game_text entity does not work as intend Created 7 years ago2017-04-27 09:46:56 UTC by abbadon

Hi, recently I have noticed a little problem with this entity. I have to say that I have read all posts related to this entity here At TWHL, and tried all the solutions:
-Removing the entity after being fired.
-Tried all 4 available channels.
-Fired the entity through several methods (trigger auto, trigger once, using a separate multimanager, func button.).

Nothing worked. What I did is make a text appear (first of two) then several entities are fired through a multimanager including other game_text entities (10, making a countdown be shown on screen), all worked fine, but when the second game_text has to appear it simply don't show, but the last events continue to happen normally.

Any suggestions?, altough not fully necessary, I like this message to appear because it is one of the pieces of the Game Over kinematic.

Thanks in anticipación.

What are the settings for the game_text in question?

Maybe you need to increase the delay before the next game_text is triggered.

Could you post screenshots of your entity properties?

Of course:

This is the multimanager set up:

And this is the game_text set up:

I must say that al the game_text of the countdown worked fine most of the times, but sometimes (this is an exaple) a number disappear so you can see the countdown show the 10,9,8 and then the 7 disappear just to continue normally in the 6,5,4, then the 3 disappear again to continue normally in the 2 and the 1.

This is the set up for those game_texts (I use the targetnamed as "10" as a example):

I repeat that it is not indispensable, but the GameOVer kinematic will look better with it working right.

Your fade in, fade out, and hold times all add up to exactly 1 second. Perhaps drop the fade out time to .2 s to allow for some time between the texts?

Also what editor is that? Looks foreign to me haha

Ok. I'll try that The editor is Quark (QUakeARmyKnife). It is the best editor I did try, The only problem is that it does not show models like Hammer
..

Well. That also does not work... Maybe it´s another GS bug.
