By text you mean cinematic transmissions
Make an integer variable that has a base value of <max number of players>. Then make periodic triggers that check every 3-5 seconds for every player, and sets the variable to its value -1 every time it doesn't detect a player. It should look like this:

Event
Every <?> seconds of game time.
Conditions
If (slot status of <Player 1 (red)>) is Not equal to Playing
Actions:
Set <your variable> = <your variable> - 1

Do this for every player.
Now, have an <For each integer A from 2 to <max number of players>.....> action, that does Wait for the same ammount of time as your transmission after each transmission. Make sure your transmission duration is "Set" seconds and not "Add"ed seconds. This way the game will wait longer for every player that is added to the game... or in other words, wait for each player.

Time - Every 3.00 seconds of game time

Set NumPlayer = (NumPlayers - 1)

----------------------------------------

Events

Cinematic - Send transmission to (All players) from Healer (Gavinrad 0004 <gen> named Gavinrad: Play No sound and display Sign Reads: Memorial up ahead Modify Duration: Set to 2.00 seconds and Wait
For each (Interer A) From 2 to NumPlayers, do (Wait 2.00 seconds)
Cinematic - Send transmission to (All players) from Healer (Gavinrad 0004 <gen> named Gavinrad: Play No sound and display Sign Reads: how will we get in? Modify Duration: Set to 2.00 seconds and Wait

This is just something i wrote up this is how i did it....
theres a long wait inbetween when he says <memorial up ahead> (THERES ABOUT A 5 SECOND WAIT HERE FOR NO REASON)) <How will we get in> its about a 5 second wait inbetween them with NO TEXT on the screen
