Kill Messages

[XScorchX]

Hey Guys, just a quick Question, how can i configure a Trigger that displays a message when a Hero killed another.

i want it like that : "Name" Has slain "Name."


Other Infos:
The "Heros" are Units, not heros
It is not an PvP Map
I want the names of the Unit's coloured in their team colours.

First you need to set player colour variables.

• Set udg_PlayerColour[1] = ( "|cffff0202" )
• Set udg_PlayerColour[2] = ( "|cff0041ff" )
• Set udg_PlayerColour[3] = ( "|cff1be5b8" )
• Set udg_PlayerColour[4] = ( "|cff530080" )
• Set udg_PlayerColour[5] = ( "|cffffff00" )
• Set udg_PlayerColour[6] = ( "|cfffe890d" )
• Set udg_PlayerColour[7] = ( "|cffff0202" )
• Set udg_PlayerColour[8] = ( "|cff0041ff" )
• Set udg_PlayerColour[9] = ( "|cff1be5b8" )
• Set udg_PlayerColour[10] = ( "|cff530080" )
• Set udg_PlayerColour[11] = ( "|cffffff00" )
• Set udg_PlayerColour[12] = ( "|cfffe890d" )

Then you need to make the kill trigger:

• Event - unit dies
• Actions:
• Game - display ((PlayerColour[player number of owner of killing unit] + (unit name of killing unit)) + (" has slain " + (PlayerColour[player number of owner of triggering unit] + (unit name of triggering unit) ))

Thank you very much! +rep

Edit: i dont quite get the Kill trigger, i dont know how to make it, could you explain that one a bit more? like where do i find the components

In the string function list, you need to pick "concatenate strings", which will then give you an option that looks like this:
String 1 + string 2
Then for what we need you'll need to do the same for each of those

The rest of the string functions you'll also find in that function list.

maybe i have a different editor or something, i dont find any of
that functions, except "Player - Player name" and "Unit - Unit name"
but no colour or player number or anything.

Sorry i bug you

Did you create the variables?

• Set PlayerColour[1] = ( "|cffff0202" )
  • Set PlayerColour[2] = ( "|cff0041ff" )
  • Set PlayerColour[3] = ( "|cff1be5b8" )
  • Set PlayerColour[4] = ( "|cff530080" )
  • Set PlayerColour[5] = ( "|cffffff00" )
  • Set PlayerColour[6] = ( "|cfffe890d" )
  • Set PlayerColour[7] = ( "|cffff0202" )
  • Set PlayerColour[8] = ( "|cff0041ff" )
  • Set PlayerColour[9] = ( "|cff1be5b8" )
  • Set PlayerColour[10] = ( "|cff530080" )
  • Set PlayerColour[11] = ( "|cffffff00" )
  • Set PlayerColour[12] = ( "|cfffe890d" )

Create a string variable called PlayerColour, and tick the box that says "array", this will make it an array variable that uses [ ] brackets.

When you put these in, it won't be in the Function list, but in the section above - the Variable list. Once you select this one, square brackets will appear behind it, that is where you put player number of owner of killing unit.
