Message Box Limits

Post » Mon Nov 19, 2012 5:56 am

Does anyone know the limits of the Message Box item? Because the last line of the message I want to display won't appear, and every time I remove what doesn't show, the part before that won't appear either...

The limit of buttons per MESG form is 10 (buttons 0-9). If you need more buttons, make a multi-level http://www.creationkit.com/Options_Menu.

Ah, no, I think I may have been misunderstood; I'm making an activator, that, when used, will display a Message Box...

The problem is, I can't get all of my text to appear, so I'm wondering if there is a limit on their size, because I'm trying many different things and getting bizarre results...

You mean the text in the description field or buttons not being visible? Both can and will happen if the text is too verbose.

I'm speaking of the text in the Description Field; and as for the text being too long, that's what I gathered, but when I removed the piece that wasn't showing, the next section above it decided not to show either...

It must have to do with Quotation Marks, because if I end the description without them, that piece won't show, and will remove it all the way back to the last Marks I used...

New problem; I want to make a Door setup similar to the portal that takes you to Sanguine's Grove in the quest A Night To Remember...you know, the big white glowing one...

Problem is, no matter how I try and set it up, it still won't work, I even copied and pasted all the pieces necessary into my own cell, and that didn't even work; does anyone know how to set it up? It doesn't even have to be triggered by an activator, just always active from the time the cell loads...

The door and light aren't a problem, it's the special effect; I'm pretty sure the item in question is "FXDA14PortalDoor"...

Sorry for the shameless bump, but I really do need help with this; all I need is to make the Effect item perform it's animation so it's visible, so I guess all I really need is the right script...

Surely someone knows it...
