Message
Revision as of 14:43, 12 August 2006 by imported>DragoonWraith (→Examples: I think it makes more sense to have the code in codeboxes and the message in plaintext (care was taken to preserve spaces in the plaintext, though they are somewhat difficult to see))
Description
Syntax:

Example:
Message "This is a Message" Message "You have %.0f hours to complete your task.", GameHour, 10
