HudMessage Error

[Zulk RS]

I was trying to use this HudMessage function in ACS but I keep getting a "Invalid statement error.

script 2(void)
{
void HudMessage(s:"Don't jump off moving vehecles kids. \n This PSA is brought to you by ZULK RS."; HUDMSG_PLAIN, 0, CR_GOLD, 0.5, 0.5, 5);
}

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Can someone please help?

void HudMessage

Change this to just:

HudMessage

I did that and now it works but it stays on the screen indefinitely.

Try HoldTime 5.0 instead of 5. Also make sure the script isn't getting executed repeatedly.

That worked. HudMessage functions confuse me...

Thanks for your help again.

Umm... I ran into a different problem this time.
I used this code:

script 4 (void)
{
	HudMessage(s:"You didn't need to come here, you know.\n But, since you're here, congratulations on finding the first text slate!"; HUDMSG_PLAIN, 0, CR_PURPLE, 0.5, 0.5, 6.0);
	Delay (35.0);
	HudMessage(s:"Just so you know, the exit switch is the computer panel in the small cart with the imp in it.\n The one near the spot where you teleported in."; HUDMSG_PLAIN, 0, CR_PURPLE, 0.5, 0.5, 7.0);
	Delay (35.0);
	HudMessage(s:"Good luck!"; HUDMSG_PLAIN, 0, CR_PURPLE, 0.5, 0.5, 1.0);
}

Instead of waiting 1 sec after each message has stopped showing before showing the next one, it just doesn't show anything at all.

Don't write numbers with a decimal point into Delay, unless you want it to wait 35*65536 tics.

Thanks again! Everything's working the way it should now.
