screen messages

[ihateschool]

How do u get messeges to appear on the screen during game play(like in warhammer td)?
I would like to know because i am making my own tree tag map.
P.S. My map will be called Tree tag by Mickle.

like "You recieved ### gold from Ralle" ?

hmm. In trigger editor make an action, press G, the first thing coming up is Game - Display message.... That's the one.

 

[ihateschool]

i have done that but where does it go to. i put in the writeing back the front.so now i need to find it.

 

[Ralle]

huh..?!

 

[ihateschool]

but i put them in backwards e.g.4, 2, 1, 3. thats what happened

 

[Ralle]

OK, I maybe understand the problem here. Let's say that you want to display the following:

I
am
ihateschool!

To do so, you have "actions" selected in the "Trigger Functions"-section and then clicked "add action" 3 times and wrote the messages in the "right" order, BUT you forgot to sort them! In the trigger editor, I think it looks like this:

• Actions
  • Game - Display to (All players) the text: ihateschool!
  • Game - Display to (All players) the text: am
  • Game - Display to (All players) the text: I

The solution is very easy, you just click and drag the actions to sort them into the right order (basicly moving the last one to be first and the first one to be the last).It should now look like this:

• Actions
  • Game - Display to (All players) the text: I
  • Game - Display to (All players) the text: am
  • Game - Display to (All players) the text: ihateschool!

Problem solved?

there are two more ways of doing it.
you can simply press ENTER (which means change new line) t make a second line.
you can also add |n after, this does also means change line.
