Formatting briefing ?

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.
