Usage

This function will display text on-screen to mimick speech. It requires a speaker and speech with optional colour and how long it remains on screen. Colour schemes are listed above as hex codes.

If this is designed to be global it needs to be called only on 1 machine, I.e; ACE Action or Server only check.

If it's designed to only show for certain people, use the second example. I.e; Within a trigger.

Example 1:

["John James", "I hate all of you."] call TAC_Mission_fnc_dialogue;

Example 2:

["John James", "I hate all of you."] call TAC_Mission_fnc_dialogueLocal;
