Open a map that has an animated briefing. Study it and know it. That's how I learnt.

Flashy Breifings Tutorial

Please check the Tutorials before you ask a question biggrin.gif

ADDITION: BTW: Once you know that, you can expand by adding the text move, etc etc

Basicllay you need to do each small "frame" with a small wait between them

Yep! The is a lot of Tutorial. Go see them before you ask questions! And Animated briefings are easy, they jsut take a little more time to be real good.You jsut need to do:

Set Mission Objectives to : H
Wait 250 milliseconds
Set Mission Objectives to : He
Wait 250 milliseconds
Set Mission Objectives to : Hey
Wait 250 milliseconds
Set Mission Objectives to : Hey,
Wait 250 milliseconds
Set Mission Objectives to : Hey, W
Wait 250 milliseconds
Set Mission Objectives to : Hey, We
Wait 250 milliseconds
Set Mission Objectives to : Hey, Wel
Wait 250 milliseconds
Set Mission Objectives to : Hey, Welc
Wait 250 milliseconds
Set Mission Objectives to : Hey, Welco
Wait 250 milliseconds
Set Mission Objectives to : Hey, Welcom
Wait 250 milliseconds
Set Mission Objectives to : Hey, Welcome
Wait 250 milliseconds
Set Mission Objectives to : Hey, Welcome t
Wait 250 milliseconds
Set Mission Objectives to : Hey, welcome to

And you could do that all the way. Add colors, flashing effect and other stuff to create a real cool breifing. You don't to use 250 milliseconds. It's a bit fast. But don't put it too slow or the people will get borred.

P.S. To create Flashing Effect jsut Change the colors from White to Gray and it will look flashy!

Ex:
Set Mission Objectives to : H
Set Mission Objectives to : He
Set Mission Objectives to : Hey
Set Mission Objectives to : Hey,
And go on to the end....

dont make a 250 millisecond wait, thats too long. instead use like the 40-50 millisecond waits

well if he wants the brief to go real smooth he should make the waits 10-15 mil secs and like when it gets to like a full word make a wait after that with like 1k mil secs
