A first working version has been committed as revision 8846. Shows how to show messages via any trigger you like, as well as enabling/disabling them again. Things todo: * the actual entity activated by the trigger can't call showMessage() (or run any script on itself) on itself (or at least I don't know how to make that work). So currently it targets an extra atdm:gui_message entity, which represents the actual message. They are gonna be merged into one entity, but it needs code on the C++ side, which I am gonna write later. * the gui guis/tdm_message.gui has a problem when fading the message out. * it cannot yet load data from XD files - need first to find out how to do that |

One entity removed from the equation and it didn't even need C++ code, using a spawnclass and a scriptobject at the same time is possible. After adding the entity dynamically as its own target, we can call showMessage() on it. Now only needs to support XData and the GUI fade out is still not happening. |

The GUI fade out is implemented now. The text can be set via spawnarg, hence from within DarkRadiant, that is even easier than XData. Fidcal also made a "centered, transparent" GUI, and we hammered out a view bugs when using it, so this feature is not complete and the issue can be closed. |
