Text thing

[Tristian]

In the Grand Prixx map, when you choose your vechile it gives a summary of it and the rider, how can i do that and have it consume the whole screen?

The text just flows up the screen and fades away when it hits a certain point.

Um so... are you editing your post?

 

[Tristian]

yes, just did. Srry bout that accidently hit enter

 

[Rad]

Not sure what you mean havent played that but twice. Sounds like floating text, use the fading age to make it "float up and fade out". You still need to set a lifespan so it disappears and also make sure its not permanent (or it wont fade correctly)

 

[Tristian]

thanks, i wil ltry that.

 

[Tristian]

well, i tried it, didn't work for some reason.

Text Start
    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
    Conditions
    Actions
        Cinematic - Fade out over 0.00 seconds using texture Black Mask and color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) with 0.00% transparency
        Floating Text - Create floating text that reads   January 3rd, 1952... at (Target of current camera view) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 12.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
        Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 64.00 towards 90.00 degrees
        Floating Text - Change permanent state of (Last created floating text) to Disable
        Floating Text - Show (Last created floating text) for (All players)

Don't laugh because i hate floating text, you can never postion it right. Thats one of the tings i need help with. How can i get it to stay in the middle of the screen and flow up and stay in the same area on the screen.

Fade filters will cover up floating text

 

[Tristian]

y dont u use

Game - Display to (All players) the text: ...

and

Cinematic - Fade out and back in over 2.00 seconds using texture White Mask and color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) with 0.00% transparency

will not affect the result

Doesnt sound like a game message to me...

 

[Tristian]

I agree, and the floating text actions include a action that makes the text move in a certian direction with a speed that you specify so floating text i think is the one. Just gotta test it out.

That will display it to all players... thats why he doesnt use it

 

[zyzfcs]

he could change All players = Picked player

Grawr! But it's sooo easy changing it to a single player, simply use "convert player to a player group" or what it's called.
