Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone could direct me to a tutorial on adding text that scrolls up the screen, like the credits do at the end of d40 "The Maw". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The credits from the original Halo are in the UI map file and can't be mimicked.
You can either do these things: -Create a scenery object with your text on it. Create a camera point at the top and bottom. Then just script it going up.
-Create a scenery object with the text animated on the object. So in other words the text just auto-rolls on the scenery object. The only thing about this is that there's no way to control when it starts

Probably the same way a waterfall is done or something like it. Or he had a bitmap scrolling across the screen. As in a piece of scenery with a transparent texture and no collision model or something to that effect.

These are all very good suggestions, but I need the credits to be tied to the screen, since I will be moving the camera around the map.
