you tryed (actions) game -display message already? or isnt that the thing u want?

u could also blackmask the field u are watching and then put a floating text in it, i just checked if it worked and it worked.

// actions ((visibility) create an initially disabled visibility modifier that is emitting black mask accross XXX )
//

edit: it doesnt screw up with me, you checked if the floating text is displayed at the correct spot?
