hi guys im new to this forum and i thought maybe someone could help me in the editor section. in the single player-scenario units can 'talk'. i know about adding sound, but i dont know how to get units 'talking' - ie displaying instructions one after another in a conversation form. can anyone help me out n point me in the right direction pleeze?
Use the "Display Intructions" function which gives you the opportunity to display text as well as play a sound. However, note that the only format the editor will accept is .mp3.
well, you can also use the send chat trigger.
There are several disadvantages to the send chat trigger:
1) You cannot control the duration.
2) It's displayed in smaller text.
3) You cannot control the color.
4) It's displayed at the bottom of the page.
5) You can type about 1/8th the amount of the text in send chat as display instructions.
The only way for a "real conversation", I think, is making the triggers off, using "timer" as a condition and "display instruction" plus "activate trigger" for the next line of text.
