Hey guys, I want it so when you move a unit over the Healing beacon, it says: Healing (with a RED "H"), then Healing (with a RED "e"), then Healing (with a RED "a") and so on, so it seems as though the RED letter is passing through the text, but when I tried, it just stacked all the text on top of eachother, so it looked like this:

Healing
Healing
Healing
Healing (With colored letters in their respective places)
Healing
Healing
Healing
Complete!

This was my trigger ---

PLAYERS
- All players

CONDITIONS
-Current player brings at least 1 any unit to location "Heal"

ACTIONS
- Display text "Healing"
- Wait 40 milliseconds
- Display text "Healing"
- Wait 40 milliseconds
- Display text "Healing"
- Wait 40 milliseconds
- Display text "Healing" (With colored letters in their respective places & centered)
- Wait 40 milliseconds
- Display text "Healing"
- Wait 40 milliseconds
- Display text "Healing"
- Wait 40 milliseconds
- Display text "Healing"
- Wait 40 milliseconds
- Display text "Complete!"
- Set hit points for all any unit owned by current player at location "Heal" to 100%
- Preserve trigger

Try this....

[r] = red text
[w] = white text

Put 5 lines blank before and after the text

Example:
1
2
3
4
5
6 [r]H[w]ealing
7
8
9
10
11

Then just change the colors accordingly and time it a little slower like 100 milliseconds.

You have to skip 11 lines or so before the text, or the old text isn't going to clear.

What you have to do is place spaces above each of your messages, so that when the new message displays, it takes up the whole screen, eliminating the last message.

Or you can Display Healing,
wait(40)
display 15 lines blank text
display healing
wait(40(

etc...

Well...one MORE way is to display whatever, then display a message with just one space...then display the changes...and so on...

although you could do it the other way if that was the effect that you wanted, but more or less it is better the way everyone explained it to you
