Display Text to ALL in MP

[1para{god-father} 105]

In a MP game when I use a trigger and then effects and text it only displays on 1 persons screen not everyone’s ?

What I need to do is from a trigger is display to everyone at the same time some text how would I do that ?

Thanks

Place the functions module on the map. Then add this to whatever you want:

[nil, nil, rTITLETEXT, "TEXT TO SHOW", "PLAIN", 0] call RE;

There you go, that will make text appear for everyone. For more info on the MP framework go here.

Once I have the Function module on the map I can just use that code.

So instead of using Hint "hello"; I would use [nil, nil, rTITLETEXT, "Hello", "PLAIN", 0] call RE;

also would this work in my trigger when i complete a task ?

"1" objStatus "DONE"; tskobj_1 setTaskState "SUCCEEDED"; player setCurrentTask tskobj_2; obj_1 = true; publicVariable "obj_1";

Many thanks

"1" objStatus "DONE"

This is an obsolete command that does nothing. There is no need to ever use it in ArmA 2/OA.

To use a hint would be:

[nil, nil, rHINT, "My Text Here."] call RE;

Can i ask what the first 2 parameters are for ? [nil,nil, ?

Also I did use this and it did display to all who was in the game i set the trigger to once , but i received the message about 10 times flashing very quickly on the screen , 10 players where connected so do I have to do anything else ?

Many thanks - sorry first MP game for me !

Hi,

Yes, you have to run that command in one machine only, for example the server.

if (isServer) then
{
  [nil, nil, rHINT, "My Text Here."] call RE;
};

Thanks, but i am a little confused.

All I need is a hint - "Alarm has been sent" when Bluefor enter my trigger - how would I display that to everyone in a MP game

when i say MP game I mean COOP with 10 players.

Can you give me an example so i know for future

Thanks
