[LE] Display on screen message using large font - like quest start/level gained etc.

[davethepak]

Hello there.

 

I am working on a mod where i want to display a message on the center of the screen, similar to the "level up" and "quest start" messages.

 

What I don't want;

* I know how to do the typical debug notification in the upper left in a small font.

* I know how to do a message in a box in the center of the screen.

 

 

What I do want;

* Display a large message similar to the one used for location discovery

* the message similar to when you raise a skill or charcter level

* the message similar to when you start a quest.

 

I can't seem to find that message type anywhere in the game files or scripts.

 

 

Any help would be appreciated, thank you for your time.

I'm pretty sure it's exclusive to Quests.

I suggest you just make a dummy quest that is flagged as a startup quest and do the following:

Make a script that runs by your own conditions (when you want something to happen), then do the following:

 

 

dummyQuest.SetName('whatever_you_want')

dummyQuest.CompleteQuest()

dummyQuest.stop()

dummyQuest.start()

Do mind that it will display "Quest Completed: 'whatever_you_want' ".

I'm not sure how you can make it otherwise.

I do suggest you look at the files in this mod to get some info though: Achieve That.

Dman -

 

Hmmmm..... This does help!

 

Not exactly what I was looking for, but it is a good start - I had thought of something like this, but then thought I would have to do like a ton of different quests etc.

This is a better way.

 

Of course, I would still like to figure out how to access the raising skill level or character level - as that is what my mod is doing (I have a new skill, and want to give announcements when it levels, and of course, when it causes the character to level, I want that to be announced as well).

 

this is a good starting point however, for me to learn more.

 

your help is sincerely appreciated.

Anyone else have any suggestions on how to display the level up notice? Complete with the progress bar?
