I spent a bit working on the introductory cutscene for a map but can't get the last transmission from Raynor to display. I've checked it multiple times, and the trigger fires, but the transmission just doesn't show up/ping. What could be the cause of this? I'm pretty sure I haven't come anywhere close to the string limit just yet.

Wait block?

I used complex hypers with a death count so that most likely can't be the cause.

ᴄʜᴇᴇsᴇ ɪᴛ!

Transmissions are a shortcut for displaying many actions:
Display Text
Play Wav
Show unit portrait
Show circle under unit
wait

Whether or not you used complex hyper triggers doesn't matter. What matters is the location. I practically guarantee you have a wait block, assuming these conditions:
Hyper triggers are owned by a player other than 7 and 8.
You have one transmission or wait somewhere for a player earlier on in the game or the trigger.

Really the only thing it can be if the trigger fires and yet the trigger doesn't finish is a wait block. One way to test is put in a verifiable action (create unit) before and after each part of the trigger.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

Can u tell us which one doesn't work?
the last transmission in the list is under player 6. That must be player 1 like all other transmission.
Everything is displayed properly then.

That ling was removed during the Nuke ;'(
I wonder if he died...

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.
