Personal messages, this is something I've always wondered about

 

[defskull]

Press F12 and select options on who do you want the message to be sent to ?

 

[Fjury]

I was more thinking about ingame messages, custom warnings, that goes to a specefic player.

Edit: They've always gone to playergroups for me.

Use one of the preset player groups, like ''Player Group - Player 1 (Red)''.

that's what im doing, but unfortunatly - it doesn't work <.<

Should work, do PlayerGroup(Owner of(Triggering Unit))
If I get Your meaning

I've got idea you can make trigger that use chat string with command + player's number + message , but it's useless couse u can send him priv and if you want to make it by chat message like in my idea you must write it on chat and it will be visible to others ;/

If you want i can make trigger that will works like that but i think Private Messages are better ;P

 

[Vizel]

Private messages don't work for game messages, MooNek. If I understand, anyway. Private Messages are an in-game thing, and not... yeah.

This works, but i mean about floating texts

 

[Tiche3]

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUmping meh post. I need help with floating texts to make them able to be seen only by one player.

Tiche3.

I severely doubt your request is possible. Due to the nature of Floating texts, I think the only way to make it do what you want is to find a different engine. Just send a message to a specific player, cause you can't use Floating Texts to do that.

Are you serious?

Simply use this function:

• Floating Texts
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Floating Text - Show (Last created floating text) for (All players)
    • Floating Text - Show (Last created floating text) for Player Group - Player 1 (Red)
    • Floating Text - Show (Last created floating text) for Player Group - Player 2 (Blue)
    • Floating Text - Hide (Last created floating text) for (All players)
    • Floating Text - Hide (Last created floating text) for Player Group - Player 1 (Red)
    • Floating Text - Hide (Last created floating text) for Player Group - Player 2 (Blue)
• etc.

If that works, then, awesome. I didn't actually check it out, cause I didn't think it was possible because of the nature of floating text. If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong, and you fixed the problem, so then hurray! Problem solved.

You are wrong, but this incident could have easily been avoided.

Now, you say that you didn't think it was possible to do it, whereas in your other post you clearly said that it was not possible to do so, with utmost certainty.

My point being, next time, check before you affirm something that you don't know and mislead people. Only takes a minute and saves a whole lotta trouble.

 

[Vizel]

Don't talk to people like that.

You never know who's crazy on the other side of the screen.

 

[Battle_Shipper]

Don't talk to people like that.

Don't talk to people like what? My comment to you was simply a suggestion about how you could contribute better next time. Whether you take it or not doesn't concern me. If you choose to ignore it, then it's fine by me.

Now what is this supposed to mean? Are you threatening me?

 

[defskull]

Do not feed the trolls.

As I know you're referring to Game - Text and not Floating Text, right?

If that's the case, you can by changing (All players) to (All players matching condition)

So if the trigger meets a condition, you can send the message with the function Player - Player Comparison

An example if unit meets condition: All players matching (Matching Player) Equal to (Owner of (Triggering Unit))
Or for a player condition: All players matching (Matching Player) Equal to (Triggering Player)
These two are basic, you may learn others from these in my opinion.

Hope I helped
