$Message:

  • Or $MessageNew:
  • Defines the message shown in game screen when the message is triggered. Value is a reference to tstrings.tbl.
  • The use of $MessageNew: instead of older $Message: is recommended.

+Persona:

  • Defines the persona associated with the message
  • Syntax: String


+AVI Name:

  • Sets the ANI file that is played when the message is triggered.
  • Syntax: String
  • In contrast to FREDded messages, the game does not attempt to use the file <string>.ani in a persona message. Instead, it picks one of <string>a.ani, <string>b.ani and <string>c.ani each time. So if you have defined +Avi Name: Head-Joe, the game will attempt to use the files Head-Joea.ani, Head-Joeb.ani and Head-Joec.ani. For wingmen personas, the c variant is assumed to be a death animation.

+Wave Name:

  • Sets the sounds file that is played when the message is triggered
  • Syntax: String
