Creating a trigger stating who killed who.

[crunx]

I'm fairly new to triggers, and I wanted to once a unit dies, the game writes out Owner of Killing Unit has slain Owner of Dead Unit in chat, but all I can get it to do is writing out the Owner of Killing Unit, and then nothing else.

Any help on what to do here?

Show us your trigger.

I just don't know how to add more into the message.

Use Concatenate Strings

• Who killed who
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: ((Name of (Triggering unit)) + ( has been killed by + (Name of (Killing unit))))

Choose "Concatenate String". This allows you to print multiple strings in a row.

Okay, thanks a lot!

Could you help me now on how to add color around the given players names?

• trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: ((Name of (Owner of (Killing unit))) + ( has slain + ((Name of (Owner of (Dying unit))) + .)))

You'll need to use color codes and concatenate them onto the string.

For reference see this: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...278/warcraft-iii-color-tags-linebreaks-31386/

For a quick library of already made colors try this out.

library Colors

globals
    constant string PINK = "|ffc0cb"
    constant string RED = "|cffff0000"
    constant string BLUE = "|cff0000ff"
    constant string ORANGE = "|cffffa500"
    constant string GREEN = "|cff008000"
    constant string GOLD = "|cffffd700"
    constant string CYAN = "|cff00ffff"
    constant string SILVER = "|cffc0c0c0"
    constant string PURPLE = "|cff800080"
    constant string YELLOW = "|cffffff00"
    constant string WHITE = "|c00FFFFFF"
