Text/Tips Triggers

[Sivert]

I want tips, or text coming up on one of the sides of the screen once a while telling different things..
I know what the tips are going to say, but not how to make them show up once a while. And the tips could also come in random order too

Thanks in advance!

set the tips into a string variable array. lets say you have 10 tips. then do

E - Map Initialization
A - Set tips_S[1] = <your question>

do that for every tip, going up by one on the variable array.
Then make this trigger

E - Every 45 seconds of game time
A - Game - Display tips_S[(Random Interger between 1 and <number of tips you have>)]

Events
 Map initialization
Actions
 Set tips_S[1] = The Black Phoenixes between the gates has an immolation of      
 30hp/s.

Thats could be one tip.. Do I make - lets say 10 more tips (actions) on this same trigger?

and could I add : |cffffcc00 to could the tip to be yellow?

Set tips_S[2] = BLAH BLAH
and replace the 2 with the next number.
Yes, you do it in the same trigger

Then:
E - Every X seconds
A - Display tips_S[(Random Interger between 1 and 10)]

In a new trigger ? Correct me if I'm wrong.

yes you need two triggers for what you want to do

I got this:

E - time - Every 45 seconds of game time

I couldn't find the display thing, where do I go ?
