Its late and there is probably a simple answer to this. I'm on the final stages of my MP space sim, and i'm stuck on something. I'd like to have the chat and server messages scroll similar to Halo and many other games. Trying to think of a good way to do it without disrupting my loop which in turn can cause lag. I saw this post, that is pretty much what I want to do, but for some reason it won't work on my code, it just repeats the first string of text over and over again...besides I figure there has got to be an easier way to do it. I have a designated message area, so it doesn't matter if the text goes away or not, lets say I got 5 lines to work with, if a new message comes in, previous text scrolls up(1st message goes away into infinity) and the new message takes takes line 5. Hope that makes sense.
