Server functions 20

textCreateDisplayCreates a text display: a set of texts drawn on the screens of chosen players, controlled entirely from the server (no client script). You add texts to it (textDisplayAddText) and observers - the players who see it (textDisplayAddObserver). Useful for simple messages, timers and scores.
textCreateTextItemCreates a text for a text display. The position is relative to the screen: 0 = left/top edge, 1 = right/bottom, so the text looks the same at any resolution. The text appears only after being added to a display.
textDestroyDisplayRemoves a text display; it disappears from all observers' screens.
textDestroyTextItemRemoves a text item (from all displays as well).
textDisplayAddObserverShows a display to a player (adds them to the observers).
textDisplayAddTextAdds a text item to a display; all the display's observers will see it.
textDisplayGetObserversReturns the players who see a display.
textDisplayIsObserverChecks whether a player sees a display.
textDisplayRemoveObserverHides a display from a player.
textDisplayRemoveTextRemoves a text item from a display (the item still exists and can be added again).
