im not sure if there is a way to change titletext or cuttext size or font but you can create resources to shove over the top

as for the typewriter - heard of it dunno where to get it either
search the forum, there may be posts

I havn't seen the typewriter effect you speak of personally but this script may produce something like the effect:

CutText["G","PLAIN"]
PlaySound "TypewriterKey"
~0.5
CutText["GO","PLAIN"]
PlaySound "TypewriterKey"
~0.5
CutText["GOO","PLAIN"]
PlaySound "TypewriterKey"
~0.5
CutText["GOOD","PLAIN"]
PlaySound "TypewriterKey"

You'll need to find such a sound yourself, and include it in your description.ext. Then you would play the sound each time you write a letter, via the "playsound" command. Actually, just like C0LDSt33L has in his script. Check out Bloodmixer's sound tut in the ed depot if you don't know how to put sounds in your mission.

For that you will need either a dialog, or a cut resource. They are pretty similar to make I think, but dialogs can be interactive. In your case a dialog might be easiest, because you can't change the text of a cut resource (so you would need to make one resource for each letter in the word).


There is a dialog tut by vectorboson in the ed depot. I don't know of any cutrsc tutorials. Once you figure out how to make dialogs, I'll send you a simple script I wrote for them that makes a typewriter effect.

You are lucky, I just finished a tutorial about that subject!
Take a look in the editor depot - pending
