You could loop the set text in multiboard actions so it is easier to edit.

Actually, this is pretty useful. I realize you can't remove the [ALL] or [ALLIES] text, but other than that the triggering looks simple but does its job.

The main two things are that you should use a recycling system for:

  • Set Count = (Count + 1)
  • //When Count reaches 7, reset it to 0 or 1, so there's no chance of reaching the 8192 limit and it'll perform better late game.
to increase the overall efficiency of the system, and the other it to increase the loop from .01 to .03 as you won't see a difference visually.

I'd suggest displaying the name of the player before the text - that's really all I can suggest. Good work, keep it up.

Archangel: ty for the feedback, yeah thats a good idea i will create a resetter that resets entire chat like every 1 minute or something.

Razor: Yeah i know.. but i just didnt have the time to do that when i made the system :/

Beef Is Back: if are good enough at triggering you might be able to create more multiboards then by using arrow controlls each player can cycle between them, I've seen this system before but i'm not quite sure on how to make it my self.
