Author Topic: Need help with Client/CenterPrint  (Read 670 times)

     I'm trying to give directions for new players on my server, but I don't have enough space to fit the first part of the tutorial. How do you make it where events will show some text for a certain amount of time and then another thing of text for a certain amount of time?

use two lines of events to do the centerprint
the box after the text is how long it will display in seconds, if you want each message to be displayed for 5 seconds, set it to a second longer
put the second message on the second event line, delayed by however long you want each message to be delayed for, in this case 5000, and set it to last for 5 seconds

the second event will overwrite the message being displayed, the longer duration on the first event is to prevent any flickering if it lags for a moment before getting to the second event

example:
[0] input > client > centerprint [message A] [6]
[5000] input > client > centerprint [message B] [6]
[10000] input > client > centerprint [message C] [5]

this will display message A for 5 seconds, then message B, then message C

I think you might be able to use <br> in centerprints to add new lines

the <br> tag will separate lines, but the centerprint box does have a length limit

the <br> tag will separate lines, but the centerprint box does have a length limit
