[Solved] Multiple chat message recognition within a single trigger

[WarCortez]

Assuming this is the event.

• Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing left as An exact match

• Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing right as An exact match

Is it possible to recognize the two message individually within a single trigger without creating more triggers? So the result would be something like this:

• Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing left as An exact match

• Game - Display to (All players) the text: You said left.

• Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing right as An exact match

• Game - Display to (All players) the text: You said right.

Can you do it so it's not an exact match? Then just look for the letter t in the message. Then make an IF message is left do LEFT STUFF, etc.

No, I need the word to be identified.

I know that but events are very static. You can make it over-trigger and then have if-then conditions to match on left and right. This way you can have it all in one.

My example was for simplicity. I also don't know the condition that would recognize the chat message in the event because that would solve the issue. But not with letters only.

Entered Chat String is an event response, which you can use with a string comparison. You can check substrings of that string as well.

What's substring? One word out of a sentence? When I've tried looking it up, I always seen it with integer variable.

 

[Pyrogasm]

It's a sub... string. A smaller string that was part of a bigger one. It helps if you read the action descriptions:

But what do those numbers mean?

 

[Pyrogasm]

The description gives an example. Which character the substring starts and ends on.

Oh, it's the letters from 2 to 4. Got it.

 

[Pyrogasm]

If you want to use 'end of the string' as the second number, put in (String length of (Entered Chat String)).

So, is that "runts stink?"

 

[Pyrogasm]

Yes.

Multiple Events can be registered to the same trigger:

• Events
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing left as An exact match
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing right as An exact match
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Variable Str = (Entered chat string)
  • If all conditions are true then do (Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • Str Equal to left
    • Then - Actions
      • -------- P1 typed "left" --------
    • Else - Actions
  • If all conditions are true then do (Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • Str Equal to right
    • Then - Actions
      • -------- P1 typed "right" --------
    • Else - Actions

The Actions will run the moment any of the Events occur.

The Actions will run when one or the other happens.

Yes, Pyrogasm mentioned the chat id condition. What's the idea behind using a variable, rather than just using the condition?

Micro optimization, it also just makes things easier if you expand the trigger.

Then you would drag the second ITE into the Else - Actions of the first ITE since these two things are mutually exclusive.

But these types of optimizations aren't going to make or break anything - unless your trigger does some crazy heavy task.

I don't see the difference. It requires typing in the wanted chat message, same as giving the condition simply "entered chat string". What exactly it makes easier?

It's more efficient which is what I really care about. A variable look-up is faster than calling a function to retrieve a variable.

But I personally find it easier to browse through my variables instead of a list of functions. I often only have a couple of String variables.

Variables in general make things easier.
