Function: DisplayText(player, type, text)

Description: Displays Channel Text on the Player's screen (without a Spawn attributed with a name, just a plain message). The type are based on channel types in https://github.com/emagi/eq2emu/blob/main/docs/data_types/channel_types.md and support will vary on client version.

Parameters:

player (Spawn) - Spawn object representing player.
type (uint8) - Integer value type.
text (string) - String text.

Returns: None.

Checked example

Active call in a local runtime Lua script. Argument count matches current fixed C++ readers. This is a contextual call pattern, not a tested standalone script.

DisplayText(Player, 12, "This box is empty.")
