[Trigger] Change Name

[cHeRoL]

Hi there Hivemates!
I want to know if someone could give me a trigger.

If Player 1-12 equal to a player( not ocmputer),then change name of owning unit by (player 1-12) to player's name.

Example:

Player name : cHeRoL then change my own unit name to cHeRoL

Can't. End of story.

hi this could be a bit difficult
since i am not really good at it myself i can give only a little help

• change name
• events
  • map initialization

do u want it to happen at the beginning of the game, (the units are already there)
or do u want it at a point later on? (someone purchases a unit)

• conditions
  • (none)
• actions
  • if then else multiple conditions

there should be an action function very similar to this. u will have to do this for every single player

• if - cconditions
  • player 1 player status is playing equal to true
• then - actions
  • change name of (unit [if already existing]

dunno if such a function exist in GUI (or do u want it in jass????)
i just want to know if that is what u meant

As far as i know there is a function Custom Script
it is similar to jass and if someone gives u tells u the action code in Jass maybe u can use it on your own

hope i could help u a little


@ ghostwolf
is it impossible even in JASS????
i know that it is impossible in GUI

There is no such action that allows you to change the name of the unit. Not in GUI nor JASS. Just like GhostWolf said.

try giving it no name... and it might look like player name but you cant change the units name

 

[Dr Super Good]

The selection of natives contained within WC3 denies a map maker from manipulting a hero or unit's type name or name. The closest to such manipulation one can get requires that all possiable combinations of name be pre entered for units and the correct unit is selected with the correct name when required.

All in all what you are asking is not possiable.

Or you could make a trigger that allows a Floating Text to appear above the unit when you want (I suggest you don't choose to place it over their heads always, since that'll give a lot of lag to place a new Floating Text every x seconds. You can choose to make it appear for x seconds when a player selects the unit though)

Just check if that could work for you. If not, then there's really nothing to be done.

Floating Text is a good ideea,can you show my a bit?

 

[Avator]

• Floating Text
  • Events
    • A unit is selected
  • Condition
    • (Triggering Unit) equal to A Hero
  • Actions
    • Floating text - Create floating text above (Triggering Unit) with text (String(Name of (Triggering Unit)))
    • Set Name_FloatingText[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering Unit)))] = (Last create Floating Text)
    • Wait 3 seconds
    • Floating Text - Destroy Name_FloatingText[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering Unit)))]

This only works for games where there's only 1 hero per player (Like in RPGs). You can adjust this to what you want if you want it to be available for more units.
