No, it doesn't. That's one of the features left out as of yet.

Ok nublets ima teach you how to make an editor with strings, go into SF and make all your text's timed and what not (this is for flashing moving... anything like that in brefing)
you label every new text with a number starting with 1 to however many text chnages you have. Your trigger looks likes this or similar...

(SF TRIGG LAYOUT)

CONDITIONS:
Always

ACTIONS:
DisplayText("1", (this part dont matter if text changes b4 the wait is over, if using mission obj. there is no time display for text)
Wait(200);
DisplayText("2", 200);
Wait(200);
DisplayText("3", 200);
Wait(200);

Now when you go into strings if you create them in this kind of order you can add color change text and even watch your brefing flash if you continuesly go down from 1 with your text changed

StarForge for terrain, then X-tra editor for triggers and other work!

there is a reason why they posted here for help. using the word nublets is uncalled for.

back on topic: you have to be more specific whether what editor you are using and what do you want your briefing to look like.

He specifically said he was using ScmDraft.

However, I don't use ScmDraft for Mission Briefings. X-Tra is much better for that.

And also, I would like to note that putting Wait 9999999 is absoluetly horrible mapping etiquete because the breifing never ends. Someone AFK or just being a idiot might not press start after a minute causing everyone to leave and no one playing the game. Just put like Wait 2000 at the end.
