First off, type in proper english. I'm not sure if I understand you correctly but I'll take a guess.


Things you need to know. 1,000 milliseconds=1 seconds. So 3,000 milliseconds=3 seconds. That's about all the time you need in between those short bits of text right there. Your triggers need to run like this:


Trigger
Description:
text
Players:
¤ players
Conditions:
¤ conditions
Actions:
¤ Display text:[insert text here]
¤ wait 3000 milliseconds
¤ Next set of text
¤ wait 3,000 milliseconds
¤ next set of text



For fading out text, you first input the text in white. Then you reinput it in grey. Then you input another blank message that takes up many lines.

Trigger
Description:
Fade-Out
Players:
¤ Player(s)
Conditions:
¤ Always
Actions:
¤ Display text message: [white] Welcome! <press about 10 times>
¤ Display text message: [grey] Welcome! <press enter about 10 times>
¤ Display text message: <press enter about 10 times>

That should do it. You put the enters in to make the messages cancel out each other, if you don't have any enters it'll appear like this:
Welcome!
Welcome!
[none]

Wrong, if you are doing it 3000 miliseconds and the text is:
"Corbo[MM] is making a great mod called CorboboCraft, the mod it's already on it's beta phase and of course it's part of the 1337 Clan [MM] productions, you can download it at staredit.net."

Do you think they will read that in 3 seconds?
it actually depends on the ammount of words i usually do
1-5 words 3000 milis
1-8 words 5000 milis
1-12 words 6500 milis
1-15 words 8000 milis...

however that's just me and i don't think you are actually using more than 15 words....in just one message

You mean words? tongue.gif

Also, if you want the text to be at the bottom, and not the top, you insert the enters before the text to push the text to line 12, which is the normal place for text to be displayed.

Say the speech out loud and time how long it takes for you to say.

Read it to yourself, and time how long it takes. Add like 2 seconds to that, then you can have another text with over 15 blank lines which will make that dissappear, then you can type whatever you want. This is how people make cool affects with text in the game just like people do in the beggining page before the game telling you what to do. Thats what I do if you have ever seen one of my games.
