Map Prompts - Map-based text prompts system

Description
Think MW2019 Multiplayer intro, or MW2 Singleplayer intro

Rather than bore you with the prospect of console commands, lets just jump straight into the addon.

What does it do?

Map Prompts adds in a system that can utilize the XYZ coordinates on a map, and then create unique text prompts based on those locations. To put it simply:

When the player spawns in (or reaches a unique location, as marked by the coordinates system), a small text prompt will appear on the screen.

This prompt contains:

-A fancy name (Supported maps have unique names, unsupported maps have "Operation: X" instead)

-A map location (Unsupported maps use the map name, supported maps have unique location names)

-The players name (Username, or a custom one using the text prompt)

-A clock, with THREE variations (Default will use your PC's local time, the 2nd option uses a 'Fake Clock', read below, and the third option will synchronize with StormFox 2's dynamic time system)

Map Support

The system is always active, regardless of the map being played. If the map is not supported, functionality will be limited to spawning/respawning. But with map support, the system can:

-Create prompts at specified locations
-Use custom locations and titles
-Set the 'Fake Clock' to start at a specific time upon loading the map

This addon adds in full support for these features on Construct and Flatgrass.

This collection contains all the maps/campaigns that are fully supported.

Settings Menu

Within the settings menu, you can edit a vast majority of the addons functionality, including but not limited to:

-Text position
-Text fade in/out speed
-Text alignment
-Text Color
-Text size
-Use an alternative "Scrolling Text" effect
-Custom font
-Which parts of the prompt to show
-Switch between 24h and 12h clocks
-Use chapter titles instead of custom titles (Campaign maps)
-Change the title, map and player name

Closing Notes

Although the mods custom support is limited at the moment, those that are willing to take their time can also create unique packs to support other maps.

See discussion below for more details.

About 'Fake Clock':

Fake Clock is an extremely simplistic time system, intended to replicate a clock that is not restricted to system time or third party addons. It is by no means perfect, it is as simplistic as it gets.

It should work in multiplayer by default.

How do we access the settings menu?

Can you perhaps add an option to resize the text? It's way too big in my resolution. I appreciate either way, amazing mod! :]

Alright, thanks.

All console commands are prefixed by MapPrompts. However you're better off just using the settings menu, as there are 30 console commands within the addon.

What are the commands?
