[REL]Info Pickups

[Axel]

I'v noticed that there is no ressource that brings info in-game except the one on the F1 so i decided to make a infopickups ressource. The code is very simple thought i added some help for new scripters.

What it does?

Well it's easy: When u hit a pickup you get a message. The pickup respawns after 1 minute.

As u might see it also clears the chat for other messages.

What if you make a script for pickups that display a 3D Text?

That would be very nice ^^

Incoming script with that and more.

Remade the ressource. Now you can easilly create pickups, put them in different interiors/dimensions, change the message color. And soon with some 3dText.
