Text Boxes?

How does the text box system work? I can't find anything on it on the itch.io, and I know they exist in some compacity in the engine, but I have no clue how to use them, theres a chance this may be a full version thing sense I am on the lite version, but how does it work.  I also might be stupid...



edit: i did figure it out, but is there a way to delete the object after use through the script

end the script with

map return

or if you are using text boxes in the introduction script that is executed before the map, use 

map start


vn 1

text "this is a message"

map return

thank you for the help, very helpful

Developer

entity delete me

This will remove decoration that was used prior to script execution.

It would be wise to wait for a manual on scripting.

yea im kinda guessing that...  i just needed this real quick for my current project... nothing else i really needed, but thank you

I was able to do it pretty well
thank you for the help


the script

vn 1
text "You Smash The Glass With Your Elbow."
give weapon 2
entity delete me
map return

so far, the scripting seems pretty simplified...  you did a good job, this engine can be used with no code to make good games and when you do need code to do things.  the code is really easy and shouldnt really hinder the possibilities, i did look through some of the other posts to look at it


i did want the glass to hurt you, but i kinda thought it would be unfair to take damage for no reason so i took it out...  also, dont mind the glitched UI...  i need to adjust the resolution on the heart
