Hi there. If I have a text message shown with triggers that I only want shown so long how do I remove it as the next text message comes? Other than making the text messages so short they go away normally. Thanks



None.

This should be in the UMS assistance forum, not the modding forum. If you want a message to go away after a certain amount of time, you can either use the Transmission action, which lets you set the duration of the message, or you can just display a new message with 12 empty lines after the first message has been displayed for however long you want it there. You can only fit up to 12 lines of text on the screen, so if you send a new message with 12 blank lines, it will just push the first message off of the screen, making it disappear.

A note about using empty text lines to push it off, any player messages will also get cleared.

Text display duration depends on the length of the string you're displaying. I can't give you a formula but when playing around you'll quickly get a feel for it.

Often I used to pad the text with invisible chars to make it stay on screen longer. (shorter isn't possible unfortunately)

Using the transmission action is not recommended as it acts like a wait and as such can cause wait blocks. If you know what you're doing, however, you can also use that.

TheHappy115 -- Yea, thats the issue. Thanks. It would also explain why my deleted map couldn't get updated. Updated version reduced collision on units (only thing added) since was dodging game (players collide with each other)

Ultraviolet -- If so, I'd just focus on getting them on scmscx.com and then you can link to that in the showcase thread for your maps

Ultraviolet -- I can't upload my EUD maps, I think the DLDB has some issue with handling them. Are you trying to upload EUD maps?

TheHappy115 -- Its been awhile but ever since I requested one of the Maps I posted to be deleted since I couldn't delete it myself (or update it), I haven't been able to upload any more maps. Any reason for that?
