Foundry Question

I've been playing some foundry missions, and I was wondering how someone goes about creating a Legacy floater message. I'd like to use a couple in the next mission I'm currently working on.

    I think he means the dialogue that pops up in the little windows with no buttons that go away after a few seconds. In the new UI, they're a lot bigger. Unfortunately we can't make them.

    Wish we could, especially cause I think those messages will not decloak the player, but we can't.

    That's not what I meant. In some foundry missions, similar to the announcement of someone getting a lockbox ship, there's messages that pop up in yellow text. I'm wondering how someone goes about inserting that into their mission.

    ooh that.

    What that is, is reach text. Put down a reach marker, attach it to a reach marker objective in the storyline. In that objective there is a field called "Reach Text" this is what you're looking for. I don't see a way to do it without an objective though.

    Maybe you can use location triggers? Reach markers don't need to be part of a quest objective.

    For the Reach Text, they do.

    As the reach text appears as a field in the objective box in the story tab but not on the actual waypoint itself on the map.

    I side note on this, in order for a reach marker to trigger, the player must be outside the reach marker and move into it. You can't have a reach marker appear on top of a player location just to trigger the fly-in text. I've tried and it won't trigger until the player moves out and back in.
