Alright,

sorry bout this...
my problem(one of them)is that after creating a .hsi file...writing a v.basic text box script,compile it,put it in game etc,no text appears in the box,though the box is there.

include, plotscr.hsd
include, dark.hsi

define script (1,welcome traveller,none)

script, welcome traveller, begin
show text box (1)
wait for text box
end

p.s.thx for the reply but adding wait for text box doesnt solve the missing text?

Is there text in the box in Custom? You might have started on text box #2 in the editor. Double-check that and tell us what happens.

thx JSH357...in the editer its set to text box 1(in the edit text box menu),i can read text if i type it directly into the box then go back and look at it,but i am putting the "lalala traveller" text script into the special game scripts...new game option after compiling it with hssed,i'v heard the special game scripts buggy(or was),anyway,i doubt its the reason,is there another option i have to 'turn on' in 'EDIT TEXT BOX' like the next script line!?!?
(lost)...THX

Weird. Try using text box #2 instead and seeing what happens. I think you're not supposed to use text box #0, but I'm not sure about #1.

Can you post the number of the text box that contains the text, the code that's being used to call the text box, and the list of the conditionals for that text box.

Another thing you might try is adding the command "show value(0)" right before the end statement in your script. If, after you spacebar past the textbox, the number 0 doesn't appear in the lower left-hand corner of the screen, we'll know the script isn't being called properly.

please post a copy of your RPG file. You may have found a bug of some kind. I want to see if I can reproduce this problem on my own computer.
