[Trigger] Kick command with name

[Bolty]

Hello!

So i have been wondering, if it was possible to kick someone with just your account name. Meaning me "Bolty" writing "!kick blue" or "!kick 2" and then he will be kicked, i have tried a few ways but keept falining. It is a map with 8 players, and i really do not want to give the power to the Red player, i only want it since i somtimes got people who teamkill their own mates, and i would like to prevent it.

I have tried to do chat string is player red types !kick blue
Condition was: player red equals bolty basicly my name
and Action is defeat for player 2(blue) message "You have been kicked"
Display to all players text: "name of player blue" Has been kicked.

(( Also a note, i use the german version))

• Conditions
  • (Name of (Triggering Player)) equal to Bolty

Should be all you need. Of course if someone spoofs that name in a LAN or single player game it won't work.

I have trouble finding the option that you put in of (Name of (Triggering Player)), i just looked into almost everrything and do not seem to find it, did you create a variable extra? Also thanks for helping!

Do this instead:

Step 1:
Make a new variable called "Host". The variable type should be "Player".

Step 2:
Paste the following in your map header;

function GetHost takes nothing returns nothing
   local gamecache g = InitGameCache("Map.w3v")
   call StoreInteger(g, "Map", "Host", GetPlayerId(GetLocalPlayer ())+1)
   call TriggerSyncStart()
   call SyncStoredInteger(g, "Map", "Host" )
   call TriggerSyncReady()
   set udg_Host = Player( GetStoredInteger(g, "Map", "Host" )-1)
   call FlushGameCache(g )
   set g = null
endfunction

You can paste it in the map header by simply clicking the map icon above all your triggers, then pasting it into the text box on the right side.

Step 3:
Set the host with the following trigger:

• Get Host
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: Custom script: call GetHost()

Step 4:
Kicking players.
Use the following to kick a player:

• Get Host
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing !kick blue as An exact match
  • Conditions
    • (Triggering player) Equal to Host
  • Actions
    • Game - Defeat Player 2 (Blue) with the message: You have been kicke...

Does it work on any position? Lets say its a 8 player map and theres 8 forced Slots, That you can choose from and you are suddenly Purple or Teal, or Orange does these all work with having one command to kick a teamkiller or someone very toxic? Since that is all i aim for, i just want a decent kick command, for me so normal people won't abuse it.

Yeah but you need to add in events/actions for the other players as well.

Thanks this has helped me alot

Step 2:
Paste the following in your map header;

This may not detect the host. It will detect whoever syncs first, which is usually the host client but may not be if the host client was delayed due to local scheduling by the OS.

After trying out the script and that other idea, i put in somthing else that worked verywell. but thanks for helping.

Whenever you find a good solution you should share it in case people have the same problem and want to know what you did to fix it

 

[Bolty]

There you go

 

[Dr Super Good]

Minimum wait is 0.1 seconds with latency.

 

[Bolty]

it works very well, you do not even see that gold amount, it happens faster then someone could react

 

[Dr Super Good]

Why is there a wait though?

 

[Bolty]

it upgrades 2 things which are both less then a second

 

[Dr Super Good]

But why the wait between giving the resources and issuing the order?

 

[Bolty]

it reseaches attack and then armor

 

[Pyrogasm]

Yes but why do you need to wait between doing both? Ordering to research both without a wait will just queue them.

Also, if the research time is not essential, you could just set the level of research with the trigger, without all that hassle with selecting all the correct units and adding gold etc. There is an action "Player - Set Current Research Level" (or something like that).

Well i told ya it works, and i only shown it as he said
