# How to add new tutorial message

Files & folders needed:

> assets/gameplay/help\_tips.json
>
> assets/ui/
>
> assets/scripts/p\_game.gd
>
> assets/texts/lang\_\*.json

Structure of the tutorial message:

{% code title="help\_tips.json" %}

```json
{
    "id": "radiation_tip",
    "topic_img": "rad_icn.png",
    "topic_img_size": 64,
    "text": "rad.tip.text"
}
```

{% endcode %}

{% code title="Properties description" %}

```ini
id = unique ID for calling with scripts
topic_img = texture name relative to assets/ui/ folder
topic_img_size = size of the topic image texture
text = can be string or language key
```

{% endcode %}

Create a duplacate at the end of the file:

```json
{
    "id": "my_mod_tutorial",
    "topic_img": "items/ecolog_outfit.png",
    "topic_img_size": 64,
    "text": "my.mod.tutorial.message.text"
}
```

Go to <mark style="color:orange;">assets/texts/lang\_en.json</mark> and add new language text key to the file.

{% code title="lang\_en.json" %}

```json
"my.mod.tutorial.message.text": "Hello world! Tutorial message!\nIt can be [color=red]colored[/color]!\nOr even [center]centered[/center].\nAlso [b]BOLD[/b].\nAnd font size [font_size=48]like this[/font_size]\nOr it can be [right]right side[/right]"
```

{% endcode %}

Go to <mark style="color:orange;">assets/scripts/p\_game.gd</mark> and change new game tutorial id to yours at intro level changed function.

<pre class="language-gdscript" data-title="p_game.gd"><code class="lang-gdscript">"intro":
    # wait 2 seconds before tutorial message will appear
<strong>    await get_tree().create_timer(2).timeout
</strong>    game_process._show_tutorial("my_mod_tutorial")
</code></pre>

Don't forget to check <mark style="color:orange;">assets/scripts/p\_app.gd</mark> script and check this line:

{% code title="p\_app.gd" %}

```gdscript
GameManager.GameProcess.show_tutorial = true
```

{% endcode %}

It must be <mark style="color:blue;">true</mark> for showing any tutorial messages in the game.

Run the new game. After 2 seconds you will see popup message.
