Ok so I want to make a movie, I got the order thing from Yoshi (thank you very much).
But I need help on this...So to make text I need a trigger, right? (I have that)
But I need the text so it comes in one at a time? So do I put wait?
Or something of that matter?
Help would be appretiated

If you want letters one at a time, you have to put a few enters...
Example Actions
Display Text: (skip 20 lines) M
Wait 50 or so, keep it small
Display Text: (skip 20 lines) Mo
Wait 50 or so
Display Text: (skip 20 lines) Moo
The effect is it appearing to be "typed". That can't really happen, its essentially just text being displayed but you don't see it all because only so many lines can fit on the screen.

Are you refering to being TOTALLY erased from the screen for the next one? Not a problem. Just add 10 spaces or so.
It'll look like this:
Display for current player
CODE
Man: Hello how are you?
Wait 2000 miliseconds
CODE
Other man: Good, you?

There must Be 11 lines of text inorder for the next text to compleatly overwrite the previous (in the game). This is also needed if you intend to do in-game animated text.
I personaly wouldn't put the text at the end. Unless you want the text to appear low. I would center it in the screen as much as possable. Therefore you would have several blank lines before and after.

Just mess around with it. If you don't like the way it looks, change it. If you do, don't change it.
