How do I use call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer?


I made this but it doesn't work
call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(GetTriggerPlayer(), 0, 0, 15, "|cffffcc00" + udg_Pnt_Error)

like this. also use jass tags next time.
call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(GetTriggerPlayer(), 0, 0, 15, "|cffffcc00" + udg_Pnt_Error + "|r")

death, you can use ljass tags for single line code:
call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(GetTriggerPlayer(), 0, 0, 15, "|cffffcc00" + udg_Pnt_Error + "|r")

It looks fine to me. My guess is that GetTriggerPlayer() is null in that case (you should check if it actually refers to a player), or if you get a syntax error then it probably means udg_Pnt_Error is not a string (you may need to convert it using R2S or I2S in that case).

he is missing the " in there. also he is missing the end code for the colors.

he is missing the " in there. also he is missing the end code for the colors.

It still works without the |r. Also, he has quotes but there was some error when he pasted it. " is a HTML entity. I'm guessing the issue is elsewhere, unless he literally typed in ".

i know the " was a html entity ( didnt know it was called an entity lol)
i figured he tried to use the &qout; thats y i changed it to the " that wc3 uses for strings.

Wow. I removed the " and it worked :O
Thank you all
