'''Sign Text'''
<br> The sign text is a text box that shows text on the sign. The text box doesn't have any limits, but only shows some parts of the text in the sign. You can have the maximum of 2 lines, and 44 characters per line.

'''Duration'''
<br> The duration can be switched between seconds and beats by clicking on the "Beats" text. The maximum duration for both Beats and Seconds can be 9999999 (7 digits).

=== Advanced ===

The sign text supports RD Code which can be used to tell BPM drifts using the {bpm} variable or it can be used to say the score of your RDCode level, for example in [[Beans Hopper]].

== Surgery ==

<code>{ "bar": X, "beat": X, "y": X, "type": "ShowStatusSign", "text": "", "duration": 4, "useBeats": true, "narrate": true }</code>

'''text''' (string)
<br> The text that the sign will show. Works the same as '''Sign Text'''

'''duration''' (float)
<br> How much time the sign will appear on the screen. Works the same as '''Duration'''.

'''useBeats''' (boolean)
<br> If true, uses beats in the duration instead of seconds.

'''narrate''' (boolean)
<br> Currently it doesn't do anything but it is most likely related to the upcoming narration feature.

== History ==

=== r19 ===
Show Status Sign has been added to the editor.

=== r20 ===
Duration supports and defaults to beats with a toggle to seconds by clicking on the beats / s text.

== Trivia ==

Some levels (most notably The Stupendium - And So We Fall) have used the Status Sign to show the lyrics of the song.
