example:

_first = "first"

_second = "second"

_third = "third"

_fourth = "fourth"

text = format ["%1 %2 %3 %4 %3 %2 %1",_first,_second,_third,_fourth]

will produce a box with the text:

first second third fourth third second first

hope that helps.

as long as all clients are running the same trigger the same way.

_player must be the same value on both machines. if so, then i'd say it will work.

It looks like problem with script calling. It shoud be something like :

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

[player,triggerName] exec "scriptName.sqs"

<span id='postcolor'>

and I think you doesn't understand format yet. Even your example works.

It shoud be :

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

titleText[FORMAT["%1: wins THA RACE", name _player], "PLAIN"]<span id='postcolor'>

In commas "  " is text that will be dislpayed. %1, %2 ... are substitutes that will be replaced by code after ""

%1 takes first thing after "" - that is name _player in your example.

And semi-colon ; is not needed at the end of each script line. Maybe it can be the problem.

Ok it works now

Code i use </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_player = _this select 0;

titleText[FORMAT["%1: wins THA RACE", name _player], "PLAIN"]

<span id='postcolor'>
