Point worldtext

point_worldtext is a point entity available in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

Example text generated by two point_worldtext entities

An entity that displays a text message oriented in the world, at its origin.

Usage

point_worldtext displays a specified text message in a set position in the world. It can be of any size and color, but the text outline cannot be changed. You can change the text message in-game by firing AddOutput with the parameter "message" and then the message you want to display. One downside of this text type is that it's stationary in the world and it is not part of the HUD, so you can't ensure that all players see it at all times. If you want to display important information that the player(s) must be constantly aware of, then it is better to use a game_text.

Note: Text, size and color can be edited real time via AddOutput, making this entity very flexible and useful.
