Large text message

[ANdROnIQ]

Does anybody know how to make a text message appear full-size? I want to make the messages like "You're entering the city of etc." on my map appear fullscreen and centered, like in RPGs. Could use the Upkeep messages for that, but then the list of all locations on the map will be shown at the upkeep window tooltip, which I wanted to use as map version indicator. DisplayTextMessage and Floating text (TextTag) don't change font size.

umm. . . if you use floating text there is an area that is called "Font Size" and at defult is equal to 10, in maps where I need large fonts I use this function generally I use size 100.
Trigger
Event - Unit enters region (the city of asdf)
Action - create floating text at point event response on point of triggering unit font size 100.
- Wait 4 seconds
- Destroy last created floating text

using this trigger just create the region over the entire city and its done as simple as that

Thank you very much, I didn't notice that because the size (argument 'height' in SetTextTagText) is not set with a separate function (I searched for SetTextTagSize/Height). Sometimes it's useful to work in GUI ^^'. Now I should work on setting the text to appropriate position on the screen (my camera rotates with the Hero, so it will be another piece of work...). Can I create a floating text for a local player only, or will it cause desyncs, does anybody know?

instead of Floating Text, i would use a Splat trigger.

Then, you need to draw each of your messages as a texture, that takes a lot of space. But, the previous question is solved: I got out that I can set text tag visible to local player.
