Guest | Cinematic messages are strange -- Cinematic -- Message from <unit> of text <BLAH BLAH BLAH> and Set To/Add/Subtract <number> and WAIT/DON'T WAIT The Set To/Add/Subract figure tells you how you want to set the duration. It's not very intuitive -- it works like this: The default duration is something like 5.00 seconds. If you pick Set To, you are ignoring the 5.00 seconds and specifying exactly how many seconds you want it to display. If you pick Add, then you are adding that many seconds to 5.00. If you pick Subtract, you are taking away that many seconds from the default of 5.00. I don't know why anyone would want to use Add or Subtract. I always use Set To and enter how many seconds I feel is sufficient for the message. Then I select DON'T WAIT. You select Don't Wait because if you pick Wait it only waits for the default 5.00 seconds. Again, not very intuitive. Finally place a seperate Wait statement after the Cinematic statement, and match the number of seconds you set the message to. AV |
