game_text

Can someone explain how to use a game_text to display text during game play? I put one in and had a trigger_once tell it "display." Is there something else I need?

1. Why don't you try whether it works?
2. Why don't you look here: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Game_text

Copy and paste Valve's game_text so you know the right values are selected so it can appear properly. I remember in hl2 I has masses amounts of problems because the text only showed up for .1 of a second.

Another thing to note is that the position values can be buggy in my experience. Just leave them at the default values to start with, I know ive been unable to make anything appear with values too far from the default ones.

I think in terms of boolean variables. Generally, it makes things easier.
