[Trigger] Problems with String

[Zelloxy]

• Game - Display to (All players) the text: (((Wave + (String(WaveLevel))) + incoming:) + ((String(WaveLevelAmount[WaveLevel])) + ( + (String(WaveUnitType[WaveLevel])))))

This works perfectly just except that the last string that's supposed to be written out just says "custom n00b" and I honestly don't know why since I haven't set ANY variables to that and it should just say the Name of the Unit-Type of the current level. Or isn't it possible to do it this easy?

If you didn't get it, what I was wondering about was if this string:

• Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String(Footman))

would show up as Footman, otherwise how do I do to print the units name when I've got the Unit-Type :S

Thanks

What are you meaning??
Do you want the footman to have a name, want that string before footman to be its hp, dmg or what? If you only want it to be footman then remove the string in start of footman and just write it....

Maybe this is what you mean (or somethig like that) Correct?

• Game - Display to (All players) for 30.00 seconds the text: (This unit is a + (Name of (Triggering unit)))

To be exact I want:

• Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String(WaveUnitType[WaveLevel]))

Where WaveUnitType is an array of the type Unit-Type and WaveLevel is an integer. I've already preset the WaveUnitType to a certain Unit-Type I want to be shown later using this trigger. The Unit-Type already inserted into the WaveUnitType array is a custom unit and therefor it shows the text "custom xxxx" instead of the units acctual name. Anyone know how I can go around this or change the trigger?

You could use the name one I postet together with you own trigger. Then It would use the name of the wave unit and not the unittype...

 

[Zelloxy]

RED BARON, that wouldn't work. Since the text is supposed to be written out before the unit would spawn or whatever is going to happen. I just want this trigger to type out what Unit-Type is stored within that variable, and it doesn't work since all I get is "custom xxxx" :/

Hmm ya I see the problem, but didnt know it was so in your map...
Then because I dont have WEU infront of me right now, I can only get this idea: Spawn the next wave units in a not playable room and use name trigger, then move the spawned unit to the waveunits startposition. But a bit complicatet way to do it. But would work.
Else you can always just write it all for each wave.
Meaning, chach condition it is unittype: (the unit type would be the custom blabla, but it would be able to use it as a condition, if true write the name you self wrote fiting the unittype condition. Would be massive amount of if mulitable actions. Forst idea better.
Cant think up something better at this time. Maybe I return with new idea.
Ps. Hope this makes sense.

@ map init make string variable that is an array with the number of waves you have, set each one to what that level would be.

 

[RED BARON]

Perfect Ghost. That was the ting I had in mind when I wrote that last part. But forgot that array was involved. This makes it easy

I did an array containing for each 'level' what I wanted to be written out, but I still think that's the easy way out. Really ugly solution
