Whenever I try to make a transmission in the mission briefing, the text only shows up for like half a second. The sound keeps playing, but the text disappears too fast. This happens with every map whenever I try to make a transmission in the mission briefing. Anyone know why?

Err. You gotta put "Show for however long."



None.

Add a wait action after the text.

I've tried all that. I set the transmission to like 40 seconds and added a 10 second wait, but it still goes away. :crazy:

If the transmission is 40 seconds, then you need a 40 second wait to display all of it. Also, how long has it been since you updated your SCM Draft?



None.

I just downloaded the file from the scmdraft thread like 3 days ago. Also, transmissions do act as waits in mission briefings. The wav continues to play; it's just the text that disappears.

If the text length exceeds a certain amount, I know it doesn't display. Try making a simple 1 letter text and see if it works?



None.

post it, copy someone else's briefing/don't use a briefing. Nobody reads them anyway.

It's true. Don't spend much times on the briefing, maybe just reiterate some things. 5 minutes should be spent, tops. Nobody reads them - in fact you'll be yelled at if you do.



None.

It's the mission briefings for my campaign. They're pretty important. >_>

EDIT: I took rockz's advice and copied it from the original missions, and now it works! Problem solved. :)

Oh_Man -- whereas just "press X to get 50 health back" is pretty mindless

Oh_Man -- because it adds anotherr level of player decision-making where u dont wanna walk too far away from the medic or u lose healing value

Oh_Man -- initially I thought it was weird why is he still using the basic pre-EUD medic healing system, but it's actually genius

Vrael shouted: I almost had a heart attack just thinking about calculating all the offsets it would take to do that kind of stuff
With the modern EUD editors, I don't think they're calculating nearly as many offsets as you might imagine. Still some fancy ass work that I'm sure took a ton of effort

Oh_Man -- definitely EUD
