[Trigger] player name change

[zero_ZX]

Hey!

guys/girls, how do i make a trigger that will be like

event: player 1 (red) is typing a chat msg equal to setname (string)

conditions: [no conditions]

action: set name of player 1 (red) to (string)

is this possible, if yes how to?

*cheers* zero

I'm pretty sure you just answered your own question.

You use substings. "Set Player Name = ((Substring) entered chat string) 7, 22)"

You start the substring at 7 because generally you have the command "-name (Desired Name)," thus, the 7th letter is where you want to start. 22 is just a random number, you can set it to whatever. (I suggest less than 17, because it's not too long.)

Other than that, it should be pretty obvious.

sry dude, didnt understanded much of that lol ^.^

can you explain a little more please?

 

[paskovich]

the action is under 'Player'. - > Set Player Name

substring is a part of a string... the two numbers mean the place of the first caracter of the substring, the second is the end.

Take the example "paskovich"
Substring("paskovich", 3, 7) == "skovi"
Ouch, are the numbers correct? I was always messing with them when working with substrings... :S

so i will add a command like:

event: play chat msg - -setname (substring 3, 7)

action: player - set name (substring 3, 7)


but what im supposed to type instead of substring?

I think this is the trigger you are looking for:

• SetPlayerName
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing setname as A substring
  • Conditions
    • (Substring((Entered chat string), 1, 7)) Equal to setname
  • Actions
    • Player - Set name of (Triggering player) to (Substring((Entered chat string), 8, (Length of (Entered chat string))))

you might want to use the 6th string depending on what you're having them type


ex:

6, 20

-name I-Like-Bannana-Pie-With-Pudding

it will change your name to this

I-Like-Bannana-Pie-W

and like..

7, 20

it will change it to

-Like-Bannana-Pie-Wi

and

6, 400

I-Like-Bannana-Pie-With-Pudding

and

0, 400

-name I-Like-Bannana-Pie-With-Pudding

it will make the name have the -name in it.


I hope this helps ya.

this is nice guys, however i have the following "config"

event: player 1 types a msg containing -setname as a substring.

condition: (substring (((entered chat string) 1, 8)) equal to-setname

action: setname of player 1 to (substring (-setname, 8, 40))

when i type -setname(no matter what here) my name is = e..

how to slove this guys?

 

[paskovich]

Look at Illidan's trigger for god's sake! It's this:
Player - Set name of (Triggering player) to (Substring((ENTERED CHAT STRING), 8, (Length of (Entered chat string))))

 

[Mun'ki]

could you do this with a Hero Name?

 

[paskovich]

No you can't, but a separate thread was opened for thip topic...

Holy shit are you serous lol. You can do
Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing setname as A substring
Instead of
Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing setname as A Exact Match
Wow damn i need to pay more attention to the blue text, this would have saved me hourse of triggering ><
