Im not sure if this idea has been posted before.

You could have a text effect like it moving text from the right hand side of the screen to the left hand side.

But that would be a hell of alot of triggering through text messages there.
All you would need to do is find how many spaces it takes to get to the end, and then subtract like 2 spaces through each text trigger.

Example:


Trigger
Players:
¤ All Players
Conditions:
¤ Always
Actions:
¤ Display Text: (10 Spaces)Text
¤ Wait: 250 Milliseconds
¤ Display Text: (8 Spaces)Text
¤ Wait: 250 Milliseconds
¤ Display Text: (6 Spaces)Text
¤ Wait: 250 Milliseconds
¤ Display Text: (4 Spaces) Text


But of course you would need spaces to make sure each display text trigger doesnt skip to the new line...

It would work better if you used overlapping techniques, because plain spaces makes the text move blocky. (That would also be harder to do) You would also need to make at least 8 empty lines, (I thinks its 8) so that you couldnt see the text that came before. I could see this used for some neat title that flashes in and out while sliding over. happy.gif

Too many strings. If you could somehow make it work by using only two strings, then you will be God.
