I just want to do a simple introduction at the beginning at my map.
Display text So and so presents..
wait 2000 milliseconds
So and so presents.. so and so map.
But the second text message never appears and i'm just stuck sitting there. What's the problem? I even changed it to 1 millisecond and still nothing.

either use hyper triggers with 2000 milliseconds or use 750 milliseconds and make sure you check the players tat u want them to see.

Yep, I tried using seperate triggers with switches as well.

Make sure that you have the 'Always Display' box checked in the window where you type the text.

Have you tried what I told you to do? SCM Draft is notorious for unchecking the box automatically.

well always display is just incase they dont have display on.
try to see what happens if you take out the hyper trigs
and what does switch 'start' do?

Without Always Display on, the text will be displayed only if the user has subtitles on, which most people don't. It's a fairly common mistake to forget to check the box.
Also, I jsut noticed that you said when you put a 1400 milisecond wait before the display, it didn't display. It appears that you are having wait blocks. Try using deathcounts to replace waits in triggers that you loop.

This EXACT same problem happened to me, you using SF, because i think it might be a glitch in SF, except that i only could see the text, but nobody else....

Woops. All I had to do was switch the hyper trigs to a computer, aha.

He would of had to give it to all the players who he wants the text to display for and ensure that they all actually fire. Any experianced mapmaker should fully understand the concepts talked about in this thread.
