LAWS: Message on Game Load
By: TheLawG14 [aka. TheScripter]

Introduction

This is a pretty simple script, it was just based off a request I did for gRaViJa and I decided to release it to those that want it as well. What it does is show a message after loading a game file (for example: "Welcome Back!") and you can customize how long this message is shown and what is shown.

Features

• Shows a message after loading a file
• Can customize how long the message is shown and what the message says
• Can exit out message more quickly with action button

Screenshots






Demo


None, it's a pretty simple script
