Hi everyone, i have two separate questions that concern the staredit:
First: In the original Blizzard SC Campaigns there are those black tables between missions with a green text that tells the progress of the story.
Is there a way to do that in the editor(with a tool or something)? THX
Second: I saw in the SC campaigns and even in some custom made maps Ghost that nuke a specific zone or Arbiter that "recall" to a specific point.
How i can do that with staredit? I don't see anywhere a trigger with "order ghost to nuke" or "order arbiter to recall". Anyone knows? THX

To do the mission briefings, open up StarEdit and go to
Scenario>Mission Briefings
or you could just press Ctrl+Shift+B
For your second question, you'll need a more advanced editor to do those AI scripts. I'd recommend StarCraft Extra X-tra editor, because you seem new at map making. you can find it here @ http://www.starcraft.org/downloads/MappingDownloads/
Remember, for the AI to nuke someone, it has to be allied to everyone when it is nuking someone. You'll find the AI scripts in the Actions place (Run Al Script @ location)

I'm not meaning BRIEFINGS. That's my better part in editing ;)
I was meaning this: for example after the third original campaign Protoss scenario(the "Higher ground" named), you see a black screen with green text(green, not gray as it's the briefing one). Understood what i mean?
I want to know if exists a way to put these talescreens so that i can explain more to the player who plays my maps.
Remember, for the AI to nuke someone, it has to be allied to everyone when it is nuking someone. You'll find the AI scripts in the Actions place (Run Al Script @ location)
do you mean that EVERY player has to be "set playerx to allied" toward the player that is using the ghost, so that no one can shoot him at sight?

I think he means the story part which is told before the missions.
The all black screen with green text telling you about whats going on.
About the nuking, there is even a tutorial on starcraft.org

oh. i dont think you can do that, unless you directly edit the menu campaigns. if i were you, i wouldnt advise that, i dont see alot of people doing it.
if it were anyway possible, i would do it too xD
