Eccho:

Changes made (and I was wrong on a point). The system is not a very big one, but I guess it could be useful.

Review changed.

Oh noes the pic looks terrible O_O
Edit: Can I reupload the picture? What's the best format? .gif clearly = fail
Edit2: Wth .png = fail as well. What's going on here x_x

Exelent system blueberry wizard, Works well XD

 

[Eccho]

just go with jpg or png. That will be fine.
As long as you use the "update" button and dont make a new "clone" of the system, you are free to do whatever you want with it

-----

Please take a look at the following: The system doesn't seem to work as flawlessly as you say ._.

This pic shows that, no matter what string I choose (ally, war, alliances, unally) it just goes from ally to enemy to ally to enemy.

 

[BlueBerryWizard]

Eccho, the reason I have -war, -ally, and -unally in the system is so that people guessing what the command to bring up the menu is will get it right. Original command was just "-alliances". It's a n00b pleaser thing really.

Edit: Also, it shows in the menu if the player you are selecting in ally or enemy. When you select them it unallies them if they are an ally, or allies them if they are an enemy.

 

[Eccho]

Oh I see. It was just very confusing instead ^.^

Also, I have something else on my mind. I am not 100% sure that "triggering player" will work for a trigger with no event. I mean, once the player has typed the string, you direct it to another trigger. Sure, it is ran exactly at the same time, but imagine that it may give issues if you have several triggers firing and registring a triggering player event.
I suggest, instead of calling it, have it in the same trigger.

 

[Kingz]

How the heck did this get a 5/5 rating?
Eccho?
Or did he vote for himself?
This whole thing is confusing...

 

[Eccho]

Kingz, see my moderator review, it is not rated.

 

[Kingz]

I was refering to user rating...

 

[BlueBerryWizard]

What do you have against my system kingz? Have you even tried it out? Btw, nothing is wrong with using triggering player in a trigger with no event. Also, I have those parts in seperate triggers so people can run them to refresh it.

 

[Kingz]

I have no grudge against you nor your system, but rating yourself i think is forbiden and cause eccho didn't say he did so, i didn't rate it and you have to post a reply to rate we have 3 persons who can rate:
-me
-you
-eccho
I didn't give it rating, and i doubt eccho did it so it means it was you, meaning you rated your own resource which is i think against the rules.

 

[Eccho]

Well, to sort this thing out, a guy names Ago or something voted without replying.

BlueBerryWizard, there may become issues with using a triggering player there, since, if you have a map firing and registring "triggering player" events during the map several times, the connection may be lost. I am telling you as a warning. It is not as safe as it would be if you merge the both triggers together.

Sure, never mind then. It does not bug now...

 

[BlueBerryWizard]

Zomg bug!?

Last night I realized that it sets the boolean for "Viewing_Alliances" when a player types "-". This need to be fixed. Will update. (>_<) To everyone who has downloaded the map already, just move that boolean to the "Then - Actions" part. I was at work all day so I couldn't do anything about it till now.

EDIT: I've updated the map... and the picture still fails lol

It looks like a nice dialog box with the alliances coloured.

If the trigger was brought by another trigger via 'Run Trigger', the Triggering values remain. Same for units, out of experience.

 

[Eccho]

Okay, my bad here... Yeah, darn

 

[Darkgamma]

This is pathetic. It goes from ally to enemy, loop...

 

[BlueBerryWizard]

This is pathetic. It goes from ally to enemy, loop...

WHAT? How is this pathetic? And did you rate this poorly? Not to mention, what's the point in reallying an ally? I bet you couldn't do this. Did you even test it out?!

 

[Redterr0r]

Looks nice! Cept for that saying the same thing allies/disallies.. I guess that could be useful though
4/5

What did you mean when you said "Cept for that saying the same thing allies/disallies.."? Do you mean you don't like it when it displays a message, for example, saying {insert player name here} has allied{insert another player name here}? o.o

 

[Redterr0r]

No I do, I just think -ally should have an -unally rather than using -ally twice
get mah drift?

o_o *blank stare*

 

[constellcreate]

i dont find this system much useful. . .

 

[Eccho]

Seems to be a twist of that. I find it not very complex like I said, but lies somewhere between lacking and useful in my opinion. I cant judge it halfly.

 

[BlueBerryWizard]

i dont find this system much useful. . .

I guess you don't need to ally/unally players in your maps... You could however use this to make your own menu that shows different stuff for each player and does whatever you want.

 

[I-am-murloc]

I get this error

 

[BlueBerryWizard]

I get this error

Hmmm it seems that atleast one variable is missing... otherwise I'd need you to type out that one line that is giving you the error if I'm going to fix it o.o

 

[thegreatninjaman]

i am getting an error when i try importing this, when i test map it says there is an expected name or something then turns off the trigger.

EDIT: if ( not ( GetClickedButtonBJ() == udg_DialogMenu_Ally_Button[(( GetConvertedPlayerId(GetTriggerPlayer()) - 1) * 12 + ( GetForLoopIndexA()) )] ) ) then

Line 90: expected a name

endif

Line 92: Expected a Code Statement
