Restricting event messages to side(s)

[Ironcladkitty]

Hi!

In a little scenario I'm making, I have 5 sides. Each of these 5 sides starts with its own 'intro', a short briefing/conversation between units.

Unfortunately, I cannot make it so that each side views only its own intro - all 5 intros are shown for all 5 players. How can I enforce the game to show Side 1 (and so on) the intro for Side 1 but do not display the intros for other sides?

I've tried using various filters, but nothing is working so far...

I don't know if it is possible or not, I've never tried, but [story] and [part] supposedly take filters, so it might be possible if you can determine the viewing side somehow.

What have you tried so far?

I think this should work for you: put this in the 'prestart' event:

Code: Select all

    [color_adjust]
        red=-512
        green=-512
        blue=-512
    [/color_adjust]

then make multiple messages, each with 'side_for=insert your side number here'. this approach will make images show at the bottom, though, instead of on the top.

D'oh, side_for= is just what I needed. Thanks for help guys!
