-Displayed text is the text spoken by a character or narration text which is not spoken by a character & can be positioned wherever you like on the screen.
+Displayed text is the text spoken by a character or narration text which is not spoken by a character & can be positioned wherever you like on the screen. Object text, is text which can be linked to a scene object & displayed indefinitely until you remove it via the remove object text action part - object text is only (currently) valid for non-menu scenes.
-Let's have a look at the '''Display text''' action part first which is found inside of the '''Character''' action part area. By default character spoken text appears above the text owner (character who the displayed text is linked to) & is aligned via the '''text alignment''' drop down menu found inside of the '''game''' properties tab. Having said that we can in fact set a custom position (absolute) via Lua Script with the '''VTextPosition''' data structure command & the registerHookFunction; see further down the page for an example.

 The '''Display narration text''' action part however is more geared towards narration & can be positioned on the screen wherever you like.
