game_text_tf

 game_text_tf is a point entity available in Team Fortress 2.

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.
