Displaying Text in Menu

I have a very simple problem, that drives me crazy for a while now, but I cannot figure it out.

I just want to display a text based on a variable that is visible as long as the menu is visible. In one scenario, I would like to change this text based on a button click.

My problem is, that all possibilities that I find, are time based - so they will hide after a certain time. I tried creating my own timers, that "redisplay" the text after it has been deleted automatically, and used some conditions to not display it in the next stage, but this did also not work reliably.

I'm sure, that I just oversee a simple functionality to display a text.

Thanks for your support!

Maybe you could use "display object text"? This is not time based.

you can use thr dieolay object text action part when opening the menu and bind it to a button/object.

When you do not set a pause tag into the text , it gets displayed as long as the object it is bound to is visible.
