Transmission 101?

Can someone give me the start to finish of creating the impression of dialogue in-game? I see the transmission trigger but I don't have sound (I'm a private player not a studio with voice actors) so I don't have a sound file with subtitles to import so my 'transmissions' dont have text. I tried the chat bubble thing but no text showed up. lament for StarEdit :(



None.

Transmission - Send transmission to (All players) from (Unit with Flash (Do Not override portrait) playing Talk) playing No Sound Link with name Name and message Message using (Cinematic portrait at Center Left) playing Talk (Add 0.0 seconds, Don't Wait until it finishes)

What's wrong with that trigger?

If your only problem is a lack of sound, then you can just use the standard transmission sound (in Value, search for "Dialogue_TransmissionStart"), or even the Preset "No Sound Link".

I don't really see what you're having trouble with. :s

You could even alternate the portrait location with left and right to get a conversation going.

I guess I somehow missed that, I still dont understand why they need like 4 transmission triggers (nondescript, campaign, simple) but whatever. thanks!



None.

and of course its firing twice so I get twice the dialogue for twice the fun. nice... Any reason why a trigger which is caused by a unit entering region would be firing twice?
