i'm a little confused about all of the arrays,and what not. but what i really need to know is how to make a text box run only once per a map load,

here is my system.vc..

void Text(string text1, string text2 string text3)
{
int y;



// loop until B1 is pressed
while (!b1)
{
//draw el mapo
Render();
// draw the text box
SetLucent(0);
Rect(0,(ScreenY/2+58),ScreenX-1,ScreenY-1,53);
Rect(1,(ScreenY/2+58)+1,ScreenX-2,ScreenY-2,45);
RectFill(2,(ScreenY/2+58)+2,ScreenX-3,ScreenY-3,24);
SetLucent(0);
// draw the text
y=ScreenY-(ScreenY/4); // position font output at the upper-left of the textbox
GotoXY(0, y); PrintString(0, text1); y+=FontHeight(0);
GotoXY(0, y); PrintString(0, text2); y+=FontHeight(0);
GotoXY(0, y); PrintString(0, text3);
// update video memory
ShowPage();

UpdateControls();
}
UnPress(1);
}


------------------------------------------------------

can anyone out there have the heart to tweak with this so that there is a way to make the text run only once??

PS. make sure it works please,
