Bridge.TextUI shows a small, persistent label near the top of the screen — the classic “press a key” hint. Unlike a notification, it stays up until you hide it, so it pairs naturally with proximity checks: show it when the player walks into range, hide it when they leave.

​
Availability

Client only. Two calls — Show and Hide. 
Bridge.TextUI.Show(text, opts?)
Bridge.TextUI.Hide()

​
Signature

​
Bridge.TextUI.Show

​
text
string
required
The label text, e.g. '[E] Open shop'.
​
opts.icon
string
An optional leading icon, tinted to the theme accent.

​
Bridge.TextUI.Hide

Takes no arguments. Hides the currently shown label. Safe to call when nothing is shown.
Text UI is a single, shared label — calling Show again replaces the current text rather than stacking. Always pair every Show with a Hide on the exit path.

​
Examples

Bridge.TextUI.Show('[E] Open shop')
-- …later
Bridge.TextUI.Hide()
For world-anchored prompts that follow a point in 3D and expand into an option list, use Interact instead — it manages proximity and focus for you. Text UI is best for simple, screen-fixed hints.
The icon honors the player’s theme accent. Set atlas:ui "ox" (or atlas:ui:textui "ox") to render the same calls through ox_lib’s textUI instead.
