Hmm, anyone know how these work? And how they appear in game?

message x y showmessage

This one is weird, it shows only for one frame, so if you want a continuous message, you must call it every frame. (i.e. don't put it in once-endonce)
x and y are in screen pixels from upper-left corner, special number is -1, which is the center of the screen

Source of information - mission 6 scripts, you get the message shown when you collect one of the amp gems.

Minimal viable script:
"Test" -1 -1 showmessage

Ha, that's my problem, I had "X Y Message" ... doh!

Thanks!

Note to self, only one message at a time :( sigh.
