Game - Text, higher 1st line?

[Elemental91]

I've got an item, that if when used, a trigger triggers, showing the player a whole lot of info by using the "Game - Display to (playergroup) the text: "

but the start of the first line is way too low, so you can't even begin to read it all =/ any clue how to set this point higher, so I can see the full text?

Maybe this screenie will give you a better idea of what I mean;

If this is not possible I've got a different solution, but I want to check if its possible first

You can set text position viaDisplayTextToPlayer, I'm not sure if you can in GUI.

call DisplayTextToPlayer(GetLocalPlayer(), 0, 1, "message")

Will place "message" at the top of the screen.

You can also just spam a bunch of empty text messages (or messages with spaces in them). That will push all those other ones up. The only issue is it will also show up in the log a bunch of blank lines, but if it is a multiplayer map you don't need to worry about that.

How do I make it display it to "TEMPPlayerGroup" ?
Cause LocalPlayer would be triggering player, i think..? but its a unit event in this case.

call DisplayTextToPlayer(udg_TEMPPlayerGroup, 0, 1, "message")

Edit: Wait, no, it doesn't work for player groups, this is for a single player, but the same idea applies.

Balls. Erm, can i do DisplayTextToPlayer(OwnerOfTriggeringUnit) ?

You could create a variable for that and set it display for that variable.

Fire the empty lines after your message. And fill in '|r' or some spaces, something that it gets recoginized as a string without letters.

This should work;

call DisplayTextToPlayer(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()), 0, 1, "message")

If you want in GUI you can set some variables

• Actions
  • Set PlayerVar - (Owner of (Triggering Unit))
  • Set Message - "Message"
  • Set Height - 1
  • Custom script: call DisplayTextToPlayer(udg_PlayerVar, 0, udg_Height, udg_Message)
