TextCenterOnX(x,y,size,txt)
TextCenterOnXColor(x,y,size,txt,r,g,b)

With x,y = 50,50

e.g.:
TextCenterOnXColour( 50, 50, 5, "Some text", 255, 0, 0 )

THX This works great,

i have do this:

function textonscreen2_init(e)
end

function textonscreen2_main(e)
if g_Entity[e]['plrinzone']==1 then
TextCenterOnXColor(50,50,5,"Some text",0,0,255)
end
end


..The text apears on the middle on the screen and it works great
But is it possible to slowly fade in and Fade Out the text ?

Try starting with colour at 0 and increase it each frame till it reaches 255.

Flashing text;

if GetPlayerDistance(e) < 400 then
TextCenterOnXColor(50,50,3, "Warning!", math.random()*250, math.random()*250, math.random()*250)
local distcol = 600 - ( GetPlayerDistance(e) + 100 )
TextCenterOnXColor(50,55,3, "Getting too close!", distcol/2, distcol/4, distcol/2 )
TextCenterOnXColor(50.3,55.3,3, "Getting too close!", distcol/2, distcol/2, distcol/4 )
end

Warning! Any call for color over 255 or negative is a quick way to shut down GG.
Experiment on an empty map.

Yep, that's all I ask if you use any of my Lua efforts in your game, a simple credit.
