+Rep for one who solve..
How to make text comes up in down left corridor?
That's all

You mean debug messages?

AddDebugMessage("Test", false);


You have to enable them by enabling ScriptDebug.
You can check out this guide.
https://wiki.frictionalgames.com/doku.ph...evenvguide

When you have enabled that, you can press F1 ingame and check "Show Debug Messages". Then the text will appear.

Say whattt ????
No i need just basic text like in original amnesia when it hits you white flashback then you walk slowly and text appears down in LEFT corridor with voices...

So hard theory...like math

Voice= The langfile name Catagory;
Example:

Quote:<CATEGORY Name="Voice">
<Entry Name="00_Gameissaved">"Game saved"</Entry>
</CATEGORY>

The 00_Gameissaved is the text what will show up in the left corner.
For this above shows : "Game saved" in the left corner.

Hope it helps you.

This is a callback used for dialogues.
AddEffectVoice(string& asVoiceFile, string& asEffectFile, string& asTextCat, string& asTextEntry,
bool abUsePosition, string& asPosEntity, float afMinDistance, float afMaxDistance);

Unless you use a voice file in there, the text isn't going to appear. You can always make a blank voice file, but I'd suggest using
SetMessage(string& asTextCategory, string& asTextEntry, float afTime);

It's much more handy, but it will display the message in the centre, as I recall.

Okay or i am crazy or what ?
I asked like for a little text like...normal SetMessage
Just to be down not in middle screen wtf ? i don't need any voices it was example
See that video in spoiler and you see in video says:
"Daniel! Turn around this instant. You are carrying the Shadow with you!"
and it is not in middle screen text
That's what i need xD

IS WAY cheaper and looks unprofeccional for voiceacting!

Calm down man!
AddEffectVoice("Hereisthesoundfile.ogg", "", "Voice", "00_Gameissaved", false, "", 0, 0 );
WHat i subscribed above should work!
Don't worry about the function name it should work.

Look i DON'T have sound file...i just need simple text to be down... and nothing else.
SO if i wanna that i MUST have sound file ?

The text in the corner is supposed to be subtitles for the voice acting.
That's why we're talking about voices.

I think you need a voice file, but you can just make a silent one if you don't want a voice.


Sorry I misunderstood you in the beginning. There are more than 1 type of text in the left corner.

Yep, you NEED a soundfile.
Just make an empty one.
For example if you read this tekst here:
Hello Daniel, i am not sure how i have to make a tekst appear below the screen.
If you read this is should take me : 5 seconds.
Make an empty sound file for 5 seconds that''s it
