== Introduction ==
This article will explain different ways of adding [[GBX.lua.Message (Object)|messages]] and [[GBX.lua.Hint (Object)|hints]] to your place.
== How to Insert a Message ==
While in [[GoodBlox Studio]],
:1. In the [[Explorer]] panel, select [[GBX.lua.Workspace (Service)|Workspace]]
:2. Go to '''Insert''', then '''Object...'''
::{{Studio|Menu$Insert}}
::{{Studio|Menu$Insert$Object}}
:3. In the window that pops up, find '''Message''', and click '''OK'''
:4. In the Explorer panel, select the message you inserted
:5. In the [[Properties]] panel, find [[Text (Property)|Text]]
:6. Type the text you want the message to say, and press enter
Your message should appear on the screen.
== How to Insert a Hint ==
While in GoodBlox Studio,
#In the Explorer panel, select Workspace
#Go to Insert, then Object...
#In the window that pops up, find '''Hint''', and click OK
#In the Explorer panel, select the hint you inserted
#In the Properties panel, find Text
#Type the text you want the hint to say, and press enter.
Your message should appear at the bottom of the screen.
== Scripting and Messages ==
You can use [[scripting|Scripting]] to have more control over your messages.
While in GoodBlox Studio,
#In the Explorer panel, select Workspace
#Go to Insert, then Object...
#In the window that pops up, find '''Script''', and click OK
#Find the script in the Explorer panel, and double-click it to open the script editor.
#Copy the following and paste it into the script:
<pre>
local m = Instance.new("Message") -- inserts a new message
m.Parent = game.Workspace -- put the message in the workspace
m.Text = "Hello World!" -- change "Hello World!" to whatever you like
wait(10) -- waits 10 seconds
m:Remove() -- removes the message
</pre>
Once you have done that, click the '''Close Tab''' [[Image:P01F15.png]] button to exit the script editor.
To run the script, press the '''Play''' {{Studio|Test$Run}} button. '''Be sure to save your place first!'''
=== Hints ===
Here is the same script as above, but for hints:
<pre>
local h = Instance.new("Hint")
h.Parent = game.Workspace
h.Text = "Hello World!"
wait(10)
h:Remove()
</pre>
