Game text tf

Template:Wrongtitle  {{{1}}} is a point entity available in Team Fortress 2.

Entity description

An entity that displays text on players' screens. This text can be defined directly in the Hammer editor (unlike the similar env_message entity). This entity is suitable for stand alone bsp maps, if they are not to be localized.

Warning:Don't use quotation characters (") in the Text Message field (not even \" characters). It will cause fatal errors with opening and/or compiling your map and may need to be fixed by manually editing the VMF in a text editor. Instead, you use detailed quotes (i.e. “ and ”).

Note: This entity will not display when using the TF2 minimal HUD.

Keyvalues
