I would like to come up with a way to display text output on the screen near an avatar.

Preferable in a sort of scroll bar fashion in case there is a lot of text.

Is there a way to do a picture in picture to show maybe the command window and just show the text output from the window, or is there another way?

Thank you,
Jassel41

You mention command window, does that mean you want to show the standard output from the script on the screen?

Well that was just a possible solution. I mainly just want to be able to show text near an avatar head as if he/she were speaking or thinking.

I tried adding text and attaching it to an avatar but it is not quite what I was trying to accomplish.

The purpose is that we are creating a video game environment for students where they will go up to this avatar and ask for help and then the avatar will basically talk back to the user with the appropriate text.

Thank you,
