[Trigger] Begin Chat on Allies

[El_Suave]

I'm not sure if this is triggers or not so I'm posting here. I'm trying to figure out how to make it so that all the players in my map start in ally chat rather than all chat. If anyone can reply, much thanks.

If they're in a force with Allies, they start in Allied chat.

they are not a force in allies, in simple words, i have a trivia game, no one is allied but has shared vision, and ive been getting feedback that it would be nice to start in ally chat so no one can copy answers, even though its not that hard to change in ally, but it'd be more convenient. right now the chat for everyone is at all.

Put them in allied forces and unally them at the start of the game.

you could also lock the teams, so they can't change allies.

 

[El_Suave]

what trigger do i input to force all players to unally as the map initializes?

 

[PurplePoot]

A lot of 'Player - Set Alliance's

 

[El_Suave]

okay, i made everyone an ally, which did make everyone start in ally chat at first, but when i did the triggers

Map Initialization

Action
Player - Set alliance etc etc

it made everyone start on all chat again, do i need to change the map initialization to an elapsed time????

Weirdness, maybe it makes you revert to all chat when you lose your last ally. Try doing it at like 1 second or something, but if that doesn't help then I think you're buggered.

force them to change the chat to observers
See if you can ask a jass scripter to make a script where in 5 minutes they must have their chat set to observers. If thats possible that is.
Or, you can get ideas from my example trigger:
Answering

• Events
• Player - Player 1 (Red) types the message - as a substring
• Conditions
• Actions
• Cinematic - Clear all text Messages from the screen

I never actually tried doing stuff like that, like the OOC chat on HRP,DoBRP, etc.
If anyone has actually done things like that, explain it to him.

my theory was correct, after using an elapsed time rather than map initialization, players are now able to start in allied chat with having unallied everyone after 5 seconds, now answers cannot be shared in allied chat.

Ty very much for everyone's help ^^
