ok but, how do i know what question will be?

 

[Eleandor]

Questions[] = an arrayed string variable
Answers[] = an arrayed string variable.

In the initialization trigger, write down your questions and answers:

Questions[0] = "What's the capital of France"
Answers[0] = "paris" <-- write all in lower caps
etc.

• Events
  • Every 30 seconds of game time
• Actions
  • Set Question = random integer between 0 and 20 <-- question is integer variable
  • Game - display to (all players) the string Questions[Question]
  • Trigger - turn on "Answer"

• Answer
• Events
  • Player 1 enters a chat string containing "- " as a substring
  • Player 2 enters a chat string containing "- " as a substring
• Conditions
  • Entered chat string from 1 to 2 = "- "
  • Entered chat string from 3 to (length of entered chat string) converted to lower case is equal to Answers[Question]
• Actions
  • Add 100 gold
  • Trigger - turn off this trigger

Did not understand the Answer part...can u tell me more detailed please!

----------------------EDIT-------------------------
So, i have to do 20 triggers of answers?Whats the *-*?

 

[Eleandor]

No.

Maybe I was a little bit unclear. I have following variables:

Questions: string array
Answers : string array
Question : integer <-- note that it's called "Question", not "Questions".

Every 30 seconds you set Question = random integer between 0 and 20.
Now you know that the question is:
Questions[Question]
The corresponding answer is:
Answers[Question].

So when you're asking the question, you display the message:
Questions[Question]

When a player is answering the question, you check if the answer is equal to
Answers[Question]

K, ty for helping Eleandor, but didnt worked, the question always is the same, the answer dont work.
Isnt a host quiz, is a game mini quiz, its a TD but every 60 secs, the game ask something and everyone answer.

 

[Eleandor]

Sigh... It does work, but perhaps you made a mistake somewhere. Could you post me your triggers so I can check them on mistakes?

Oh and also go to File > Preferences > Test Map
make sure the "Use fixed random seed" box is UNchecked. Otherwise you'll always get the same order of answers when you're testing the map.

First error:
In the "Quiz Asking" trigger, change the "Trigger: Run Answer checking conditions" to "Trigger: Turn on Answer"

Second error:
Currently you have the condition "Entered Chat String Equal Answers[Question]" while the event is "Player red type '-' as a substring", this means that when a player types an answer, for instance -paris, it checks the "-paris" string with the Answers[] array, so if the Answers[Question] has the value "paris", it will return false, as "paris" != "-paris".

Try using substrings, unless all answers start with an -.

 

[dimitri231]

So, i should put Disable on it or disable innitialy on?
