How Do I Open/Close Gate using...

[Raszagal]

Hi, I've noticed on some of the custom campaigns that I've played on battle.net that you can open/or close a gate by just typing for example, -close or -open
So now I'm making myself a map and I want to know how you can do just that!

like where in the Trigger Editor do I have to go to do that?
any help is appreciated and thank you VERY MUCH in advanced!

Hi , Welcome to THW !

ha thats funny because u nearly said it
Just create a simple trigger
Event : A Player writes a Text message Containing "-Open"
Action : Open GateX

 

[Raszagal]

Thanks again!

-JonNny, you're correct!

Raszagal, you may introduce yourself to the Hive Workshop Community here if you wish to do so.
Happy mapping!

If you can't find the exact triggers:

Event: Player #(Color) types a message message matching "-open" as an exact match.
Action: Open Gate Gate###

You'll need to select the gate, and if you want LoaP type things where only an owner can get in, then it'll be much more complicated.

Then just add/subtract gates to the if/then/elses each one of these could aternatively be in a seperate trigger though, or you could make a trigger for each gate you have then check if the player owns the COP by it. There are a ton of ways do this, some simpler then others.

That's one hell of a long trigger that could easily be loop-able...

Events: Same as Gost's
Conditions: none
Actions:
Loop - For each Integer A from 1 to 12 do:
If (Triggering Player) equal to Player [Integer A] // Convert player index to integer
Then: open Gate [Integer A]
Else: Do nothing

Gate [Integer] is a Destructible variable with an array of 12. Each gate should be added to the destructible variable at map initialization...

(I like to keep it short...)

 

[Fenrik]

Better yet, use "Pick every player in (players) and do actions"

 

[PurplePoot]

A loop is a better idea than a player group in a ton of cases, actually

 

[Gost]

Yea true i could have done the for each interger A and d that be the player number.
