Show text by script (without message box)

[remainderstudios]

how to display text on screen without using message box? but anywhere on the screen.

The problem with message boxes is that it only limits you to showing text above, in the middle and below the screen and you must press Enter to continue the event process.

Is there a way to display a text anywhere on the screen?

Thank you

MOG - Event Text
Efeberk - Show textbox
Meowface - Display quick text
Nelderson - Text over event

From your request I would guess that efeberk's show text box would fit best with a modification to it for displaying at specific location.
The others use events to locate the text or a specific location

*update, I tested the script it does input not text.
I may be able to change it to show text. I'll work on it later.

Does this fit your needs?

Spoiler: Messagebox

# Show text box with a message
#
# Script call:
# show_textbox(x, y, width, height, variable, title = nil, txt = "Hello!")
#
# x : X position for the window
# y : y position for the window
# height : message window height
# width : message window width
# variable : which variable will be used to display text, 0 = not used
# title : optional
# txt : text to display if variable is not used.
#
# Sample : show_textbox(120, 50, 270, 48, 0, "PIN Code", "Looks like it says 25871")
# Sample : show_textbox(120, 50, 270, 48, 10, "PIN Code", "")
# Variable 10 = "Looks like it says 25871"
