[TRIGGER] Scrolling Ending Credits

[Aeroblyctos]

Hey,

After 7 long years of making The Chosen Ones campaign is about to come to an end. I'm working at the moment epilogue and I'm going to put credits at the end of the game. So I need an awesome "scrolling ending credits" just like in real movies.

I know that there is this system which is what I want. However, it is made with vJASS and as the project I'm working on is a campaign I cannot use it.

Information what I'm requesting:

• GUI made
• The system should not lag
• It should be easy to understand and work with
• I got this much credits (you create the systems, I add the credits of course)
• After finished the system can be uploaded to spell section for others to use

Reputation and big credits for the one who can create this.

How does that system (Scrolling Text) works ?
Is it by moving Floating Text from Point A to Point B ?

Like this:

Probably using Floating Text is the best way. I don't actually know other way...

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Bump!

Going to agree with the other guy and say floating text is probably your best bet. That and a lot of copy-pasting.

An alternative could be to use the way Blizzard showed their credits? By using the ingame cinematic transmission with a model that looks like the person you give credit.

EDIT: Going to test a way of doing it with text, brb.

The problem with TextTags is the limit length per line, around 36 characters (Maybe changes with font size), after that, the game will put a line break. Long texts will be affected, like those in your Special credits section.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Well if special credits are done other way but everything else like scrolling?

 

[LordDz]

It almost works as it should, I just have some bug with the text not aligning like it should. Maybe you can fix it.

It breaks each credited person into two strings, The name of the person to the left and the description/type of person to the right

Select the footman ingame to begin.

I will think about this and later I will come back to this thread tell what I will do.

Not sure yet how this should go but I have to thank you already for the basic structure.

EDIT: I can't understand why these two text lines can't come at the same time. Maybe you can help me?

Picture + map attached.

Oh I see now! Thanks.

EDIT: The thing works perfectly now(I little modified it) and I continue adding credits to the epilogue of the campaign. Thanks a lot LordDz for the system!
