[Spell] Changing colour of unit on purpose

[Saito]

Greetings.
I want to make simple command that would change colour of target unit/building. I'm using hashtables to save values for each player, but I don't really know how to split a string by spaces, instead of splitting it by lenght, like 'substring' does.
The trigger is pretty simple(Check below). I want to make a command that sets values 3, 4 and 5 to chosen. Like -rgb X Y Z. I struggle here, cause every of those three variables can be both a one, two and three digit number.
I also would like to avoid JASS, for I don't know this language(Yet, if it's the only way, I'll try it).
PS: 6th value is implemented by -alpha command.

TRIGGER

• Colour Command Execute
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
  • Conditions
    • And - All (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Ordered unit)) Equal to ModDecoUnitType
        • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(controlmagic))
  • Actions
    • Set RotatedUnit = (Target unit of issued order)
    • Set RotatedUnitOwner = (Owner of RotatedUnit)
    • Set RotatedUnitOwnerNumber = (Player number of RotatedUnitOwner)
    • Animation - Change RotatedUnit's vertex coloring to ((Load 3 of RotatedUnitOwnerNumber from PlayerProperties)%, (Load 4 of RotatedUnitOwnerNumber from PlayerProperties)%, (Load 5 of RotatedUnitOwnerNumber from PlayerProperties)%) with (Load 6 of RotatedUnitOwnerNumber from PlayerProperties)% transparency

It's possible in GUI but you don't really need any JASS knowledge to use this.

Trigger Events Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -rgb as A substring Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -rgb as A substring Conditions Actions -------- Get the values from the entered chat string -------- Set StringVar = (Substring((Entered chat string), 6, 999)) -------- Add a space to the end of the string -------- Set StringVar = (StringVar + ) -------- Find values -------- Custom script: set udg_StringArray[0] = StringSplit(udg_StringVar, " ", 0) Custom script: set udg_StringArray[1] = StringSplit(udg_StringVar, " ", 1) Custom script: set udg_StringArray[2] = StringSplit(udg_StringVar, " ", 2) -------- Display -------- Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Red: + StringArray[0]) Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Blue: + StringArray[1]) Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Green: + StringArray[2]) -------- Set colors -------- Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) owned by (Triggering player)) and do (Actions) Loop - Actions Animation - Change (Picked unit)'s vertex coloring to ((Real(StringArray[0]))%, (Real(StringArray[1]))%, (Real(StringArray[2]))%) with 0.00% transparency

All you need to do is copy the StringSplit function to your maps header.

You can do this by clicking the map icon / filename at the top left of your trigger editor and pasting in the code below.

function StringSplit takes string source, string delimiter, integer index returns string
    local string out = ""
    local integer i = 0
    local integer c = 0
    local string s
    
    loop
        set s = SubString(source, i, i + 1)
        exitwhen s == null
        
        if (s == delimiter) then
            if (c == index) then
                return out
            endif
            set out = ""
            set c = c + 1
        else
            set out = out + s
        endif
        
        set i = i + 1
    endloop
    
    return null
endfunction
