately.

  Some format string parameters make it possible to display different values within a single string, for each player viewing the widget. The hud_player variable is one such parameter.

• Only the first 116 characters of the specified string will be displayed; this limitation applies after all format string parameters are substituted in. It seems that the UI reserves room for 117 characters, including an invisible "end of text" marker.
