Anyone know the old announcement thing?

I’m wondering if there was a preset of that one announcement thing? It was like a .5 transparent white background white white text and black outline.


like this.

Am I still able to do this, or do I have to recreate it. Not saying it’s not hard to recreate, but I’d rather have the original

What is taht one announcement thing? Sorry I’m new to Roblox and if you are talking about something old I don’t know it

Do you mean a Message?

Instance.new("Message", workspace).Text = "Text here plz"

The black bar thing is called a Hint and it’s linked in this create.roblox.com page as well

Yesss bro thank you I need that, also do you know how to do the one where there is a black bar on top, and it has text there?

oh i didnt see what you said on the bottom mb

Same thing as Message.

local Hint = Instance.new("Hint", workspace)
Hint.Text = "Hi"

Just to remind you, Both Message and Hint have the same name when created

Refrain from using deprecated objects. Although they are easier to use, they can break at any time.

As SubtotalAnt8158 has said, you should refrain from using deprecated objects such as Message or Hint.

For an exact replica of the effect, you can use the following:
