Usage

This function will display text on-screen to mimick speech. It requires a speaker and speech with optional colour and how long it remains on screen. Colour schemes are listed above as hex codes.

If this is called via an ACE action then use the first example. If it's called from a trigger globally use the second example.

Example 1:

["John James", "I hate all of you.", "#FFFFFF", 3] call TAC_Mission_fnc_dialogue;

Example 2:

["John James", "I hate all of you.", "#FFFFFF", 3] call TAC_Mission_fnc_dialogueLocal;
