In-Game Chat

How do you change the in-game chat to All, Allies, or Observers using triggers? Thanks!

What do you mean, I need more info! Post what exactly you want to do and as much info as you can!

Well, what I want to do exactly is set a password for my account on my map, by that I mean that I don't want anybody spoofing my name on BNet. To do so, I want to do something like:

• Events
  • Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds
• Conditions
  • (Name of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to Kenji.1484
• Actions
  • Countdown Timer - Start (Expiring timer) as a One-shot timer that will expire in 10.00 seconds

Then I want to do something like Set Player 1 (Red)'s chat to Observers, so I can then type my password, then "If Player 1 (Red) types (My Password) as an exact match, Do Nothing else Set Player 1 (Red)'s name to Imposter, and I want to be able to do this only within the 10 seconds of the timer.

I don't know if I was very clear in my explanation, I hope you understood.

You can just use a trigger which goes like:

Events: Player 1 (Red) types "yourPass" as text
Actions: Clear video text messages for all players

the trigger runs so fast, that the password is not even shown in the game.
It is removed imediatly.

Try it yourself.

BUT I don't know if the password appears in the chat history :/
Just check it

OK, thanks I'll try this.

An alternative would be to make everyone else an enemy and when the password is typed ally them. It could also punish the "Imposter" since he didn't type the password he will be attacked by everyone.
