Staredit Network -> UMS Assistance -> [SOLVED] In-game Animated Text Messages

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Pyro_Maniak14 on 2005-12-22 at 22:24:46

Animating messages in the breifing is easy. But when your playing the game its different with text messages. For example, Ill do it just like Id do it in the breifing:
Conditions:
Always.
Actions:
Wait 10000milliseconds.
Display for current player: H
Wait 1 millisecond
Display for current player: He
Wait 1 millisecond
Display for current player: Hel
Wait 1 millisecond
Display for current player: Hell
Wait 1 millisecond
Display for current player: Hello
But when I play the game it turns out like
H
He
Hel
Hell
Hello
How do you make it...
H-He-Hel-Hell-Hello Like it ads on the letters instead of adding lines.

The only thing I can think of is to insert a long block of blank text in between so that, for instance, the 'H' is no longer on the screen when the 'He' is. I'd like to know too, if someone has an easier way.

I tried that but its pretty hard because you can only go so far by spacing it. Then I put HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA(about 10 lines of it) and used invisible text to make it vanish but still some HAHAs showed... its hard to color multiple lines of text.

From what l see that should work, maybe instead of waiting 1 millisecond try 10 milliseconds see what that does if it still doesn't work well you doing something wrong then.

You can also test the exact milisecond the text disappears, and make new text apear right after. That makes it go slowly, but people can type during the message then.

Easy.

Trigger

Description:

animated text

Players:

¤ players #

Conditions:

¤ Always

Actions:

¤ Displaytext(%H);

¤ wait(45);

¤ Displaytext(%He);

use spaces not invisable text.
the % is a lot of spaces like this many |------------------------------------------------------------------------|

The idea is to create enough spaces that the next message completely replaces the location of the old one. So instead of just bumping it 1 space up, it is bumped out completely. Hope that clarifys things a little.

When I do that I just go like:

H

I like drop to the 13th line or so. Then I do my next letter and so on and so forth.

Maybe this will somewhat clear it up... meh.

It will work if u put the text in the 11th line like this:

Display text message:

H

Ya space about 15 lines down then do taht thing (for example ill use hello)

Warning it works best when it centering u can find this in tutorials under text formatting if u cant find me send me a message il give it to u

Ive found 75 milliseconds works best

W=white
B=Blue

(center)H
75milli
(center)HE
75milli
(center)HEL
75milli
(Center)HELL
75milli
(center)HeLLO
75milli
(center)H(b)E(b)L(b)L(b)O
75milli
(center) H(w)E(w)L(w)L(w)O

Repeat the last to steps to keep it flashing though 2 more times would be enough.

If u want message me and ill send u a map with the trigger if u dont understand this

Okay Dude all of the problems
you have is about the spacing,
just do the text first, then space after
but dont do 15 spaces, do 12 spaces.
