Player (1-5) types message "(1-5)"

[Mouzyy]

Heya folks, another question of mine

Basically, i need Event that fires when player 1,2,3,4 or 5 writes number 1-2-3-4 or 5 as chat message string. And then use that string he wrote as variable in further actions.

One way is to make 25 events, 5 for each player and each one for different number, like

• Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing (String(1)) as An exact match
• Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing (String(2)) as An exact match
• Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing (String(3)) as An exact match
• Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing (String(4)) as An exact match
• Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing (String(5)) as An exact match

and then repeat for every player, but that seems dumb, so is there any way how to make this work with, up to 5 Events, one for each player, or so?

Thanks!

either as you said add it manually or something like

local integer i
loop
exitwhen i == 5
//add event here with trigger
set i = i + 1
endloop
//this method would add 5 events for one player you could do this once for each player

String ITE?

String ITE?

that would be the best solution here.

just use a blank substring as ur event. Then u check if entered string is equal to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 using ITEs and there u go.

If you are going for performence events is better.

separate events ?
how is that faster ?
u would need more triggers with separate events.

 

[Chaosy]

I dont know what you mean by seperate but..
If we add the event using loop we run 5 * 5 actions at init
If we use filters we use 2 * 5 conditions per event fired.

local player p = GetTriggerPlayer()
local integer i
loop
exitwhen i==5
//check if player p is 1,2,3,4 or 5
//check if entered number is equal to 1,2,3,4 or 5
set I = I + 1
endloop

im talking about adding the event for the players with an empty string.

then checking if the player entered the number 1 to 5 using an ITE.

 

[Chaosy]

ok then it would be between 1 and 5 conditions atleast, based on how you trigger it.

So after 5 to 25 times my way is more efficient

 

[deathismyfriend]

im not sure what u mean as ur way ?

i think u mean make 5 different triggers ?

 

[Chaosy]

No, adding the event with actions.

 

[deathismyfriend]

yes but u would still have to use the ITEs that i said. which is y i said just add a blank message to detect.

 

[Chaosy]

Ohh...
Somehow my brain filtered that out.

Then you would need 25 triggers, which could be kinda overkill.

Anyway choose your method depending on how many times the trigger(s) will be run
