Gonna show a text, "Display Text"..

well..

CON: Whatever

ACTION: DisplayText(Text,AlwaysDisplay);


At "AlwaysDisplay" what should I typ? SF says it should be a number,
1 = yes 2 = no?
Or is it for which player the message will show?


One more thing, Not a prob really: On the "Siege Tank" (Hero/non-hero) You can't change the DMG, kinda bad, well use X-tra for that, still...

I don't remember doing anything like that before...

Just put 1 and if the trigger works fine then leave it like that. If not try 2 or just put the number that starforge asks.

BTW: Are you sure it's not the amount of time that you want the text to be displayed.?

yea, maybe I'll try putting a 10, there...


ADDITION: nope....


It worked but not 10 times or anything...


another thing is in SF, is when you create something with "Properties"... alot of number but you can't figure what they are for...


CreateUnitWithProperties(Count, Unit, Where, Player, Properties);

Wanted my Command Center Invunerable... haven't figured out which number yet :S... well I could to it in X-tra. Still happy.gif

Put in 4 for always display because 4= current player so if player 1 box is checked then p1 will read text

Edit: And for invincibility I'm pretty sure it's "1"

DisplayText("Insert text here", 4);

The 4 above is Always Display "checked" (what you'd see in the dialog boxes from Staredit-based programs).

0 is "unchecked", which displays only if Subtitles are on.

I actually remember the "4" part from months ago when I first came onto this site... came in handy when I decided to use Starforge tongue.gif

Please, newbies, read this post, memorize it, and never ask the question again. happy.gif

ADD: Kaboom, 1 isn't Invincibility. So far I still haven't figured out how SF keeps track of CreateUnitWith, but if you check more than 2 boxes it'd still display "1".

I said Might! But anyways I'm pretty sure thought because if you make invincibility for Xtra and open in Sf i think it sais 1 in sf. Not sure.


Edit: Ohh wait I said pretty sure tongue.gif

You don't need to be fast i found a lot of tricks to get the trigger faster for example

If you wanna preserve trigger all you do is type in a few letters to specify the trigger then a blue high lighter with go over the trigger. Then all you do is "(" and it will automatically finnish spelling the trigger out for you wink.gif same thing with all the other stuff. If you want the create a unit. Zergling for example, all you do is type in Ze so you specify the unit then you do "," and it does it for you.

Or you can just double click the trigger biggrin.gif

I meant trick as in it was part of program not a bug or anything but some people don't know so...

It's called auto-complete, but it doesn't help too much. It's a lot quicker to do SE triggers. Try it and time yourself, you'll see.

RexyRex, either you have never used SF triggers or you're just guessing. I bet I can make 10000 different triggers in SF before you can finish half of that. I can type just 4-6 times and i'm done with 1 trigger. no copy and paste thanks.

darn you non programming freaks who are obsessed with SE triggers.
