How to clear message "window", i.e. a 'clearscreen' command for messages?

Hi all,

 

    I'm creating a mission where I display some info using the 'Message to all' Action.

 

Is there a way to clear the entire window? Currently, messages are added at the bottom, and when messages haven't yet timed out and too many messages have come in, the new messages don't appear, or (when messages have different timeout and different number of lines), exhibit some reaaaaaaly strange scrolling behaviour.

 

Since whenever I issue a new message, the old (currently displayed) info can be discarded, a clearscreen command that removes all currently displayed messages would solve all these issues. Can anyone give me a good hint on how I could accomplish this?

 

Thanks

Hi - yes you have an option you can tick on the message action, so displaying the new message erase the previous one. You have to tick it on every message that you want to erase previous displayed one.

Boy am I stupid!

 

Thank you so much! The fact that I managed to overlook the obvious for hours on end does worry me, though
