:( You know when you start some UMS games... It shows the game title who its by.. and stuff like by words .. moving animations
Ex. Words in the middle change colors.. / words . go left to right.. up down.. stuff like that..
Can you tell me the Trigger for that?
Precisely .. please :bye1:

Okay, so basically, in the mission briefings, they use the trigger 'Set Mission Objectives' and then they display certain text, then they put a wait, like wait 50 milliseconds, then they set the mission objectives again, this time changing it slightly, they do this over and over and when they play it all it moves the text so quickly it looks like it is animated.

I know, you use color codes, like the ones below in SCM Draft 2 to change colors of text, and you just display it again and change the color, it's different text, they just took the same text and changed the color.


You earn minerals for posting.

As for minerals, they are just to show who posts the most, as well as who's posts are the best.

There is a trigger called "Display Text Message". Simply use this, and add one letter at a time.

Example.

Display Text Message: w
Display Text Message: w0
Display Text Message: w00
Display Text Message: w00t
Display Text Message: w00tl
Display Text Message: w00tla
Display Text Message: w00tlar
Display Text Message: w00tlarz

-------------/

Anyway, when it changes color, just use the color codes..

EDIT: Wow, Falkoner, you beat me by 5 seconds :P

note that you also have to add extra lines at the start or end of each display, so you can't see what was displayed before.

no i mean...

Players:
All Players

Conditions:
Always();

Actions:
DisplayText("









<1>Clan xNSx",4);
Wait(100);
DisplayText("









<2>Clan xNSx",4);
Wait(100);
DisplayText("









<3>Clan xNSx",4);


Those extra lines clear the text on the screen, so you don't see what was displayed before, and it looks animated.

you use as many as you need for the entire screen to be cleared (use the same amount for every display)

try to edit your posts, instead of quadruple posting.

bnbn, it's much better to edit your post than to post four times. Also, what's with all the random dots in your posts? If you don't mind me asking.

Edit: See, like this.

Basically, don't bother with animating your briefings. Because you have to make a different action for every single color change, it takes at least a couple hours to make and perfect a really shiny and flashy briefing... spend that time making your map better, instead! That's what counts.

...atleast my post wasn't opinionated or anything ;)

A couple of hours? Takes me about 20 minutes to make some pretty good ones, like in Ghentinvsville I had one where a little ship flew by and shot all the text, it then exploded and changed into my name :P.

Wow, you spent all that time to do that? You should copy/paste me those triggers so I could use them but put my name instead of yours. LOL! :lol:

Maybe.. but I think it will take about 30 min .. cause .. if you do good on it.. The words.. dont just change colors.. they move.. they go up down .. 1 word at a time.. flash.. all of those stuff..
HOW DO YOU PUT YOUR PIC on your ID??.. and signatures..

OMG bnbn is probably the most annoying poster on this site O.o Someone steal his 'period'-key... -jk
If you can possibly go off-topic with such a topic header you've done that... I think...

But still an answer:
Go on Site -> My Settings -> Avatar to change your pic.
Signatures must be enabled, which costs minerals which you can gain by helpful posts.

It won't take nearly an hour, unless you use classic trigger editing...
besides, you can do it all in one action, if you use non-blocking hypers or wait until after the intro to initiate hypers.
