Text/Center View-related triggers not working

Okay, I'm making a 2-player co-op map. The two players are Player 7 and Player 2. Player 7 is required, Player 2 isn't.
It seems that on cutscenes, for one of the players, triggers that make the players center view onto a location or text triggers don't work. I know that it's for one player becaues when I test alone as Player 7, I can see them fine, but when I have both Player 2 and Player 7 in play, I, player 7 can't see the triggers work.

What causes this, and more importantly, how can I fix this?



None.

Double check your conditions. You've more than likely got some switch being set so that you don't see the same message twice, which makes the trigger run only once. You want it to run twice.

As a cardinal rule, a trigger that doesn't run is due to conditions not being met or wait blocks. Sit down and THINK about the conditions, and which ones might be set prematurely, then fix them. If all else fails post the trigger and I'll tell you what's wrong.

Ultraviolet -- just sent you a message on Discord. I suspect you're probably trying to change unit speeds for units that don't use flingy.dat for movement (like any units that walk instead of hovering/flying). You can change their movement to flingy, but they unfortunately look more like they're gliding than walking when you do that.

Symmetry -- EE2, I've been using setdatfile successfully for units.dat and weapons.dat but the flingy changes don't seem to happen

Ultraviolet -- in EE2 you just open DatEdit, go to the flingy tab, and make whatever changes you want. Though if you want to do dynamic shit, you have to use the trigger editor with the setdatfile action. And of course you have to inject your changes when done. Can give more specific troubleshooting advice if you provide more details
