chat message help

[Nailgun]

i need host configuration in he beginning of the game, and i need to convert something in what the host sais to an integer, and then to a variable.
For example, if red typed this:
-Level 47

the integer 47 would be converted to a variable.
I prefer GUI, but JASS is fine too.
Thanks for your help.

Substrings are your answer.

so the text is "-level####"
                1234567890
we are using:   ------7890
because i put in 7, 10

now you have a string set for the last 3 characters/numbers
and an integer set for the last 3 numbers which you can set to your level variable or whatever.
hope that made sense

• SubStrings
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -level as A substring
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set string = (Substring((Entered chat string), 7, 10))
    • Set integer = (Integer(string))
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 30.00 seconds the text: string
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 30.00 seconds the text: (String(integer))

And that is your GUI way to do it.

You need to add the condition:

Substring (entered chat string, 1, 6) equal to -level

You need to replace the action: "Set string = (Substring((Entered chat string), 7, 10))" by
Set string = (Substring((Entered chat string), 7, Length of (entered chat string)))
