Hi HudsonBalboa
I know sometimes it's hard to explain exactly what you need/want?
Your title says "Text on Screen" but your script is for a image type hud.
Are you wanting to show "text" or picture/image hud?
I think your trying to show more than one picture ? Correct?
How many?
Here's a link to help you along. Scroll down till you see "Displaying a HUD"

My games never have bugs. They just develop random features..
Lots and lots of random features...

Do you mean "more than ONE picture" or have the script reset & run when player is in triggerzone again?
Here's a simple script to display more than one hud.

+ Code Snippet

:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=80,hudimagefine=gamecore\text\user\texto1\messageimage1.dds,hudname=firstmessage,hudhide=1,hudmake=display
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=80,hudimagefine=gamecore\text\user\texto1\messageimage2.dds,hudname=secondmessage,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=1

:state=1,plrwithinzone=1:etimerstart,hudshow=firstmessage,state=2,sound=audiobank\tutorialmessage\messagebleep.ogg
:state=2,etimergreater=10000:hudfadeout=firstmessage,hudshow=secondmessage,etimerstart,state=3
:state=3,etimergreater=10000:hudfadeout=secondmessage,state=4,sound=audiobank\tutorialmessage\message.ogg
:state=4,plrwithinzone=0:state=0

You can easily add more images to the top and keep adding to the script timer meet your needs.

I need it to work when I get back in the trigger zone , using the same script, just changing the image ( hud ) that appears on the screen. ( Along with sound and everything else) it no longer works when you step through it once, the next trigger it does not work , already tried other image formats (which is written my text ) already tried to change folders , change a little the script but nothing worked , I would be very happy if you could help me , my friend, I thank you very much !

Ok, I think I understand what you mean. This script should display one message when play enters trigger.
Then when player enters trigger a second time it displays second message.

+ Code Snippet

:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=80,hudimagefine=gamecore\text\user\texto1\messageimage1.dds,hudname=firstmessage,hudhide=1,hudmake=display
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=80,hudimagefine=gamecore\text\user\texto1\messageimage2.dds,hudname=secondmessage,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=1

;DISPLAY FIRST MESSAGE
:state=1,plrwithinzone=1:etimerstart,hudshow=firstmessage,state=2,sound=audiobank\tutorialmessage\messagebleep.ogg
:state=2,etimergreater=10000:hudfadeout=firstmessage,state=3
:state=3,plrwithinzone=0:state=4

;DISPLAY SECOND MESSAGE
:state=4,plrwithinzone=1:etimerstart,hudshow=secondmessage,state=5,sound=audiobank\tutorialmessage\message.ogg
:state=5,etimergreater=10000:hudfadeout=secondmessage,state=6
:state=6,plrwithinzone=0:state=0

Remember to change the image names to match yours.

+ Code Snippet

;Header
 
desc          = Display a custom message on screen
 
;Triggers
 
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=75,hudimagefine=gamecore\Text\panel1.dds,hudname=recepscreenmsg,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=10

Ah, I think I understand. You want another trigger to trigger this script?
BlackFox explains it clearly in this posting...https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/200599

Quote: "how can I add time this script for the message getting more screen time"

Add an "etimer" after the hud shows for how long you need to.

+ Code Snippet

:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=75,hudimagefine=gamecore\Text\panel1.dds,hudname=recepscreenmsg,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=10
:state=10,plrdistwithin=50:etimerstart,hudshow=recepscreenmsg,state=11
:state=11,etimergreater=5000:hudfadeout=recepscreenmsg,state=12

Look at the code, you'll see I gave it 5 sec's. (1000=1 sec) Adjust to you needs.

thank you, you helped me a lot my friend!

I just have one last question, and it is the most important of all !

I am using this script for the first TG

+ Code Snippet

;Header
  
desc          = Display a custom message on screen
  
;Triggers
  
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=75,hudimagefine=gamecore\text\text1.dds,hudname=recepscreenmsg,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=10
:state=10,plrdistwithin=50:etimerstart,hudshow=recepscreenmsg,state=11
:state=11,etimergreater=9000:hudfadeout=recepscreenmsg,state=12
  
;End of Script

and this for the second:

+ Code Snippet

;Header
  
desc          = Display a custom message on screen
  
;Triggers
  
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=75,hudimagefine=gamecore\text\text2.dds,hudname=recepscreenmsg,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=10
:state=10,plrdistwithin=50:etimerstart,hudshow=recepscreenmsg,state=11
:state=11,etimergreater=9000:hudfadeout=recepscreenmsg,state=12
  
;End of Script

but when I go to the second TG does not work , simply nothing appears on the screen...

I have two TG , one away from the other...

just what I first floor works , the second does not , nothing appears . I have to change something in the script for this?

thanks for replying again!! thanks thanks!!!! alot

I really can't see why this wont work? Double check your image file path & the file name.
Is it "hudimagefine=gamecore\text\text2.dds" or is it in "hudimagefine=languagebank\gamecore\text\text2.dds" ?
Sometimes that makes a difference.
