Name Spoofer {-name [desired name], like in Polar Escape}

[Kenji.1484]

Hi, could somebody please tell me how to make a Name Spoofer trigger like in the Polar Escape series where you type -name [desired name] in the chat box?

Thank you very much!

And what is this name spoofer trigger supposed to do?

It's supposed to change your name by typing "-name [enter desired name]". ^^

• Untitled Trigger 005
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -name as A substring
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player - Set name of (Triggering player) to (Substring((Entered chat string), 7, (Length of (Entered chat string))))

Typing
-name Mike
will change your name to Mike.

You could limit player name to changing that (Length of (Entered chat string) to 21 for example.

If you type
Mike -name
Your name will be
name

So it doesn't matter where the -name is. I think there's a way to check whether it is at the beginning or not.

EDIT:

• Untitled Trigger 005
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -name as A substring
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_String_2 = (Substring((Entered chat string), 1, 5))
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Temp_String_1 Equal to Temp_String_2
      • Then - Actions
        • Player - Set name of (Triggering player) to (Substring((Entered chat string), 7, (Length of (Entered chat string))))
      • Else - Actions

Create Temp_String_1 and set it's value to -name.

Thank you very much!

Oh, it's "Temp_String_1 Not Equal to Temp_String_2", well it only worked for me when I did that. ^^

It is Equal to, but you have to add this action on your Map initialization Trigger:

• Map initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_String_1 = -name

 

[Kenji.1484]

Strange, it doesn't work, even if I add that action.

 

[Maker]

Remember that you have to add events for other players also.
It really does work, I tested it.

Set the initial value of Temp_String_1 to -name

 

[Kenji.1484]

Okay, it works now.
I'm not sure what exactly I did wrong, but I think it's something to do with Temp_String_2's value being <Empty String> instead of None. ^^

Anyhow, thank you very much Maker.
