[General] Need help with a command.

[Zhorker]

I'm working on a Titan Land map, and I'm trying to figure out how to imitate some of the core features. I've gotten to a point where i just have no idea how to do it. There's a command called '-rgb xxx xxx xxx', to select which colour to use for recolouring units in-game. The thing is that in the map you can do '-rgb xxx x xxx' or '-rgb x x xxx', and it still can read the right values. How do i make it able to read it like that? I've thought about checking if the character before the number is zero, and going by that, but i feel like there should be a cleaner way.

Use SubString and StringLength.

Get the values by substrings after check the string length then convert it to integer or real.

 

[Zhorker]

Could you try and make an example for how it'd look in a trigger?

 

[Almia]

Sorry,im weak with substrings and such.

 

[Zhorker]

It's fine. Hopefully someone else can help me out, then xD

Have fun with it..

I didn't add error messages, but made it possible to add them very easy.
Hope I could help!

Edit: You just need to copy and paste the event for all the other players.
Forgot it, sorry.. :/

 

[Zhorker]

I'll try it out. I'll tweak it a bit, since it's not the exact thing I'll be using it for. Hope it works.

 

[SeriousEnemy]

Never played the map, what does it do exactly?

 

[Zhorker]

It's pretty much the same, except it saves it as a value, so that it can be used later. You have a unit with a spell to colour things. It's so you don't have to enter the command when you wanna colour a ton of things :3 Also, it worked! Huzzah! Thanks a bunch for your help.
