The 'hint' command is what you are looking for..

I.e.;

Code: [Select]

hint "Wlellcomm too me misshion!!1"or:

Code: [Select]

hint format ["You are %1 meters from your leader", player distance leader group player
Check the command reference for more info.

Gee, how stupid of me not to get that from your thorough problem description ::)

Anyhoo, I dont think thats possible, not with dynamic text anyway.
But if you want to show something fairly static you could use an image with an RscTitles class.
