[Trigger] Calling a custom script

[CrueIIntentions]

I have the following custom script:

function PlayerColouredText takes player p, string txt returns string
    local playercolor pc = GetPlayerColor(p)
    if pc == PLAYER_COLOR_RED then
        set txt = "|cffFF0202"+txt+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_BLUE then
        set txt = "|cff0041FF"+txt+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_CYAN then
        set txt = "|Cff1BE5B8"+txt+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_PURPLE then
        set txt = "|CFF530080"+txt+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_YELLOW then
        set txt = "|CFFFFFC00"+txt+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_ORANGE then
        set txt = "|CFFFE890D"+txt+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_GREEN then
        set txt = "|CFF1FBF00"+txt+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_PINK then
        set txt = "|CFFE45AAF"+txt+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_LIGHT_GRAY then
        set txt = "|CFF949596"+txt+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_LIGHT_BLUE then
        set txt = "|CFF7DBEF1"+txt+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_AQUA then
        set txt = "|CFF0F6145"+txt+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_BROWN then
        set txt = "|CFF4D2903"+txt+"|r"
    else  // A safty function
        set txt = "|CFFFFFFFF"+txt+"|r"
    endif
    set pc = null
    return txt
endfunction

I was wondering how i would use this for when a random player triggers an event?

 

[busterkomo]

call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(GetLocalPlayer(), 0., 0., 8., PlayerColouredText(GetTriggerPlayer(), GetPlayerName(GetTriggerPlayer()) + " has triggered an event"))

I was kinda hoping i could use it in GUI, thats why i posted it with a

• subheading.

 

[busterkomo]

• Events
  • Map initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Player_Colours[1] = |c00ff0303
  • Set Player_Colours[2] = |c000042ff
  • Set Player_Colours[3] = |c001ce6b9
  • Set Player_Colours[4] = |c00540081
  • Set Player_Colours[5] = |c00fffc01
  • Set Player_Colours[6] = |c00feba0e
  • Set Player_Colours[7] = |c0020c000
  • Set Player_Colours[8] = |c00e55bb0
  • Set Player_Colours[9] = |c00959697
  • Set Player_Colours[10] = |c007ebff1
  • Set Player_Colours[11] = |c00106246
  • Set Player_Colours[12] = |c004e2a04

Is the setup. An example of use would be something like

• Game - Display to (All players) for 5.00 seconds the text: (Player_Colours[(Player number of (Triggering player))] + |r has triggered an event.)

To store the players name inside the array, use something like this:

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set Player_Colours[(Integer A)] = ((Player_Colours[(Integer A)] + (Name of (Player((Integer A))))) + |r)

Feel free to post if you need more explanation.

• Custom script: call PlayerColouredText(WHICH_PLAYER, STRING)

 

[Maximilianx]

you could use a string variable and do:

• Custom script: set udg_TempString = PlayerColouredText(PLAYER, STRING)

followed by

• Game - Display to (All players) the text: (TempString)

See. I would use the GUI Version of the trigger, But i also have another set where i have the hero names set as part of the player name. If i set player names as colored arrays, Will i mess up the other custom script?

 

[busterkomo]

Have my setup run after their heros names' are setup and it should work fine.

What type of event would i use to set the:

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set Player_Colours[(Integer A)] = ((Player_Colours[(Integer A)] + (Name of (Player((Integer A))))) + |r)
