[Trigger] Generating text

[CloudWolf]

Im sure most map makers have used the "Game Message" triggers to display some instructions. However, by default these messages are always removed after a specified time.

Is there a way to make them last until a player triggers another event? For example:

I want to display some hero-picker instructions, but i want them to dissapear as soon as the hero is selected :S Ive got no idea how, help!

You create the text (i think timed and say 999999999 (or the max) seconds.)
Then you create a trigger:

Event: Player - Player selects unit
Action: Video - Clear the screen of text messanges for (all player) OR the player you want

you could display a message for lets say 999999seconds to local player and then use also custom script call ClearTextMessages() in a if construction where local player is checked... hope u understand

You don't need the local player I think... he wants the text to disappear if anyone selects a unit.

so he uses Selection Event and triggering player ?!

you need it in jass....gui sucks the thing you posted is just what I wrote , because the Video - Clear screen is equal to

function ClearTextMessagesBJ takes force toForce returns nothing
    if (IsPlayerInForce(GetLocalPlayer(), toForce)) then
        // Use only local code (no net traffic) within this block to avoid desyncs.
        call ClearTextMessages()
    endif
endfunction
