[Trigger] Prefixes for Chat Commands

[Bain_Rebirth]

I am unsure if anyone remembers such maps as SotDRP or the like, but I am currently trying to recreate some features for my own personal use on a map with a friend. I preface this with that I am new to coding although I understand most of the logic that goes into it. My only problem is actually finding the things in the GUI menus.

I will likely have more questions if anyone wishes to help me more in-depth on chat messages but I will just start with this question.

How do I make an event recognizing a prefix? such as a "." so when I type ".hello" it will post hello as a floating text.

String comparison. Check that substring 1,1 = .

• Events
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing . as A substring

upd:

• example
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing <Empty String> as A substring
  • Conditions
    • (Substring((Entered chat string), 1, 1)) Equal to .
  • Actions
    • Set str = (Substring((Entered chat string), 2, (Length of (Entered chat string))))
    • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads str above Ghoul 0006 <gen> with Z offset 16.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency

That will register regardless of where in the chat message the period is. "Hey. Stop that!" will satisfy that substring event.

Right. Forgot about that.
