Are you possibly looking for StringFormat()?

[BladeZ]

sorry no i dont think thats what im looking for. i have a game (diablo ii) and i need to print a bool status to the screen.

EDIT: What im looking for is something like ToolTip but without the backround color and able to change the texts size / color / font

Obviously, this isn't exactly what you're looking for, but I know you can do it this way if you want:

Since Diablo II is going to be your active window (or at least, it would be if I did it), you can always press enter, and type in ! and your text to get an overhead message. Example:

$YourText = "This is a message."

Send ("{ENTER}") ; open chat thingy...

Send ("!" & $YourText)

Send ("{ENTER}") ; close chat, sending text to overhead bubble

This would send "This is a message." to the overhead bubble in DII. Of course, you could simplify those statements into one, but I split it up to show the steps.

EDIT -->

Also, this is a standard Diablo II font/size/color, so that's not it. But it is something.

You could also use Splash Text if your Diablo II is in window mode. SplashTextOn ( "title", "text" [, w [, h [, x pos [, y pos [, opt [, "fontname" [, "fontsz" [, "fontwt"]]]]]]]] )

That allows you all sorts of options, but it's not inside Diablo II.

You need d2hackit. Let me see if I possibly have the files anymore...

Sorry it seems I have lost them. Try

Or search for D2Hackit. There is not much AutoIt can do for you in that respect. Unless you want to make a splash but that does not leak through a game window.

so theres no possible way to just put some text on the screen?

[greenmachine]

What's the purpose of this? You need text on screen that others shouldn't be able to see, but are other people going to be in the game? Or is this for a bot, where you should be the only one there?

its a program im planning on releasing called HealthHelper it checks your current health and mana and then if it sees there below 50% it drinks a pot

and i need to tell them that its running and print created by blablabla

This cannot be created in AUTOIT. It can however be created using d2hackit and Dlls. Try making a Dll with a call structure of D2WinWrite(Color, Text, Win) and have AutoIt call it using DllCall.
