Scrolling text

[Disasterpiece512]

How do I make scrolling text credits? Text coming from the bottom of the screen going to the top, just like the movie credits. Any ideas?

Ugh... Any other way that doesn't use vJASS?

Like game massages or like floating text?

Game massages would be easier to trigger, floating text would look more, well, floating.

Game messages.

In that case, I would do it like this:

• Sequence
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Video - Turn cinematic mode On for (All players)
    • Set Linenumber = 6
    • Set Line[1] = This
    • Set Line[2] = is
    • Set Line[3] = just
    • Set Line[4] = a
    • Set Line[5] = test
    • Set Line[6] = story.
    • For each (Integer A) from (Linenumber + 1) to (Linenumber + 16), do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Line[(Integer A)] =
    • Wait 1.50 game-time seconds
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to (Linenumber + 16), do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Game - Display to (All players) for 3600.00 seconds the text: Line[(Integer A)]
        • Wait 1.50 game-time seconds
    • Video - Turn cinematic mode Off for (All players)

Line[] is a string array that stores the lines of your text. Don't make the lines too long, or it will start a new line (ingame), which looks ugly. For example, only 34 'M's fir in one line, but way more 'i's.

Linenumber is a integer that gets the number of lines your text has.
