i need to know what a good wait time for a conversation between each person talking?
That would be for UMS maps right?
If so, post in the UMS map making assistance forum.
It depends on how long the line is that each person is saying. Normally, people do 15 spaces before they start the text, and they move to the next line when the text reaches about half way across your screen. I'd say maybe 1200 milliseconds per line.
11 lines is the max for displaying text msg on sc so using 12 spaces would work too.
I meant 15 'spaces' (i.e. hitting the Space bar). People usually do:
CODE
Person's Name
Text the person is saying.
Text the person is saying.
When I do my timing, I usually just say it out loud and time how long it takes.
Ha. That's a good way to do it Moose, I also do that too. (But I say it in my head)
