| 04:00.05 | Rhavon | Anyone know of a great tutorial for transmissions and creating intros? What I have in mind is pretty simple I think but I'm struggling to figure it out. |

| 05:36.44 | Rhavon | quick question about intros if anyone has a sec |
| 05:37.55 | Rhavon | I'm doing a cinematic intro but I'm going to use scroll text I guess instead of sound for the briefing. having issues with displaying it properly or the whole text and getting that annoying typing sound to stop |

| 06:50.24 | Julk | hey is there anyone here who could help me really quick? |
| 06:57.37 | Rhavon | whats up? |
| 06:58.03 | Rhavon | I don't know a lot compared to most of the guys in here. Pretty new myself but I'll give it a shot |
| 06:58.37 | Julk | well |
| 06:58.51 | Julk | i have a problem with my mineral drops |
| 06:59.05 | Julk | whenever a unit dies, a mineral patch drops |
| 06:59.22 | Julk | i have it all working, just have some problems with actors |
| 06:59.46 | Rhavon | so whats happening |
| 07:00.14 | Julk | first off, i'm trying to make a grayscale model that shows up for players who can't pick up that specific mineral drop |
| 07:01.06 | Rhavon | and you can't get it to grayscale for the players not allowed? |
| 07:01.15 | Julk | exactly |
| 07:01.51 | Rhavon | wish my friend was on. He's really good with models :/ |
| 07:02.41 | Rhavon | you can make the greyscale model though. it just won't appear the greyscale version for the non allowed players if I'm understanding you right |
| 07:02.58 | Julk | okay... |
| 07:03.32 | Rhavon | there was supposed to be a question mark at the end of the first sentence |
| 07:04.15 | Rhavon | Have you tried adjusting which one shows up in the trigger module? |
| 07:04.20 | Julk | no, that's my problem |
| 07:04.55 | Rhavon | unit dies < if then else statement |
| 07:05.45 | Rhavon | so you want only the killing player to be able to run over the resources? |
| 07:06.06 | Julk | yes |
| 07:06.10 | Rhavon | You know there is the Kill Resource option on each minion you can adjust for killing right? :) |
| 07:06.40 | Rhavon | you just want a more exciting (you have to run over the minerals to pick it up) option |
| 07:06.44 | Rhavon | ? |
| 07:07.12 | Julk | yeah |
| 07:07.20 | Julk | as not to make it op |
| 07:08.41 | Rhavon | So if you want the greyscale version to show for only the killing player the trigger would be something like a comparison. If player != killing player then show model blah. |
| 07:09.13 | Julk | no, i use the data editor |
| 07:09.33 | Julk | and greyscale shows for the OTHER players, the killing player sees blue |
| 07:10.23 | Rhavon | thats what I'm saying. I think you have to write a trigger to show different models to different players. Killing player sees blue, everyone else sees greyscale |
| 07:11.04 | Rhavon | so an if then else with a comparison of the players upon unit death |
| 07:11.55 | Julk | i already got it to show differently for the different players accordingly |
| 07:12.00 | Julk | my problem is GRAYSCALE |
| 07:12.02 | Julk | lol |
| 07:14.16 | Rhavon | oh.. idk hopefully someone will be able to help you. I just sit in this channel and ask questions all day myself. |
| 07:15.37 | Julk | lol |
| 07:15.45 | Julk | you hyped for rock the cabinet? |
| 07:19.53 | Rhavon | I think its gonna be interesting. I'm just working on making a survival map |
| 07:20.16 | Rhavon | Something simple. Trying to learn how to do intro cinematics now. |
| 07:23.08 | Julk | i'm making full on hide and seek in sc2 |
| 07:23.17 | Julk | called runaway piclings |
| 07:24.28 | Julk | i hope to at least get top 10 |
| 07:24.59 | Rhavon | That would be awesome :) |
| 07:25.05 | Julk | ikr? |
| 07:25.14 | Julk | would you like to try it out? |
| 07:30.09 | Rhavon | sure |
| 07:30.26 | Rhavon | sorry I'm slow in responding. I'm really trying to figure out how to make my intro into my game. |
| 07:30.46 | Julk | i can help you with that after we play |
| 07:30.54 | Julk | i've made cinematics before |
| 07:30.55 | Rhavon | I'm trying to get the damn text to display like I want lol |
| 07:30.59 | Rhavon | sounds good to me |
| 07:31.05 | Julk | okay |
| 07:31.18 | Julk | what's your username and battletag? |
| 07:31.26 | Rhavon | Rhavon |
| 07:31.55 | Julk | battletag? |
| 07:32.02 | Rhavon | getting in now |

