Game text question

Is there a custom script call to centerize game text, cause there doesn't seem to be a effective one in the GUI.

thanks in advance

DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(toPlayer,x,y,duration,message) with x,y = 0.5 or so. But... well you have to see for yourself.

hmm, I am not the expert with jass, so a little more help would come in handy, so far I got


but this does not work, it gives me an error

Not sure, weather it was allowed to display the array like that in custom script

1. I don't see the y value

2. you meant Player(1)

not sure what the X and Y represent compared to where it will appear on the screen, so could someone explain that to me.

the custom script now looks like this but apperently I did something wrong cause I still have a script error.

Note a problem with that function though, when you call it, it will center all previous game text to that location as well. So if you some other game text on the screen, it will move too.

- JASS is case sensitive
- You're probably Player(0)
If you want to broadcast the message, use "GetLocalPlayer()"
- 0,0 is lower left, 1,1 is upper right

harshateja: that won't be a problem.

PipeDream: I checked the case sensitivities but I can't find a problem with that, I also replaced player(1) with player(0), but that did not seem to reslove it.

Player

Emphasis on the capital 'P' in case you were wondering. :P

Yea, just try


If that dosent work then its your variables that are making a problem

EDIT:
Unless 'textnumber' is a custom global or a local, that will cause errors, it needs to be udg_.
So if its not custom global or local, use:

Well I did it with a bunch of spaces

That is incorrect. I tested a while ago and ended up with about 2 for upper right, but I hear it varies depending on resolution.

Pfff... I got the sign and order of magnitude.

well capatalizing the (p) from player(0) did not remove the error either.

the script now looks like this

and the [textnumber] is an array that I use a interger to increase.
