"Player types a message" problem

[RapeCoder]

I can not use a variable on " Player - <need the variable> types a chat message containing <my message> As exact match. "

I have a variable called Host (Type of variable = Player), but i can not use it on the above line of trigger, why ?

*Edit* : Sorry for the prefix, didn't read the announcement.

Strange. Try creating a dummy unit for Host and set it to a variable, then use "owner of unit" in the event.

 

[Tirlititi]

You can add the event in an initialisation trigger with the action :

• Trigger - Add event

Do it after the setting of the variable "Host" cause it is not the variable which is linked to the event but the value of the variable when you add the event (that's why you can't add the event directly in the editor).

Tirlititi's method is the most efficient, but there's also the alternative of using:
Player 1 enters a chat message containing "message" as an exact match.
Player 2 enters a....

etc. repeated to fill all 12 player slots. Then using the condition "Triggering Player equal to Host".

Create two trigger...

First, Create a trigger named "something", then put your desired actions there. Do not put any events there.

Second, Create a new trigger named "init" and put Map Initialization in event. And for actions, add "For Loop from 1 to 12 Do Actions" and Add "Add Event - Add Something<gen> an event : Player(Integer A) type "-command" as exact...

for all commands in your map just use 2 triggers

• Map initialization 2
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Trigger - Add to Commands <gen> the event (Player - (Picked player) types a chat message containing - as A substring)

• Commands
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Substring((Entered chat string), 2, 8)) Equal to command
        • <Host> Equal to <Your Player>
      • Then - Actions
        • -------- you actions --------
      • Else - Actions

2,8 bacuse of "-" at beginning

Edit:
@Section,he does need to set Host variable on his own.....

Yea... ALiEN95 has cleared it all perfectly. But maybe it means like this?

• Map initialization 2
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Host = <theHost>
    • Trigger - Add to Commands <gen> the event (Player - Host types a chat message containing - as A substring)
