Get Map Name

[Jaeron]

Quite simple; how do i get the name of my map via trigger only?

*no user predefine variable.

//not what i want
udg_MyMapName = Hello

Thanks in advance!

There's no way. But if you want to really get the mapname, just type the mapname instead of getting it.

Like this:

• Game - Display text to (All Players): Wc3 Chess is the name of my map!!

 

[Mini-Me]

Why would you want to get your map name in some other way? Im very curious now, please do tell

maybe a protection? if mapname is not equal to this, then end game.

Well, I have read your thread there, and I think there MIGHT BE function or CONSTANT VARIABLE that saves name, but is avalabile only in jass. I am not sure as I dont have jass in front of me (nor wc3 :/)

Eureka!

I found a way; all thanks to Ammorth.

Pst pst, Jaeron, want to introduce yourself to the Hive Workshop Community? Do so here!

 

[YoshiRyu]

thanks
it is not proper, but i know that it work

Jaeron, would you mind explaining how it works? i didnt really understand the other person's post, and I would really like to use this function in my map.

He use this Function to return the String (Mapname).
Hoever you will have to test which value it is. To Test it easily you could use this function he posted.

function GetString takes integer i returns string
    return i
    return ""
endfunction

Insert it to the Costum Map Script, and use it in a GUI Trigger like this

• Example
  • Events
    • Time - Game Time Elapsed 5 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (tmp) from 0 to 10, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Costume Script: set udg_string = GetString(udg_tmp)
        • Game - Display ((Convert Integer to String(tmp)+" - "+string) to all

This would give out string 0 to 10, plus the Numbers so you can look up which is the map name, and use it later in the CostumeScript with a constant value like

set string = GetString(4)

 

[YoshiRyu]

hey... that's may work to change the interface string which are not in the customised interface window!
i'll try it!

EDIT: there is not the string i'm looking for in this memory part :/

 

[Turtles]

thanks very much!

Arf if someone would hack it they would just remove that trigger

 

[HINDYhat]

Can't you just use TRIGSTR_001?

 

[Xelephant]

Sure you can, but you will still have to find out which String is used it could be 002 or 005...

 

[Turtles]

yea, they could just delete the trigger protecting the map, but you could hide that function in a large trigger so that it's difficult to find. it would be a lot nicer than not letting anyone open it.
