[Trigger] Chat command, need some help

[Royy]

Hey, i'm trying to make a chat command to rename a player by saying "name xxxx" But i'm not sure how to make it so it only reads the second part of the command (the xxxx part).

Nvm, i think i figured this out.

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing A as A substring
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing B as A substring
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing C as A substring
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing D as A substring
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing E as A substring
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing F as A substring
    • -------- repeat all this events with the remaining alphabets or numbers (if you need numbers in the name) --------
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing Z as A substring
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player - Set name of Player 1 (Red) to (Entered chat string)

you could just pick it till No String

 

[Element of Water]

player types a message containing "name " as a substring

set name of triggering player to substring (string length of "name ", string length of entered chat string)

 

[Slaydon]

player types a message containing "name " as a substring

set name of triggering player to substring (string length of "name ", string length of entered chat string)

Then you would be named 6.

??? The substring function gives you a section of the string...

 

[Yixx]

Starquizer, you fail,
Element of Water, you win!
Only you should have given him the right function instead of some rip-off written function,,

• Player - Set name of (Triggering Player) to (Substring((Length of "name "), Length of (Entered Chat string)))

There you go,,

 

[Element of Water]

Lol "stupid written rip-off version"

 

[ap0calypse]

Element of Water is right...
This is the trigger (created in a rush )

Trigger

• rename
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -name as A substring
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -name as A substring
    • Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -name as A substring
    • Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing -name as A substring
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player - Set name of (Triggering player) to (Substring((Entered chat string), 7, (Length of (Entered chat string))))

If you want to set a max. value (recommended when using multiboards!), just change the "Length of Entered Chat String".
I believe the Warcraft max. is 14-15. (so it would be 7, 21).

That way you will be restricted to the names you define in the events. I have tried this before and it named the player whatever name I want; since any word will contain the 26 alphabet.

 

[Yixx]

yeah, but what if i want a name that uses spaces? That is possible, and what if i want to be named "-Yixx,,-" in-game? Or "Lil' Wayne - 15-10-09 =D" (lol i gotta admit, that didnt just pop up in my head xD) that will not be possible.. Thus using Element of Water's way is much better and much easier,,
Also, you trigger does not set my name to LOL if i type:
L
O
L
It will set my name to L.. lol forget it, i thought you said exact string, not substring,,

 

[Starquizer]

You could add any character you want in the events even if its a '-' I don't understand whats wrong with what I said and even I don't understand EOW way.

 

[Super-Sheep]

Starquizer's trigger makes no sense. -.-

 

[Yixx]

Starquizer,, Substring = part of a string,, Blizzard example sucks, but ill explain:
Substring("Grunt", 2,4) = run, because: Grunt
Substring(String,x,y) takes the x^th letter, and the y^th letter and everything in between and makes a string out of it.

 

[Element of Water]

Sure it makes sense, sure it works, but why would you bother doing that when my method is so much easier and works just as well?

EDIT: Just saw Yixx's post. Strictly speaking, it doesn't do that. It takes (x+1)th and (y+1)th. But the BJ used in GUI takes the (x)th and (y)th.

 

[Starquizer]

The problem with what you said is that I don't understand this line:

set name of triggering player to substring (string length of "name ", string length of entered chat string)

What is this substring (string length of "name ", string length of entered chat string) I never seen anything like this in the WE where can I find it ?

 

[Element of Water]

Read Yixx's post...

EDIT: Also read ap0calypse's post.

"Substring" is right below "Concatenate Strings" and above "Ability Name".
It's a very, awesomely useful action.

Examples:

• You can create all your commands into 1 trigger (yes: all of them... every command in the entire map can be made into 1 single trigger, talking about efficiency...).
• You can use this for every command that includes player-chosen numbers (e.g.: "-give 1 100", gives red 100 gold - this is also done with substrings)
• This is case-sensitive, so you can check case-sensitive strings with this :O

Maybe dont go to JASS yet )

NVM .. I never used it before.

...what?

 

[Element of Water]

He didn't understand Substring. Leave him be.

 

[Smiddle]

Ah, I see.
