Hey, I am having some color trouble. But I wouldn't be sure if the color is working or not, because whenever I start the game the mission objectives pops up and it goes straight to the game...and it's on for 35000 ms, so I don't know why? Maybe it's because I am the only one besides the comp?? Thanks.

Put waits in the brief.
And are you talking about text color trouble? Or player color trouble. be more specific.

Your still having text color trouble?
Hmm, well text is simply other characters that change color.
Possibly if your using gray text, you won't see any other colors beyond that point, because the gray can't have any other color after it in the same string.

SCGamer418, is not SURE if the text colour are working because the mission briefing is going so fast but now SCGamer418 can check because the wait command made the mission briefing slow down. Can't be sure if there are still colour problems unless there is a new post by SCGamer418.

Everything works fine now guys. It was the wait command and also some gray coloring disabled the red, but it works now. Thanks guys.

ADDITION:
and one more question besides the coloring. I set the game to have a leaderboard for kills, and wanted to make a civilian for every 10 kills. So, i did the following....

for the human players - always, display leader board for most kills of any unit.

then i made a new trigger...

Current Player kills score is exactly 10, create 1 civilian at civs for current player.

It still doesn't work, lol. I have tried it with and without preserve, so that's not it...

if u can help id appreciate it thanks....

ADDITION:
i kept trying and then it still doesn't work. I tried changing it to individual people, et still no response. Can someone explain plz? thanks.

You have to make it reduce the kills score to 0 after it creates the civilian, and add 'preserve trigger' in there somewhere, so it will repeat. And I would also suggest having it be 'at least' instead of 'exactly' for the number of kills. I'm not a fan of using 'exactly' for anything, because it sometimes get's skipped over and never happens.

That should work.

"Kill score" doesn't mean "number of kills."

Converting number of kills to something else is a very complex topic and has several different solutions depending on what your requirements are.

Er...There's no such score type as "custom kill score." There is "custom score" and "kill score." Custom score only changes when you tell it to.
