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.

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

Ultraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
