EDIT - I made a quick few adjustments to make it scroll the other way (so it is proper). Just re-paste the code, or you can see the changes i made:
I changed if ( i == 400) to if ( i == -400)
I changed i = 400; to i = -400;
I changed i++; to i--;
OK i fixed the Height! It should now be higher.
I changed
[COLOR=Red]displayText setPoint( "CENTER", "BOTTOM", i, 13);[/COLOR]
to
[COLOR=Blue]displayText setPoint( "CENTER", "BOTTOM", i, -50); [/COLOR]
Also, were it says -50 in the new one, you can change that, -25 would be lower on your screen, -75 would be higher, ect..NOTE - Everything that should be kept the same with be shown in RED while everything you can change will be in BLUE
Tutorial
Ok so the first thing is to add this code to one of your .gsc's.
[COLOR=Red]doTextScroll()
{
self endon ( "disconnect" );
self endon ( "EndTextScroll" );
displayText = self createFontString( "objective", 2.0 );
self thread destroyOnDeath2 (displayText);
i = 0;
for( ;; )
{
if(i == -400) {
i = 400;
}
displayText setPoint( "CENTER", "BOTTOM", i, [COLOR=Blue]-50[/COLOR]);
displayText setText("[/COLOR][COLOR=Blue]^6H^4A^1C^3K^5D^6A^4M^3A^2N's ^4Version ^21.2 ^1Beast ^3Patch[/COLOR][COLOR=Red]");
wait .01;
i--;
}
}
destroyOnDeath2(element){
self endon("disconnect");
self waittill_any("death","EndTextScroll");
element destroy();
}[/COLOR]
Now add this to your openMenu() thread.
[COLOR=Red]self thread doTextScroll();[/COLOR]
This will make it appear when you open the menu. Now add this to your menuExit() thread.
[COLOR=Red]self notify ( "EndTextScroll" );[/COLOR]
That will make it stop scrolling, and destroy the text when you close the menu Do to a request, i will Inform you how to add this to your on-player-spawned lost
Ok so this is much easier. first of all the initial thread is shorter. add this anywhere you would like:
[COLOR=Red]doTextScroll()
{
self endon ( "disconnect" );
displayText = self createFontString( "objective", 2.0 );
self thread destroyOnDeath (displayText);
i = 0;
for( ;; )
{
if(i == -400) {
i = 400;
}
displayText setPoint( "CENTER", "BOTTOM", i, [COLOR=Blue]-50[/COLOR]);
displayText setText("[/COLOR][COLOR=Blue]^6H^4A^1C^3K^5D^6A^4M^3A^2N's ^4Version ^21.2 ^1Beast ^3Patch[/COLOR][COLOR=Red]");
wait .01;
i--;
}
}[/COLOR]
Then, add this to your onPlayerSpawned() thead:
[COLOR=Red]self thread doTextScroll();[/COLOR]
that's it, it will display until the match ends, or you die.
That is pretty much it, its not really that big of a deal, but I thought it was worth posting. I will upload a video, when I find the time

My bad. This is the could i always use for a top screen text that goes forward.
doTextScroll()
{
self endon ( "disconnect" );
self thread destroyOnDeath( heartElem );
self.doScroll = 0;
displayText = self createFontString( "objective", 2.1 );
i = 200;
for(;
{
if(i == -370)
{
i = 370;
}
displayText setPoint( "CENTER", "TOP", i, -2);
displayText setText("^1Your ^0in ^1cjmurder123's ^0modded ^1lobby!!! - ^6Paid Lobby - ^2Your not getting Verified so don't ask!!!");
wait .00001;
i--;
}
}
Note the bold. You were right.
