Wait function after Cinematic speech not working like i want

As far as I know the Wait command built into the cinematic transmissions from units still doesn't work in multiplayer mode so I do it like this:

1) Transmission from unit
2) Wait x seconds.

Problem is, anytime I have to wait longer than something like 8 or 9 seconds, the text disappears before the seconds are up. I could just display it twice i guess using 4 second pauses or whatever i need to do, but does anyone know of a way to get it to work without this kind of crappy workaround?

i believe there is something like "transmission from a unit (auto-timed) and transmission blabla (explicitly timed) or self timed"

so u use that "transmission from peasant over 8 seconds saying "text here" ...

I'm talking about the cinematics, your thinking of the messages that appear at the bottom, kinda like Quest messages etc..

Thanks though.

no, i really think there is such a thing for a transmission.....
i may be wrong tho, i rarely use cinematics.... (90% wrong that is) :)

Your thinking of:

Game - Text message to Player (Auto Timed)
Game - Text message to Player (Explicitly Timed)
Game - Text message to Force (Auto Timed)
Game - Text message to Force (Explicitly Timed)

These don't help me though.
