Messages don't show up :( - mrscoomich - 04-19-2012

When I test it through the custom story list,
I have added this:

void OnStart()
{
AddTimer("", 1, "Msg");
}


void Msg(string &in asTimer)
{
StartEffectEmotionFlash("Fade", "First", "");
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "react_breath_slow.snt", "Player", 0, false);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "react_scare", "Player", 0, false);
}

**********

The bold letters above are the trouble I have. After the timer occurs, the screen does the white flash but the message does not show up.

Here is the .lang script:



"There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.[br][br] But I lived in the darkness."


How do you make it show up on the screen ?

There could be an error somewhere else on your .lang cause if theres one error the whole thing stops working

Try taking out the quotation marks that are between all the <Entry> </Entry> parts. That might be it, because quotations are unnecessary in text between entry markers.