| 08:33.53 | DeadZergling | hey ArcanePariah , so didn't get what you were saying in your reply, if my reply wasn't obvious enough |
| 08:36.25 | ArcanePariah | Hey DeadZergling |
| 08:38.06 | DeadZergling | Hi ArcanePariah , so is what I'm wanting to do even possible without dummy units? |
| 08:38.09 | ArcanePariah | Ok, here is the basic idea. You use one create Persistent, with an intial offset (Say, (3,-5), so it is forward and to the left. For the intial effect, you run another persisten, with its location being the target point, which means it will be located at the offset position. Then this second persistent has periodic effects doing the line thing, with caster as the source and target point being the impact, so the line goes fr |
| 08:39.03 | ArcanePariah | Gimme a few minutes to rig up an example, I'll change Raynors snipe to what you want, and I'll send you that as as dummy map, sound good? |
| 08:39.05 | DeadZergling | and that will effectively change the angle of the damage effect? |
| 08:39.30 | DeadZergling | yea it does, I 'think' I get what you are saying |
| 08:40.25 | DeadZergling | lets say, -14 and 7? |

| 09:00.57 | Rhavon | poll question: What method does everyone use to display game text to players. For example in an opening scene. |
| 09:01.44 | DeadZergling | display text, a dialog, or a text tag |
| 09:02.14 | DeadZergling | a dialog might be the best for opening scene, it looks the best imo |
| 09:03.32 | A1win | creep tumors |
| 09:03.39 | Rhavon | lolz |
| 09:04.53 | Rhavon | I was trying the scrolling text and cinematic text. I'm gonna use the cinematic text just to say the planet and location. The mission briefing was in scrolling text but I can't get the damn thing to work right |
| 09:05.27 | A1win | Make your own scroller using dialogs |
| 09:06.22 | A1win | (Everything on the UI is done using dialogs anyway, some of it is just automated and wrapped into native functions) |
| 09:06.43 | Rhavon | okay |
| 10:21.31 | Rhavon | all of these camera action.. wheres the one that just cuts to camera blah |
| 10:29.15 | DeadZergling | back to the drawing board apparently ArcanePariah , I can't get that to work for anything |
| 10:52.51 | Rhavon | boooo not working |
| 10:53.58 | Rhavon | dialog text is clipping. weaksauce |
| 11:21.11 | DeadZergling | oh well, will figure it out later, the other ability was obviously working, just have to figure out how to make it do the same for my setup. |

| 16:19.23 | Rhavon | well hello there |
| 16:19.43 | Delphinium | Hi, this is a little frog |
| 16:19.49 | Rhavon | I have a simple question if ya got a minute |
| 16:20.28 | Delphinium | I am not sure if I know the answer, I am not good at the editor itself. |
| 16:20.55 | Rhavon | I'm trying to find the most efficient way to move a group of civilians who spawn at a building to a transport close by and have them count to my objective |
| 16:21.09 | Rhavon | ah I gotcha. |
| 16:21.55 | Rhavon | I was gonna use the suggest order but it returns a string where I thought I would be able to order the civilians |
| 16:23.42 | Delphinium | I guess you can have a try with "unit group", I remember Renee said similar things before. |
| 16:23.53 | Delphinium | @@ Sorry I am weak on this. |
| 16:26.06 | Rhavon | no worries |
| 16:26.32 | Delphinium | http://puu.sh/ju0Gu/7792c38315.gif |
| 16:26.38 | Rhavon | I think I can figure something out. I just think its going to be woefully overdone |
| 16:27.01 | Delphinium | http://puu.sh/jtJPN/78fdb8f143.gif just made two new test model/scenes |
| 16:27.27 | Rhavon | Well done! Looks awesome |
| 16:27.40 | Delphinium | thanks~ |
| 16:27.42 | Rhavon | That turret view is great |
| 16:28.25 | Rhavon | almost makes me wish there was a siege tank view, where you drive around a battlefield as a tank pilot laying waste lol |
| 16:28.26 | Delphinium | I used a physcal simulation inside. |
| 16:29.04 | Rhavon | yeah I have no idea how to do stuff like that yet. Way over my head. I'm still working on telling units to go from point a to b and count them lol |
| 16:29.27 | Delphinium | yep, I also remade the storymode siege tank, should be OK with this UI system too 0.0 |
| 16:30.53 | Rhavon | Nice! |
| 16:31.14 | Rhavon | I'm pretty proud that I figured out a good intro into my arcade survival. its not perfect but it works |
| 16:31.26 | Delphinium | need some time later to release that although |
| 16:32.01 | Delphinium | my employer wants to keep them more time... |
