display text in middle of screen

[rulaZ]

hey,

I would like to display text in the middle of the screen when I enter a certain region (like it happens in diablo). What trigger do I need for that?

greetings

I have never played Diablo, only Diablo II and III so I am not sure what you are after.

You could try different text areas to see if one of them is the middle, otherwise just write your own console system using Dialog elements to hold the text.

First create these variables / triggers:

• Region 1 text = No Dialog Item <Dialog Item>
• Create the dialog and labels
• Show region name

In "Create the dialog and labels":

• Create the dialog and labels
  • Events
    • Game - Map initialization
  • Local Variables
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Dialog - Create a Modal dialog of size (500, 400) at (0, 0) relative to Center of screen
    • Dialog - Hide the background image of (Last created dialog)
    • Dialog - Create a label for dialog (Last created dialog) with the dimensions (200, 50) anchored to Top Left with an offset of (50, 50) with the text "<Name of region 1>" color set to White text writeout set to False with a writeout duration of 2.0
    • Variable - Set Region 1 text = (Last created dialog item)
    • Dialog - Hide (Last created dialog item) for (All players)

In "Show region name":

• Show region name
  • Events
    • Unit - Any Unit Enters Region 001
  • Local Variables
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Dialog - Show Region 1 text for (All players)
    • General - Wait 2.0 Game Time seconds
    • Dialog - Hide Region 1 text for (All players)

I do not exactly know how to make the text fade out, if that is what you want, I could try to find out how to do it.
