how to make these commands???

[UngThanhNhan]

I need to make some commands (it is rather like DotA), please help me:
1. -ms: when a player types "-ms", there will be a text (be only shown for that player) that show his hero's movement speed.
2. -random: everyone may know this command clearly =]]
when a player types "-random", +300 gold for him and automatically give him a hero. During the random-time, hide all the heroes in the taverns (be only hidden with him, not others)
thanks!

there will be much more command that I need... I will upload then. Please help me with these first
p.s: a demo will make me get easy to understand )

Wow um.. you are one lazy person rofl - there are loads of tutorials all over the place teaching how to do this click

Basically DOTA uses some kind of string analysis, because game modes are mixed within the comands, are not harcoded. You can type -sapo instead of -apso or -soap. So, they detect when a player enters a text (-) as a substring, analyze it somehow, and must have several ITE's based on all the possible commands. Each command has it's own logic/system involved, since using -random isn't equal to using -MS, each one involves different actions. So, try to create a list of all the chat commands you want to use, and a description for each one of them.

I am not lazy... Because I am a "newbie" in WE. Trigger - it's too new with me (especially GUI, I don't remember all the Events, Conditions, Actions,...). I need more time to study them
forgive me!

I have searched them on google several times, but I feel that the trigger is too long and hard-making. So that, I am looking for and studying a shorter and easier trigger to make...

Re-read my last post. Follow my suggestion. Is the only way we can help you, since each command requires an independent answer.

 

[deathismyfriend]

u can use my tutorial things a GUIer should know as a basis for GUI things. as for ur problem u can make a massive trigger with the use of substrings. ( look for substrings in my tutorial)

it is a rather easy thing to use. try out substrings with my tutorial. if u dont understand it after u try a few times then post again. Also if u need help understanding anything on my tutorial post there and me or someone will help u asap.

i can do this for u but its always better to try to learn urself. U can also feel free to post on my tutorial if u think ur doing something wrong or anything like that.
im just posting this because i dont think u will be able to learn much if i do it by myself as it would look more complicated than anything for a beginner.

Also plz do not double post instead hit the edit button on ur last post

I see, I take back what I said. I'll help you out a bit then

before you start - you need to setup a couple of variable arrays

unit array playerHero = index number as the buying player's number and set to the bought hero
unit type array heroID = set up index numbers to unit types of hero you want to sell
boolean array playerHasPicked = when a player picks, set this to true for the player number's index
boolean array heroPicked = when a hero is picked, set the index to heroId index of the unit type sold (you need this for random, but I didn't put that in there - so variable is not used in the demo.

you can set this up easily by looping through integer A in the GUI section.

sec I'll make a demo map and give you more info - it's always best to learn by copying a demo.
Read it and try making your own - it'll help a lot. And don't forget to take your time too

u should not use integer A / B for looping they are less efficient and slower than using ur own integer.

also u shouldnt need a loop for this its simple substrings that need to be used unless u want to make multiple triggers. In that case u wont need substrings.

edit:

here is ur movement speed trigger

note: when u spawn / select the heroes for the player u need to store them into the pickedHeroArray indexed to that players number.
example: player 1 picks a unit. do

• Set pickedHeroArray[(Player number of ( triggering player))] = unit selected

that will set the unit into the array the correct way

• movement speed
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -ms as An exact match
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -ms as An exact match
    • Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -ms as An exact match
    • Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing -ms as An exact match
    • Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing -ms as An exact match
    • Player - Player 6 (Orange) types a chat message containing -ms as An exact match
    • Player - Player 7 (Green) types a chat message containing -ms as An exact match
    • Player - Player 8 (Pink) types a chat message containing -ms as An exact match
    • Player - Player 9 (Gray) types a chat message containing -ms as An exact match
    • Player - Player 10 (Light Blue) types a chat message containing -ms as An exact match
    • Player - Player 11 (Dark Green) types a chat message containing -ms as An exact match
    • Player - Player 12 (Brown) types a chat message containing -ms as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set tempPlayer = (Triggering player)
    • Set tempInt[0] = (Player number of tempPlayer)
    • Player Group - Add tempPlayer to tempPlayerGroup
    • Game - Display to tempPlayerGroup the text: (String((Current movement speed of pickedHeroArray[tempInt[0]])))
    • Player Group - Remove tempPlayer from tempPlayerGroup

@msongyboi
plz learn the correct naming for variables and other things. variables should be camelCased.
functions should have FirstLetterOfWordCapsed.
constant variables should be ALL_CAPS_WITH_SPACE_THING

 

[msongyboi]

ahah yes my bad, I just got mixed up cuz of GUI - I did find that tut on conventions

and thanks for the corrections;;

while Looping in integer a might be bad, showing the concept might be a good thing to show since it'll be easier for things that require looping.

np and glad u looked for it i couldnt look for it at the time and i forgot about it lol. just edit ur above post so the TO doesnt get confused if u dont mind. also u have more variables than u need to have.
