Briefing Text Disappears Too Quickly
ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
Whenever I try to make a transmission in the mission briefing, the text only shows up for like half a second. The sound keeps playing, but the text disappears too fast. This happens with every map whenever I try to make a transmission in the mission briefing. Anyone know why?
Err. You gotta put "Show for however long."
None.

Add a wait action after the text.

I've tried all that. I set the transmission to like 40 seconds and added a 10 second wait, but it still goes away. 
If the transmission is 40 seconds, then you need a 40 second wait to display all of it. Also, how long has it been since you updated your SCM Draft?
None.

I just downloaded the file from the scmdraft thread like 3 days ago. Also, transmissions do act as waits in mission briefings. The wav continues to play; it's just the text that disappears.
If the text length exceeds a certain amount, I know it doesn't display. Try making a simple 1 letter text and see if it works?
None.

post it, copy someone else's briefing/don't use a briefing. Nobody reads them anyway.

It's true. Don't spend much times on the briefing, maybe just reiterate some things. 5 minutes should be spent, tops. Nobody reads them - in fact you'll be yelled at if you do.
None.

It's the mission briefings for my campaign. They're pretty important. >_>
EDIT: I took rockz's advice and copied it from the original missions, and now it works! Problem solved.

Still going.. strong is debatable though.[04:13 pm]
WeirdoX4857 -- I can't believe this is really been around since 2003 but it does look classic and old asf still better than talking to kids on discord ranting about skibidi toilet and sexuality or whatever mental illness is going on in their heads[04:11 pm]
WeirdoX4857 -- Nigga how you ask is it still going strong when you get a text every 3 miles per hour or something[2026-9-27. : 3:11 pm]
NudeRaider -- I bet it just needs another training session against pros instead of only against itself and nobody will be able to stop it anymore.[2026-9-27. : 3:09 pm]

so it can be beaten by a prepared pro, even in macro games, if only barely. the muta micro in particular seems really hard to handle for protoss ground though. In the open goons can't catch them, in the base they trip over buildings, it just instantly flies out of storms and they fly circles around archons. Mass cannons do work, but can't cover the whole map with it. Probably need mass corsair to counter and hope you can outmaneuver all the scourge.
