Marquee text

[Jolly chap*]

I don't know what it's called, but I think it's called the marquee effect or something. Anyway. It's when a string of text goes from left to right (or vice versa) then appears again on the left and the effect continues.

How to do it in a trigger? I would like to have a text that can do that or on a multiboard. Thanks if you know how to do this.

• Text Init
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Text = Hi, this is an annoying scrolling text...
    • Set StringLength = ((Length of Text) + 10)
    • Set Text = (Text + ( + Text)) <- I'm addding 10 spaces here
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to StringLength, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Parts[((Integer A) - 1)] = (Substring(Text, (Integer A), ((Integer A) + 10)))
    • Set StringCurrent = 0

• Text Scroll
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: Parts[StringCurrent]
    • Set StringCurrent = ((StringCurrent + 1) mod StringLength)

Replace the game - display with something less annoying...
Floating text would work.
Or some cell in a multiboard. (Make sure it's large enough, some 8% or so)
