ThieveryTextTrigger
v1.0 - 6th July 2002 - Dalai

This trigger will send a text message out in a variety of styles, either to the person who triggered it, their whole team or everyone playing. The writing can be made to appear and disappear with a number of styles. The text will automatically wrap over lines and such. ThieveryTextTrigger can be found under Actor - Triggers - Trigger.
