ShowInfoText
A line in the game’s own info slot under the compass.
The toast the game uses for “You cannot do that now”: a line in the game’s typeface under the compass, for ms
milliseconds, optionally on a dark backing. Lines queue in the HUD; a higher priority goes before the ones waiting.
The server puts its own fight messages there (“You are fighting Hans”), so a mode’s lines share the slot with them.
