Ehh, why dont u just do the display trigger using SCXE or something like that?
Then once you do it, you can then look at the trigger with SF or w/e and then learn.

is there a way to do it w/o changing editors and using starforge only?

Yeah, make a new map in staredit, delete all triggers, make one trigger with a display action. look at it in starforge. You dont have to risk your map at all.
or you could keep asking people to do what would take you less then 10 minuts to do.

that is not my question, my question is a simple "yes" or "no".
Is it possible to make the display text trigger work using only starforge?

Just a question, im curious. What exactly does the number do? I don't have Starforge installed so I can't really look at it.

I've heard it means for current player but some other people say it is not so I'm not sure.
As long as it works I don't really mind.

I am pretty sure the number is not the time of the text. It has something to do with who it displays for.
I think someone talked about the numbers in the Starforge section...or the Map making section. You should go check.

The number 4 means "Always display". In Staredit you will see a checkbox instead.

There is an option in SC that will disable text displays if that is unchecked. If you want players to always see it, make sure you check always display.

The second parameter in DisplayText is NOT a time. It is the flags for the action. The number 4 is used to mean "always display," as defined in the StarEdit help. You could use any number where bit 2 is set (4, 5, 6, 7, 12, etc) to accomplish the same thing. Most of the other flags are ignored by SC.
The text will only show up for the current player; that is, the player for whom the trigger is executed. If you're not seeing any text, you should check your players and conditions to make sure it's executing for the right player.
