Hi.
How do I format the briefing with line breaks? Currently i have a long string in Textmessag() and I want it to have line breaks instead of cluttering it all.

That might help. I'm not sure what you're asking, but that's the only broad tutorial on briefings that I know of (I've never gotten far enough in one map to try and create a briefing, so I have no experience, unfortunately). :(

Well I assume you already tried [Enter], so I'm suggesting that you put a bunch of spaces wherever you need that linebreak.

To add line breaks to strings in Text Trigedit (and the text Mission Briefing Editor), type \r\n into the string.

Why not just \n?

People like to do \r in front of \n because just doing \n yields a different result in some applications. For SC, I don't believe returning is necessary.

If the application (such as StarEdit) doesn't support it, it just appears as a zero-length space. It also takes up 1 less byte than \r\n.

When using the classic briefing editor and then switching to the text briefing editor, you'll find that all line breaks use \r\n. Whether the carriage return code is necessary for StarCraft is another matter; I merely posted what SCMDraft2 uses.

Oh_Man -- arty's done another vid. he's also announced he's going to organise showmatches with pro, with NO maphacks, so we can see its actual capabilities
[10:09 am]
NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games
[02:30 am]
Symmetry -- I dreamed about that as a kid. The idea of a computer capable of analyzing a starcraft map and calculating the fastest possible way to hit the victory condition

Symmetry -- But can AI beat my custom maps?

Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM
[2026-9-22. : 8:48 am]
NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation
[2026-9-22. : 8:47 am]
NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
