[JASS] How can i Hide Text from another player and show it to others

[Diehard@Azeroth]

Someone please delete this Thread-----------------------------------

Also you guys should know i dont really use JASS since i just use it to remove leaks and such.

Squelching Problem:
Just yesterday i started working on a easy but customizable chat system, i added some features to it, and today, just now, i started working on a Squelch feature
where if you type Squelch ## then the triggering player will not be able to see the row of the number typed. i already know how to do the subtrings part and such but when you hide text or icons in a multiboard it will hide it all when it is in gui, so im thinking there might be a way for this in jass using GetLocalPlayer or such functions but im not able to really make them work well since im not such a wizz with Compile errors.

~~Nevermind, Function ceases to work since blizzard only hides/unhides full multiboard :[.

Thanks for the help diablo-dk but the blizzards function doesnt work, it only hides/unhides the multiboard and not specific Rows/Columns

    if GetLocalPlayer() == whichPlayer then
        // Display message here.
    endif

It can also be done in gui by using the custom script action:

• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(0)
• // Some actions here
• Custom script: endif

This trigger does whatever actions you put inside the "box" for "Player(0)".

Put the actions that you want to be shown for the specific player(s) in the "box".

What doesn't work about it? Just only add those lines for local players. Or just have a different multiboard per player.

he wants to know how to make a PM system
like he types "Squelch omg this is totally lame"
no one will be able to see that
well you can clear text messages after this but they can check from chat screen
send a message to observers for commands xD

Here's an example from my map that doesn't use getlocalplayer.

// Display text to a range of players
function jrp_func_DisplayTextToRange takes integer start, integer end, string text returns nothing
	loop
	exitwhen start > end
		call DisplayTextToPlayer(Player(start), 0, 0, text)
	set start = start + 1
	endloop
endfunction

Now, as far as a PM system goes, it would be easier to trigger in sending the message to a single player rather than sending it to everyone and then try to hide it.

[jass=A better implementation of that function]function jrp_func_DisplayTextToRange takes integer start, integer end, string text returns nothing
if GetPlayerId(GetLocalPlayer()) >= start and GetPlayerId(GetLocalPlayer()) <= end then
call DisplayTextToPlayer(GetLocalPlayer(),0,0,text)
endif
endfunction[/code]
