I want to have a bit where you spawn and it has a message at spawn that says "Get your weapons". The text zone does that, right? It has "Hello World!" set as the default, and you can change that, right? Well, I try to and it doesn't save the change. It only saves it if I clear it. It saves anything else I put in, but not the text, the most important part. Every time it resets to "Hello World!". PLEASE HELP ME I HAVE BEEN BANGING MY HEAD AGAINST A WALL FOR 10 MINUTES CAUSE NO ONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS ISSUE

GG- Lua text scripting is pretty easy to pick up.

My suggestion is to divorce the pre-fab systems
that can sometimes only hinder your progress.

Here's a suggestion;

-- creates a one time trigger

init --//
textread = 0
end -- init

main--//
if textread == 0 then
If GetPlayerDistance(e) < 78.3 then textread = 1 end
end

if textread == 1 then
Text(11,11,1,"Get your weapons!")
If GetPlayerDistance(e) > 78.3 then textread = 2 end
end

end -- main

Its actually easier just to attach the textinzone.lua to a triggerzone and put the text you want to see in the "Name" of the triggerzone. Works perfectly then.

The only person ever to get all his work done by "Friday" was Robinson Crusoe..
