Display custom info on the screen

[Frag]

Hi guys,

 

I wonder ... is there a way with mist, moose or other to display a simple number on the screen without using the scrolling "Message to .." scrolling window.

 

Example: Displaying your current altitude in the top left corner, which I could update every few seconds thru a loop.

 

Briefly I am looking for API that would let you add information on the screen, without using the standard message rolling window.

Message to ... displayed on the top right corner has a parameter which if sets to true will over write the previous one so it will not scroll all messages:

function trigger.action.outText(string text, number displayTime , boolean clearview)

Thus, you can set clearview to true and you will always have one message no matter how many time you call the outText.
