Maximum size (added with parameters) for the headline is 2 if you want another, size 1 text under it. Size 2.5 to 3 seems to be the max size for the headline if you don't want it to disappear.

Rolling text size has to be 1 or else it disappears entirely. Time in the bottom right is ingame time (see setDate). Do note that this function cannot center on an object, and additional camera work is required to achieve such effects. It merely adds an overlay to the screen, and the player retains control even with the overlay active.

To remove the overlay you must close the display from the BIS_AAN UI Namespace variable. i.e.

(uiNamespace getVariable "BIS_AAN") closeDisplay 1;
