INgame text message with a specific player name

[Cyrax86]

Hi!

I want to create a text message like:

''<NAME>'' has been killed.

How can I add the name of the player in such a text message?

MfG

Cyrax

PS: Is there a guide for the WE that explains such questions?

 

[Numerion]

event:
unit dies
condition:
diyng unit equal to your unit
actions:
Dysplay to all players message: (ovner of (dying unit) has been killed

just some additional info
if you click the text field it says sth like string1 + string2 , click string1 and select "owner of dying unit", then string2 and write sth like "has been killed"

  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 30.00 seconds the text: ((Name of (Triggering player)) + got owned (killed))

(the stuff in ()'s are string 1 and string 2)

Okay, but how can I change the color of the text then? where should i type in the code now?

Ahah!

There is a nice JASS script made by Ammorath avaliable at wc3c. GetPlayerColoured()

At your level though. . . I don't think you can.

If you send me the map I can add it, or you could learn some JASS.

My level says nothing about me, thrust me ;-)
Please give me the link or the name of the tool.

as im sure u know, the code is:

|cffffcc00   Text goes here  |r

Depending on the color u want,
so with that being said, just break that first string1 into another string1 + string2 and add the first part of the code on:

• Game - Display to (All players) the text: ((|cffffcc00 + (Name of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))) + just got pawned|r)

hope that helps

You'll have to learn JASS first. No offence intended, and I hope none taken.

Anyway, here it is.

If you need some help I can make up a demo map and send it, with the proper message.
