[ALiEN95]

If i set name of Player 1 to name of player 1 + (Dead) how can i return in to player 1?

Set name of player 1 to player 1

Was that so hard?

This should do the work for you.

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- Setting name to name+(dead) --------
    • Player - Set name of Player 1 (Red) to ((Name of Player 1 (Red)) + ( + (Dead)))
    • -------- Displaying player name + (dead) --------
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Name of Player 1 (Red))
    • -------- Setting a variable to a string --------
    • Set Player_name = ((Name of Player 1 (Red)) + ( + (Dead)))

The attitude is not needed and you are far off from fixing the problem.

This is what you need to do. First when map starts you will have to create a variable to set all players names:

• BoardNames
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Player_Names[(Integer A)] = (Name of (Player((Integer A))))
    • Custom script: call DestroyTrigger( GetTriggeringTrigger() )

Then when ever you wish to return them to there real name say after they are not dead run a trigger to set there names accordingly.

I added "Custom script: call DestroyTrigger( GetTriggeringTrigger() )" Since this trigger on its own would not be called again since the variable stored the information and no new information should be stored in these variables. also the Custom script: call DestroyTrigger( GetTriggeringTrigger() ) reduces lag in game a good bit.

The fact that he used poor english to explain the problem and that he had solved it partly by himself already, led to my reply.

And after we burn all the illiterate who is next?

Ok, sorry, a bit harsh perhaps. My apologize.

i dont know how to return iti started the trigger again but it didnt work ....
is it good to do Custom script: call DestroyTrigger( GetTriggeringTrigger() ) for every trigger that will run only once?

{EDIT}
i did it on this way it works great

• set real names
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set NAME[1] = (Name of Player 1 (Red))
    • Set NAME[2] = (Name of Player 2 (Blue))
    • Set NAME[3] = (Name of Player 3 (Teal))
    • Set NAME[4] = (Name of Player 4 (Purple))
    • Set NAME[5] = (Name of Player 5 (Yellow))
    • Set NAME[6] = (Name of Player 6 (Orange))
    • Set NAME[7] = (Name of Player 7 (Geen))
    • Set NAME[8] = (Name of Player 8 (Pink))
    • Set NAME[9] = (Name of Player 9 (Gray))
    • Set NAME[10] = (Name of Player 10 (Light Blue))
    • Set NAME[11] = (Name of Player 11 (Dark Green))
    • Set NAME[12] = (Name of Player 12 (Brown))

• return player names
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -return as An exact match
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -return as An exact match
    • Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -return as An exact match
• bla bla bla........
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player - Set name of (Triggering player) to NAME[(Player number of (Triggering player))]

Happy to see it works. As for the custom script i showed you to remove the trigger, i would suggest it for anyone if they understand what they are doing. If the trigger is only going to run once and never again in the game then yes use it. Other then that if you are not sure i wouldn't, it might cause some problems.

If you ask me, that function is overrated.
To be honest, if you're telling rookies to start using JASS functions they know very little about, at least explain what it does and why you should use it.

No offense.

(I am of course assuming that the OP is a rookie)
