Cod4 Compile - Text

[A5H73Y]

For instance, If a player has finished my map..
How do i make text come on screen saying you have completed the map?
Ive seen it done in like everymap i just dont know how :L

You have 2 options:
- Option 1 is to use a trigger_use with a hintstring (this creates the text that moves from side to side in the middle of the screen.)
- Option 2 is to do it with scripting, which is more complicated (although not complicated in itself) and looks more professional.

Your choice of which to use (I won't bother helping further until I know which you want.)

i know 2 ways:

1:create a trigger-->press N-->key:hintstring-->value:ur text


2:with script

Code: Select all

main()
{
thread finishmap();
}
 
finishmap()
{
trigger = getent("finishmap","targetname");
 
   while (1)
   {
      trigger waittill ("trigger", user );
      if ( isPlayer( user ) && isAlive( user ) && isdefined( user.done) ) 
               {
               wait 0.5;
               }
      else  
         {
user iprintlnbold ("Congratulations, " + user.name + ", you have completed the map!");   
         user.done = true; 
         }
   }
}
