[Trigger] -name Trigger and -replace Trigger...

[Squidle]

Alright, I'm not that g---... I can't trigger. Happy?

I want some triggers that should look like:

A player types: "-name <Name>" and then if he types ":Hello!" You get:
Squidle: Hello!

How to do thiez?

• Name Set
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -name as A substring
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set UnitName = (Entered chat string)

• Action
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing : as A substring
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (|cffffcc00 + (UnitName + (|r + (Entered chat string))))

Second Trigger

A player types: "-replace <New Unit's name>", for example... I selected a Footman and want him to be replaced with a grunt, then I type: "-replace grunt"

• Select Set
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set S_Unit = (Triggering unit)

• Action
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -replace as A substring
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Replace S_Unit with a Grunt using The old unit's relative life and mana

They both don't work and... I just can't trigger...

You're on the right track. You just haven't done all the work. This trigger isn't what you want, but it shows you how to do what you want.

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -replace as A substring
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type((Substring((Entered chat string), 10, 999)))) for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees

The key part of this is that you determine the unit's name based on a substring of whatever was chatted. So letters 10 through whatever of the chat are what determine the unit's type.

Cool it works, thanks
But I still need that first trigger, that Name trigger thingy.

Oh, and this is how my Create 'n Replace triggers lookz like.
Is there a way to make it even easier, or is this the best way?

Here too.

 

[Squidle]

Replace 999 with: Entered chat string length.

Here too.

Alright, done.
But... you know how I could do something like: A player types "-create ammount unitname" and the maximum is 10...

You mean like -create 10 peasant ? If so then

• Create units
• Events
  • Player - Player 1 Red types a chat message containing -create as a substring
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Unit - Create (substring 8, 11 units of type substring 11, 999

then i think you can create 1-10 of the entered unit types name. Not sure since i dont got warcraft III on this computer
