Player na

Ok so light blue builds a tower with spells that other plAyers Can use but when another player uses a spell I want a message appear and say

"__________ has casted a spell from light blues tower."

How do I make the trigger say the players name?

That shows light blue's name not the player who casted it

There is no way to detect which players does what, on a unit that it is shared among several players.

You could however set up a variable whenever a player selects the unit and then when the unit casts the ability, the last one to select him, if it's not light blue, wiill show it's name in the text. It could bug a bit if another player selects the unit before the first player casts the ability but. Here:

• Events
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
  • Player - Player 3 (Teal) Selects a unit
  • Player - Player 4 (Purple) Selects a unit
  • Ect.
• Conditions
  • (Triggering unit) Equal to (Your Unit)
• Actions
  • Set PlayerName = (Name of (Triggering player))

and this one:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Your Spell
• Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • PlayerName Not equal to (Name of Player 10 (Light Blue))
    • Then - Actions
      • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (PlayerName + has casted a spell from light blue's Tower.)
    • Else - Actions
      • Do nothing

Hope it helps

You could also just have it change the units ownership when its selected by the other players for a moment and then show the name of the owning player's name.

Still, if Player 1 (Red) selects the building and after some seconds Player 4 (Yellow) also selects it, but Red doesn't have it deselected, and the ability is cast, then you still can't know which player fired the ability.

Oh, sorry, my mistake. I thought you mean other players can put units in that tower or something.
Pharaoh_ is right. It is undetectable.
