A little hack of the tutorial system to display nice (small) messages ingame :

This exemple hacks the TUTORIAL_TYPE_HUD_INFO_BOX tuto type, but you can also do the same with the dialog aswell. Just look the code!

-- Love Lilith!
local MYADDON_FAKE_TUTO_INDEX = 666
 
local original_GetTutorialInfo = GetTutorialInfo
GetTutorialInfo = function(tutorialIndex)
    if tutorialIndex == MYADDON_FAKE_TUTO_INDEX then
        -- My code, MUST return 2 strings & 1 integer : title and description, can contain colors, keycodes, and icons. last value is integer (priority of tutorial, 0 = high priority).
    end
    return original_GetTutorialInfo(tutorialIndex)
end
 
local original_GetTutorialType = GetTutorialType
GetTutorialType = function(tutorialIndex)
    if tutorialIndex == MYADDON_FAKE_TUTO_INDEX then
        return TUTORIAL_TYPE_HUD_INFO_BOX
    end
    return original_GetTutorialType(tutorialIndex)
end
 
 
 
 
 
local function aFunctinCalledWhenYouWantToDisplayAMessage()
 
    local title, desc = GetTutorialInfo(MYADDON_FAKE_TUTO_INDEX)
    if title ~= "" then
        -- Hack tutorial timer to adapt to short / small descriptions
        TUTORIAL_SYSTEM.tutorialHandlers[TUTORIAL_TYPE_HUD_INFO_BOX].currentlyDisplayedTutorialTimeLeft = math.floor(string.len(desc) / 20) * 1000 -- You can also change the duration.
        -- Display it
        TUTORIAL_SYSTEM:DisplayOrQueueTutorial(MYADDON_FAKE_TUTO_INDEX, 0)
    end
 
end
