I don't believe we need that, and it's a comment, anyways.

It is actually possible to create a sort of doppelganger of this function and its sibling, ClearMessage, by running this code:
<pre>
local message = false
function _G.SetMessage( msg )
  if not msg then return ( error( "String expected", 1 ) ) end
  if type( msg ) ~= "string" then return ( error( "String expected", 1 ) ) end
  if message then
      game:ClearMessage()
  end
  local p = game.Players:GetPlayers()
  if not p then return end
  for i = 1, #p do
      if p[i]:FindFirstChild( "PlayerGui" ) then
        local s = Instance.new( "ScreenGui", p[i].PlayerGui )
        local t = Instance.new( "TextLabel", s )
        t.Position = UDim2.new( 0.2, 0, 0.354, 0 )
        t.BorderColor3 = Color3.new( 192/255, 192/255, 192/255 )
        t.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new( 163/255, 162/255, 165/255 )
        t.Size = UDim2.new( 0.6, 0, 0.29, 0 )
        t.FontSize = Enum.FontSize.Size24
        t.Text = ( tostring( msg ) )
        t.TextColor3 = Color3.new( 1, 1, 1 )
        t.BackgroundTransparency = 0.4
        s.Name = "gameMessage"
      end
  end
  message = true
end
function _G.ClearMessage()
  if not message then return end
  local p = game.Players:GetPlayers()
  if not p then return end
  for i = 1, #p do
      if p[i]:FindFirstChild( "PlayerGui" ) then
        local g = p[i].PlayerGui:GetChildren()
        for x = 1, #g do
            if g[x].Name == "gameMessage" then
              g[x]:remove()
            end
        end
      end
  end
  message = false
end
</pre>
The ''doppelgangers'' are called using _G.SetMessage( msg ) and _G.ClearMessage().
