add ability to supress popup text message in trigger.action.textToAll()

[uri_ba]

trigger.action.textToAll() will currently add the text to a pop-up message.

please add a way to control the number of seconds the message will appear (with 0 being do not show)

or just allow to turn it off with bool.

 

Thanks for the new additions!

Hi, you can use outText function https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_func_outText

"Displays the passed string of text for the specified time to all players" 

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

Could this be added to missions to eliminate Supercarrier LSO grading messages?

I don't have Supercarrier module, so i can't help you with that, sorry.

 I know how outText work.
I'm talking about trigger.action.textToAll() a whole different function that does something else completely.

except that it seems to trigger trigger.action.outText() as well. which in my case, is an unwanted feature.

Reported. 

Worth noting that setMarkupText seems to not display a message when updating the markup shape. Not the best workaround, but it exists.
