How do I display a message to one player only

[Allione]

Well, the question is already asked.

 

[LordDz]

Set variable Playergroup = Playergroup(Player 1);
Game - Message Display "Hello" to Playergroup;
Remove Playergroup

• Set TempPlayerGroup = (Player group((Your Player)))

• Game - Display to TempPlayerGroup the text: Your Message

• Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_TempPlayerGroup)

• Custom script: set udg_TempPlayerGroup = null

actually doing exactly that will result into messaging everyone in the same playergroup as the player I want to write the text.

Nah not really.
Actually the above triggers are the way to go.

This is another variation:

 Set TempPlayerGroup = (Player group(Owner of (Triggering unit)))
 Game - Display to TempPlayerGroup the text: Your Message
 Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_TempPlayerGroup)

You can try it to confirm yourself:

 Set TempPlayerGroup = (Player group(Player 12))
 Game - Display to TempPlayerGroup the text: Your Message
 Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_TempPlayerGroup)

You won't see the message.

I don't understand.
How would this message every player in the player group?
Because here I have set only 1 player into player group and in Display Message action refered to that variable which points to only 1 player.

If I have set "all players" into that player group, then it would result into messaging every player because the variable picked up all players.

well, I don't know why but it doesn't work. I tried that the first thing and yet it's no go
thanks for your help anyway, I believe you, I guess I somehow managed to damage something.

Show me the trigger where you're trying to accomplish displaying message.

What The Blood posted above is the correct way. It should work. There has to be a problem in your triggers. Can you show us them. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/miscellaneous-tutorials-456/how-easily-post-triggers-163285/

call DisplayTextToPlayer()

Learn jass, don't waste your time with force/playergroup objects.
