In Arma 3 "PLAIN" param will display your text where the crosshair is, "PLAIN DOWN" will push the text further down, closer to the bottom of the screen.

The value for speed has to be greater 0. If 0 is used as speed the default value (1) will be used.
If you want to create an "instant" effect you can use a really small value (e.g. 0.001)
