theres a function to generate "TickerText", thats what its called in german, dont know if its called the same in english, but what it does, is create a text effect, where the text appears letter by letter (like written on a typewriter) and it also lets you set a sound for every letter, so you can set a typewriter-type-sound to make it a really cool effect.
The one big problem with this is, the text appears exactly over the minimap in the left bottom corner, id rather have it in the center of the screen or something.
Does anybody know if theres a way to change the position of the tickertext ??
It's called "text crawl" and you can't change anything about it. Font? No. Color? No. Position? Hell no :]
It's only supposed to be used in cinematic mode, with the UI hidden (including the minimap :P).
You could mimic the effect using dialogs, but not 100% (no blinking cursor, that green glow or the fading effect).
Step 1: Create a dialog with a label. Hide the background if you want it invisible
Step 2: Create a periodic effect for every 1 second that changes the label. I'll upload a map showing what I mean.

I create a function that I just pass string arguments to that handles the rest to make the ticker text... even plays a clicking sound while it does it...
But yeah, just updated my attachment. It now has font and style support. No blinking cursor or sound yet however, although that wouldn't be hard to add.
Im talking about the text write out that I use in my map "Infinite TD" on Usa I use a bunch of it right at the start of the game..... if thats not what your talking about I have no idea

Edit: Updated to support fonts and colours.

All I got is this:
@Tolkfan: Go
That was because you were using text. Have a look at how I did mine. You can easily add colour to it :D
@Tolkfan: Go
are you using text variables?
Its been awhile since I did it myself...

I can post the code later if you guys like.
@SouLCarveRR: Go
Sound? now I have to update mine again xD.

Ummm.... are we talking about the built-in, native, blizzard-made function/action called "Show Text Crawl"? Because that's what the OP was about...
