Does it need to be? I mean, if it's not on, it usually just sends a message in the bottom-left screen?

Make sure that the subtitles box is checked in the game options. Press F10 and then select options. Then select...well, I can't remember but game or something. One of the options will have a subtitles check box.

If this box isn't checked then cinimatic transmissions not done in cinimatic mode won't show up.

Replace the transmissions part with Game - Text message

Cinematic messages CAN be sent without cinematic mode being on too!

They can, but you won't be able to see them unless "subtitles" are enabled.

True, but who wouldn't have subtitles on?!? ;)

Well, KeMo might not. He tried to play a cinematic but got no text. If he wasn't in cinimatic mode and didn't have subtitles checked then this may be his problem.

Why would Blizzard even make a subtitles option? Oh well...

Well, if you have the subtitles on when you watch the blizzard movies while playing the campaign then you get really lame looking subtitles. I turned them off while I played the campaign. Aside from that, your right. There is no need for a yes or no subtitle box.

I've got subtitles on, and other cinematics work. It's only this If/then/else trigger that won't show the cinematics!

My problem could be solved bby making more triggers.
The function of the trigger in my map is to give a message to the players, about their current quest. So i could make multipe triggers like

player enters region

quest something is completed

send cinematic...

But it would be alot easier if the If/then/else trigger would work. Save alot of work in my current and future maps.
