Please search the board for your answers before posting questions.

A simple search for "text" or "hud" would suffice in this instance.

You are showing the hud and then fading it out immediately.

Change the last two lines of code to read:

:state=1,plrwithinzone=1:hudshow=keyprompt,state=2
:state=2,plrwithinzone=0:hudfadeout=keyprompt

As soon as you enter the zone your hud will display.
When you leave the zone, it will fade out.

If you want the hud to only display once, change the final line to read:

:state=2,plrwithinzone=0:hudfadeout=keyprompt,destroy

Put the tga file into Files\languagebank\english\gamecore\text

Change the hudimage=story.tga to read
hudimage=gamecore\text\story.tga

Quote: "hudname=story1"


THis gives your HUD a VERY SPECIFIC name, which you must then use in ANY "hudshow" or "hudefadeout" commands.

Notice that you did NOT use that name:

Quote: "hudshow=keyprompt"



Change it to use the HUD's proper name and I bet it'll work.
