Cinematic Trigger Not Working Right

[WrathMonkey]

When my game starts up, there's supposed to be a cinematic. The first line, from the Dragonspawn, doesn't show up... can anyone see any problems with these triggers?

    Actions
        Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game

The Region 003 is a spot a little bit away from the cinematic cameras that is just designated for the Dragonspawn to go to and be removed from the game, so it looks like he walked away.

The Unpause/Pausing is so that the Dragonspawn, who is an enemy to Eldren, will kill him in one blow (since Eldren has been modified to be that weak) when unpaused, and stop when paused.

There is a Visibility trigger because the visibility in the Map Initialization seems to be cancelled after the cinematic.

If you already selected Blue Dragonspawn Overseer 0017 once, what's the point of (Random unit from (Units of type Blue Dragonspawn Overseer))? Just use 0017 again. It won't affect the unit - it just enables it to work and shows the face.

Why do you have so many triggers with the same event? Try putting it into one trigger.

lol, that would work better... but different triggers make it more organized; but sometimes, it could mess it up. So yeah, try putting it into a single trigger and see how it goes.

And also:

Clear the screen of text messages for (All players)

is kinda' useless. There won't be any text messages since: the game just started.

Haha, yea, it is useless, but I originally thought it would move in to cinematic mode from Game View, and that some idiot might be able to get in an annoying message before it finished, but then I realized I could make it instant. I should really remove it..

And it's easier to have multiple triggers for me because it's easier to change a part if just a single part was messed up. I tried mashing it into one trigger, but it was a bit complicated at the time. Things were happening out of order, but I'll put it all together now and see how it turns out.

EDIT: Yea, that worked. I realized the problem when I put them together: I had two triggers that told the Dragonspawn to say the same thing at the same time, and I suppose WE viewed it as unable to be done. Guess it wasn't more organized like that. Thanks a ton, I can get to balancing my TD now and put it up. +rep
