How do you overlap text in the briefings, not the mission briefing box, but the large text message box. The tutorial only gives a guide to in-game and forces, but not mission briefing. Also, when I did try, the letters/words would only flash for a second and scroll up. This is the format I had:

TextMessage("-Back--Color--Word--Forward--Color--Word--Invis.--Letters-", 100);
Wait(100);
TextMessage("-Back--Color--Word--Forward--Color--Word--Invis.--Letters-", 100);
Wait(100);

And etc. Can somebody tell me how many letters or how many tabs/spaces I should use? And also how to fix the flashy text and scrolling?

I'm still having problems as far as the flashing text and scrolling goes.

if you want flashy text make the waits about 600-700 long (depending on how fast you want them to flash)

it all depends on the words you are using.
Yes stacking can be very innoying, and time consuming, i would put away 2-3 hours to stack all your text.

If you want them to stay longer then you have to make lota of flashing texts, then when you want to clear the screen put a couple lines blank like so:

TextMessage("-Back--Color--Word--Forward--Color--Word--Invis.--Letters-", 100);
Wait(650);
TextMessage("-Back--Color--Word--Forward--Color--Word--Invis.--Letters-", 100);
Wait(650);
TextMessage("-Back--Color--Word--Forward--Color--Word--Invis.--Letters-", 100);
Wait(650);
TextMessage("-Back--Color--Word--Forward--Color--Word--Invis.--Letters-", 100);
Wait(650);
TextMessage("-Back--Color--Word--Forward--Color--Word--Invis.--Letters-", 100);
Wait(650);

and so on

Sorry if I misled you, but i don't want flashy text. It's automatically doing that and scrolling up.

if you DONT want flashy text then just overlap it and dont type it in again..

Sorry to have misled you again. I'm using different words each time I do the TextMessage(); trigger in mission briefings.

ADDITION:
To be much more specific, I want to know how to do the overlapping done in the Lumpia Bound's text message box in the briefings.

Stacking with different words looks bad, why would you want to do that?

Ok, I'm not saying things clear enough, sorry. I have a word that is stacked. Then I have a wait trigger. Then I have another text message trigger with another letter or so. Another wait trigger and so on.

Stacking in briefing and not mission objectives is a pain in the donkey. And will take some serious time of check and guess. but that is really the only way to do it.
