How to make a trigger affect player of specific name?

[Grish]

I'd like to set up an event message that announces when I'm in the map, based on my player name. Just as a way to show to the other players that I was the person to make the map (I'll admit it's a little bit egotistical). I've seen stuff like this be done in older maps, and I'm not entirely sure if it works in Reforged, but I'd like to at least test it.

So is there a way set a trigger that activates based on player name?

maybe add a secret chat command only you know. Use it upon game start by yourself

Maybe. It's what I'll fall back on if I can't get a trigger to work for player name.

  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Name of (Picked player)) Equal to Grishnakah
          • Then - Actions
            • Game - Display to (All players) for 30.00 seconds the text: The great Grishnaka...
          • Else - Actions

Maybe something like that? Not sure how players names will work with Reforged/Bnet 2.0.

It is recommended that you use a modicum of brain power and try to find a solution for something like this first. The trigger actions and conditions are searchable and organized. It’s quite simple:

• Player Group - Pick every player in (All Players) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • If (All conditions are true) then do (Then actions) else do (Else actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Name of (Picked Player)) equal to YourName#1234 //this is string comparison
      • Then - Actions
        • //do stuff
      • Else - Actions

Thank you. This worked perfectly. Exact Bnet ID is required, including the #number.

The snark wasn't needed, but again thanks for the help.

You’ve been a member of this forum for 12 years and couldn’t be bothered to look for one condition. Snark warranted.

You're assuming I've been active on here for 12 years.
I haven't exactly been on the forum (or played with the editor) for a very long time. Reforged is the reason I'm back.
