Title: delay between talk
Post by: Diepvriezer on 13 Jan 2003, 19:25:19

Hi! I have a script like this:

; Women1 talk at start of map
women1 sidechat "1";
women1 sidechat "2";
women1 sidechat "3";
women1 sidechat "3";
women1 sidechat "4";
women1 sidechat "5";
women1 sidechat "6";
women1 sidechat "7";
women1 sidechat "8";
women1 sidechat "9";


But now she says everything at one time, so I need to put a delay of 3 seconds between every talk

How can I do this??? How to put a delay from  3 seconds between the talks?

~3
women1 sidechat "2";

women1 sidechat "7";

women1 sidechat "8";
~3
women1 sidechat "9";


You see, the ~x let's you create a delay of x seconds.

Just one more thinking; don't expect women1 to live
very long, if it's really only she, talking all the while  ;D

i dont know if this is what ur asking O Neil but if u mean women1 sidechat "1"; ~3 and so on listen up...


Women1=the person u want to talk (her name)
Sidechat "1"=tells her to talk on sidechat aka to the East,Civilian, or West side.

~3=delay for 3 seconds.

........your saying that you want a ladie to talk to someone on radio and then talk to them again 3 seconds later.........couldn't you just create a trigger with the activation feild of :      

                         Ladie sidechat "blah blah blah..."

and make another trigger to be activated 3 seconds later ?

yeah you could, but you'd end up with a lot of triggers if its a big conversation, its just easier in a little script so you can change things easy.
