How do I make a player event log?

So what's the best practice for making a readout log of game events that would be shown to the player in a few lines at the bottom of the screen? Its in tons of RPG games Seen lots of links to tutorials but they are old and broken.

Example:

spider bites player (8)

player is poisoned

player strikes spider (2)

player takes poison damage (2)

spider bites player (10)

player dies

You could have a text object where you append with newline for each action

Yes thanks! Just discovered:

&newline

I recommend storing the text somewhere, like an array, so you can use the other fields to write like, the type of text (combat, speech, skillcheck) and then build the text from the data with the option to omit certain text.

You can open the realtime multiplayer example for an example on how to do this, new dialogue gets added to an array and when the array becomes too big, older data is discarded, and text is filled in a text object using array data.
