Display Text Message problem (triggers) help please

[smotkid]

Hi i have a problem with using the "display text message" action for triggers,

lets say theres a civilian and i make it so when the civ goes to a beacon, a text message comes up.

im sort of in that position but usually i move the civilian and only I see the text message, no one else does

the trigger is for players 1-6 and its only working for me, please help

Post the trigger. I may have a low post count, but I know quite a bit about starcraft mapping.

Try under 'actions' use preserve trigger, if you have that already you may consider doing the trigger for 'current player'

do current player or all players... (im guessing p7 and p8 are comps.. so it doesnt matter. if not do Force 1.

display text message always gave me problems..

tell me about it.... I also was wondering how much a "starcraft" millisecond equals on the Earth cuz its definitely not right.

lol yea. theres a few things in the sc editor that just make you ask.. wtf????/ 1+1=1????

starcraft seconds (wait triggers, elapsed time, countdown timer) works as earth seconds in NORMAL game speed. No one plays normal game speed. Everyone plays fastest. So a 1 min countdown timer or 60,000 milisecond wait will be a lot less.

O thanks, i waz always wondering why that happened because I put 3000 milliseconds and it equalks like 1 second.
