Any Player Types This Message

[defskull]

• Player - *AnyPlayer* types a chat message containing -Talents as A substring

Can this be done ?
I don't know what do to make it "any player" types that message, and get the following action for that "any player" only, not all

Do it for each player:

• Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message....
• Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message...
• Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message...

Or, you can also just make a trigger and add the events in a loop on map initialization, eg:

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Trigger - Add to Some Trigger <gen> the event (Player - (Player((Integer A))) types a chat message containing -Talents as An exact match)
    • Custom script: call DestroyTrigger(GetTriggeringTrigger())

The player who typed the message will be returned as "Triggering Player".

Which one you should recommend ?
I'm doing this for 3 players in a game, and I kinda need it like MPI System Trigger
I presume, that it's the 2nd one ?

You can use whichever you want. If you know which players you are doing it for and there are only 3, then use the first one. The second method is only if you are too lazy to add them all yourself. :3

Purge, I wouldn't advise destroying a GUI trigger because the triggeraction associated with it will remain and cause handle-stack corruption and that sucks as we all know. It's better just to leave it as it is.

 

[PurgeandFire]

Hmm... I've heard of handle-stack corruption but I never experienced it, nor heard much information about when it occurs/what happens when it occurs. :\

I've tried manipulating all the data, even after it was destroyed, and it seemed to work fine. I've seen people have huge rpg's and stuff where they did destroy triggers, and I never encountered any errors or problems, so I'll assume it is safe, unless I see some sort of test map or something showing it. ;P

For efficency, you should only add the event to players who are actually human and playing at the time the trigger is created. Anything else wastes resources.

A simple function could be made to do this hopefully. It would basically take the same parameters as the current event without the player slot (as it itterates through all human active players instead).
