How can I make a small message window that doesn't interrupt the player?

Basically what I want is a little window that pops up in the corner of the field screen that will give you a status update, like "Player has found 100 Gold" or "Player has taken 10 damage" (in what I'm doing, you take damage just by touching stuff), but will not interrupt whatever the player is doing, and can be called through any event. How can I do this?

you are required to enter a string inside the command argument - that's what you didn't do, because a string is not a sentence like you wrote, but a specific form of coding...

Try

Code:
event_window_add_text("Scout has taken \\V[1] damage")
That is a string (placed inside ""), not what you wrote...

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
