It would be interesting to have an on-screen text box that updates its text on-the-fly based on the value of a node and upstream data being fed into the node, such as live translations of text, or alert overlays of some kind.

Customization Options:

  • Change Size of Text
  • Change Text Font / Typeface
  • Change Color of Text
  • Change Background Color of Text

The node will be connected to an agent as a "Agent Role: Textbox Overlay" that tells the connected agent to display the on-screen textbox. The location of the box will be controlled with an X/Y coordinate system similar to the screenshot node, but dimensions will be based on the size of text and value of text being fed from the node.

The role node itself will behave like a generic data node, either manually assigning a value or having an upstream node dynamically change the value on-the-fly, which then reflects immediately on the on-screen overlay where the agent is running.
