    Narration text doesn't have an owner.... But because these texts are the only one which doesn't have an owner you could check it:

    This is the base script for killing several background texts from th wiki / AFRLme :

-- * tables * --
txt = {} -- create table
txt["_temporary_"] = "" -- set table as temporary
 
-- * function which kills active background text (1 = all, 2 = all characters, 3 = current character) * --
function killText(val)
 for i = table.maxn(txt), 1, -1 do 
  if val == 1 and txt[i]:getBool(VTextActive) then txt[i]:setValue(VTextActive, false) -- all background text
  elseif val == 2 and txt[i]:getBool(VTextActive) and txt[i]:getLink(VTextOwner):getId().tableId == eCharacters then txt[i]:setValue(VTextActive, false) -- all character background text
  elseif val == 3 and txt[i]:getBool(VTextActive) and txt[i]:getLink(VTextOwner):getName() == game:getLink(VGameCurrentCharacter):getName() then txt[i]:setValue(VTextActive, false); break -- current character background text
  end
 end
end
 
-- * on text display function * --
function hText(text)
 if text:getBool(VTextBackground) then table.insert(txt, text) end
 -- * --
 return false -- prevent text from being repositioned
end
 
-- * function for text finished * --
function eText(text)
 for i = table.maxn(txt), 1, -1 do if not txt[i]:getBool(VTextActive) then table.remove(txt, i) end end -- if text is inactive, remove from txt table
end
 
-- * event handlers * --
registerHookFunction("setTextPosition", "hText") -- event handler for displayed text
registerEventHandler("textStopped", "eText") -- event handler for finished text

    you could then add an elseif val == 4 which checks if there is no owner of a current active text:

    elseif val == 4 and txt[i]:getBool(VTextActive)  and txt[i]:getLink(VTextOwner) == nil then txt[i]:setValue(VTextActive, false) -- kill texts with no owner/narration


    its untested and out of my head^^

    Um... you have to store texts in a table. killText(1) will remove/kill all texts currently displayed that have background option enabled. They will also be removed from the table automatically too when a text is killed / ends normally as it checks the table & removes them if they are no longer active.

    I think that script could actually do with updating a little bit. The hook function for adjusting text position works like a loop, so it's actually adding the text into a table multiple times which isn't all that great. Not sure why I used that to be honest.

    Anyway, here's an updated script. Now includes kill narration text only option & rewritten with Lua shorthand.

    whenever you want to kill narration text you need to execute a script with "killText(4)" in it. So when it should do this with left click add it also to your left click function smile

    haha, yeah... I should have probably mentioned that it's not automatic. Any definition scripts that contain functions usually require you to the execute a function from another script or from an execute a script action part, so in the case of this script...

    kill all background texts
    killText(1)

    kill all background texts that belong to characters
    killText(2)

    kill all background texts that belong to the current character
    killText(3)

    kill all background texts that are narration texts
    killText(4)
