DotA Commands

bbfreak · Dec 6, 2008

How do you detect commands in any order / combo?

IE: arem, apemdu

and so on.......

Palaslayer · Dec 6, 2008

first, u dont have to do it with a combo, just dont use a player types a message containing and not
fitting exactly thing <- bad

for example

Dota command1
Events
- Player - A player types a message containing ap
Conditions
- <none> / or sth like elapsed time is smaller or equal to 60 seconds....
Actions
- <your actions here>

And make sure there isn't any combinations where the word can be formed accidentally...

Palaslayer · Dec 6, 2008

right, never thought of that, maybe sth like -ap

nobody would type this in accident, and it can only typed by host (player one in this case) remember that and that u have only a certain amount of time to pick a mode, so the chance to write it by accident is very small...

How do you get that event? I can't seem to make it "A Player" i can only make it "Player 1 (Red)" and things like that.

Palaslayer · Jan 19, 2009

oýou want player 1 (host) to do that, remember

Child_0f_Bodom · Jan 19, 2009

Hmm, in dota you can type a-pem and it will be recognized as a valid command. How is that possible, and how does it not create any bugs in longer modes?

Palaslayer · Jan 19, 2009

he makes one trigger that fires if something contains ap em ar or sth as exact thing and then checks which was typed, or?

Child_0f_Bodom · Jan 19, 2009

Kinda hard when your mode contains like 10 symbols plus that "-". :S

Palaslayer · Jan 19, 2009

- has to be enterd at the beginning thats all

SanKakU · Jan 19, 2009

well i think he just edits the events saying a player types -apem as a chat message and then he puts in more events like -emap and stuff...

he probably just throws the - in there after the first letter just in case the guy makes a typo. i don't think you'd be able to type ap-em and it work but who knows maybe he added that too.

Child_0f_Bodom · Jan 19, 2009

Hmm, that would be too complicated for longer modes...

SanKakU · Jan 19, 2009

well you can't combine many kinds of modes so maybe that's how he does it...

Igor_Z · Jan 19, 2009

Well -em sets the handicap of Player 1/Player 7 to lower than 100% and it is activated as soon as the ar/ap/sd/rd or whatever is activated +em. I think they made different trigger for em and if it is combinated with other modes i think it is something like this: First it activates the mode(Ex: ar,ap,rd etc...) Then if it is added -em to the mode it activates another trigger that has this event Time - Every 0.04 secs of game time and the actions that reduce the handicap are set bellow and turn off that trigger for removing the lag

You just use substrings.
Here is a poor written example.

And will you stop already trying to copy things from DotA? Geez, every second thread here has "oh I want to steal/copy stuff from DotA!!!!!!!", as if it's the best thing that happened in this world.

Blablabla
- Events
  - Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing - as A substring
- Conditions
- Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Length of (Entered chat string)) Greater than 3
    - Then - Actions
      - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        (Substring((Entered chat string), 1, 3)) Equal to bla
        
        Then - Actions
        
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        (Length of (Entered chat string)) Greater than or equal to 6
        
        Then - Actions
        
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        (Substring((Entered chat string), 4, 6)) Equal to lol
        
        Then - Actions
        
        -------- bla and lol activated --------
        
        Else - Actions
        
        Else - Actions
        
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        (Substring((Entered chat string), 4, 6)) Equal to nub
        
        Then - Actions
        
        -------- bla and nub activated --------
        
        Else - Actions
        
        Else - Actions
        
        -------- only bla activated --------
    - Else - Actions

oh yeah substrings, i remembered learning about those but haven't used them yet so i forgot about them.

oh and GhostWolf i'm pretty sure ppl would stop asking so many questions about how dota does this and/or that if the map could be opened in world edit.

chances are though that if that happened then it would be hard to get people to play the proper version of the game.

Dreadnought[dA] · Jan 20, 2009

Um, all you need to do is check that a - is at the front, and then just check for different substrings. With that way though, you have to make sure you can't make a combination with other commands.

Example, you can't have -ap, -em, and -pe because -apem creates pe
