Ready screen in game

Billyd1

What I want to do is, in the game scene just before the game starts put a ''ready Go!'' text. I want it to be in the scene with the game scene in the background and once it has said ''ready Go!'' to disappear.

For example street fighter has it just before they fight. Saying ''ready fight!''

Any way on how to do this?

Thanks

I have a "get ready" actor in my avoid-em-up game.
This is how I did it :

Stick an actor in the scene where you want it (set it's alpha to 0)

Then in a rule say something like

For 2 seconds display text "Ready......GO!"
after 2 seconds destroy

or something similar
That will just make the text appear onscreen wherever you have that actor for 2 seconds from the start of the scene.

That's the most simple way of doing it. But it will look fairly simple too.

I'd say have an actor that you skin with a nice "Get ready" image/logo, and use some cool way of displaying it in the scene. (a fade, or a move to command maybe)
