DisplayText while dead/dying? #545685 19/08/14 12:53 PM

OP Daphreak stranger D Joined: Aug 2014	Ello there, just a quick question. I'm trying to get a character to simply display text when he dies, but it doesn't seem to be working. All of my other CharacterDisplayText() calls that don't require a dead character work fine. This is what I've tried: Code IF CharacterDied(CHARACTER_prisoncaptain) THEN CharacterDisplayText(CHARACTER_prisoncaptain,"prison_captain_dead"); as well as: Code IF CharacterDying(CHARACTER_prisoncaptain) THEN CharacterDisplayText(CHARACTER_prisoncaptain,"prison_captain_dead"); just to see if it made a difference (it didn't). So I'm assuming characters can't display text while dead/dying, but does anyone know a workaround for this or can show me if I did something wrong?
