FIELD_MESSAGE_pasrelout
 
Prints a defined quote to the screen.
 
<tilenum> is the first tile of a sequence of characters.  See tile 2822 for an example. 
 
<x> and <y> are on-screen coordinates.
 
<quote> is the quote to print, as defined by [[definequote]].
 
<shade> and <pal> are obviously shade and palette. 
 
<[[orientation]]> controls the way the sprite is drawn (see entry). Note: it's recommended to you always set the bit 16 in order to the letters be placed correctly.
 
<x1>, <y1>, <x2> and <y2> are boundaries on the screen that define where the text may be drawn.
 
Example code:
 
<pre>
setvar x 320                                // "x=320" makes text be centered
setvar y 100
setvar shade 0
setvar pal 0
setvar tilenum STARTALPHANUM
setvar orientation 26
setvar TEMP 100
redefinequote TEMP This is ^10red          // makes the "red" word be tinted, 10 is red.
 
gametext tilenum x y TEMP shade pal orientation ZERO ZERO xdim ydim
</pre>
 
Please note that as with [[digitalnumber]], [[digitalnumberz]], [[gametextz]], [[minitext]] and friends, gametext only works during [[events]].
