Want to have text float from the bottom of the screen.

#1 Post by pyopyon »

It's a bit weird to ask, but is there a way to make text kind of... rise up from the bottom of the screen? I have a stat-raiser WIP and want to show that the player what stat they've risen by having the text float upward from the bottom of the screen.

Like the player clicks somewhere on a map and the words "+1 Honesty" float from the bottom of the screen, and dissolve somewhere around the middle of the screen.

The notify screen will probably be what you want. For the floating up part, you'll need to use some "on show" ATL
