Ok I know I have seen this before, but I looked and can't find it anywhere. How do you put text on the screen like " map by so and so" when the map first starts.
Thanks guys

Got the game_text entity , set it up except the last part where it says MASTER. This is what it tells me: Legacy support: The name of a master entity. If the master hasn't been activated, this entity will not activate.
I think the master entity would be logic_auto
I have this set to OnMapStart but the first part says If set, this specifies a global state to check before firing. The OnMapSpawn output will only fire if the global state is set.
So this part gets me, it is asking for a Global State to Read . Is this where I put in game_text?
The output of the logic_auto is OnMapSpawn/ Text1/Display Fire only once checked.
I am missing something here....

But this will only show to those who were on the server at map start. What if someone joins after say 5 mins of the map running, they won't see anything then. We need a on_new_player_spawn command. ;)

true, you can always have it display ever 5 minutes or 10 minutes so that you will be sure that everybody will see it at least once.

I think I found the problem, in HL2DM, you spawn directly into the action. With DOD you goto the selection screen first. I believe during that time is when it is displayed and therefore no one sees it.
So I will try this or maybe a brush at the spawn points with a trigger.
