C++ Question Display Static Text

[lethal_d0se]

Hello all, i've tried searching but to no avail.

How would one go about displaying static test on the screen, much like the key data in the bottom left of an EVA suit or instruction in UCGO. Just without requiring a string or operation.

The bottom left? You mean the black text with a white background?

That's a space you can print into by using sprintf(oapiDebugString(), "text"); - check the SDK documentation for information on the function.

This will display the variable "test" on the bottom left of the screen, with 2 decimals and the text "Hail Probe" before it.

[B]double[/B] test;
test = 2.350348634

sprintf(oapiDebugString(),"Hail Probe %.2f", test);

Thanks, I've managed to get the effect I've been looking for.

In most cases using secure version of sprintf (and other i/o functions) is recommended

 int test = 1;
 sprintf_s(oapiDebugString(), 255, "Comms check %d %d %d", test, test+1, test+2);

Yeah, Visual Studio keeps telling me that too, and I keep forgetting about it
