How do I manipulate position of displayed game text message?

Like if I want it to be little lower or higher or in the middle, left, right etc...

Use JASS or custom script:

native DisplayTextToPlayer takes player toPlayer, real x, real y, string message returns nothing

I'm not fond of JASS, so could you do me an example?
Display random text at bottom left, right above the Unit's portrait.

Thanks )

Idk values. Make tests for different x and y values.

maan, I suck desperately haha....
Can you tell me how do I successfully implement that custom script into this trigger and display the message anywhere (I'll figure out the x and y values by myself)?
I just need help setting it up

Okay.

Set Player = Player(1) Custom script: call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(udg_Player, 0, 0, 5, "Hello")

Normals prints "Hello" for 5 seconds for "Player".

Hope you got it.
