"center view" problem

the center views i have at the very beginning of this map are not working. its supposed recenter several times appearing to "scroll" from letter to letter every second or two. the letter is also displayed in the center of the screen which has been working (except for the first g for some reason). anyone who wants to DL this map can look around at the triggers and try and see what the problem is... the trigs are pretty simple to figure out. this version is only for testing so it just has one human player instead of the normal four that there will be which means you can test it yourself w/o goin online. btw i have hyper trigs so i (attempted) to use a resource counter as the timer to avoid wait blocks. it works for the text messages (besides the first) but the view isnt centering for some reason. im not too familiar with hypers or death/resource/etc. counters so the problem could lie there. maybe its cuz i pause the game before the centering happens, idk, but id appreciate if someone would check it out.

one more small question... i have the words genecide war scroll down the screen at the beginning in the middle of the screen. is it possible to have the words centered AND be colored at the same time? i tried but its not working. i could be doing it wrong.

thx

I think you forgot the display text action for the first 'G'.

pause is doing nothing in multiplayer.

center view is acting as a wait in single player ==> wait blocks!

are you saying that the "center view" action can cause wait blocks??

and any info on having the text colored AND centered?



None.

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

In singleplayer the whole scrolling the screen is the time the wait is running (a wait is running anyway in singleplayer).
In multiplayer your screen jumps to that location without scrolling.

You can have color and centered text at the same time. Just add the color letter/sign/code directly in front of the words.

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.
