In my map I have transmissions instead of display text message because I want the players to know what unit is talking to them. But, whenever I reach the location for the unit to use the transmission it never shows up! This is more for knowlage than a question because I could easily just make the transmissions into text messages but its more convinient for the player and I just want to know!
>>MY TRIGGER:
Players: Force 1 (The force wich contains the players, ONLY THE PLAYERS).
Conditions: Force 1 brings at least 1 marine to 'location'
Actions: display text message (it blank and 20 'enters' down so when the unit talks its got a clear screen), send transmission, create unit, move unit, remove unit, comment
(its not because of the display message, I already tested that)

Does the rest of the trigger fire? Is the unit speaking in the location specified?

yes, the rest of the trigger IS firing. (i added the portrait) so the portrait is talking, the unit is being created and moved.
i tried to use a differnt sound in the transimission instead of null sound but it didn't work, so everything, but everything in the transmission is working.

So your not getting the text? Whatabout the unit selection circle thing?
Would it be possable that you have too many blank lines after it or another text message is clearing it out. I don't work with transmissions much so Its mostly guess work for me lol.

lol. i need all the help i can get even if its from someone who doesn't use transmissions 
. im not getting the text or the circle around the unit or anythng to do with the transmission. i tried deleting the text (the display text message with the 20 'enters' down) and that did nothing. there is NO other text or transmission happing at the same time and hyper triggers affect nothing. i am very stumped. i have exusted all of my options and thats why i posted this. if no one knows then lock this and tell me to use display text message, BUT I WANT TO KNOW WHAT WENT WRONG! lol

I would assume you specified the wrong unit/player or the unit isn't in the location you said the transmission needs to be at.

Try putting "Wait 1" or something in between each transmission. If that doesn't work, then I don't know what will.

theres only 1 transmission in a trigger, but I will try to put a wait 1 infront or behind each to see what happens.

Don't use the built-in wait for Transmissions. Set that to 0 then add a wait trigger after it.
