[Spartipilo]

Hi! I'm trying to remove abilities based on -forget (like GoH) but I'm having problems with it.

• (Substring((Entered chat string), 9, (Length of (Entered chat string)))) Equal to (Name of Skill[(Integer A)])

Start from 9 not 8.

Additonaly:
- you could replace (Integer A) with custom integer parameter
- add conditions from placement of "-forget":

• Forget Skill
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -forget as A substring
  • Conditions
    • (Substring((Entered chat string), 1, 7)) Equal to -forget

I followed your first and third suggestions. Didn't understand the second one Replace (Interger A) with what? which custom integer parameter?... I mean,I have like 8 (Interger A)

It didn't work though =/ I'm testing with '-forget Throw Rock' and doesn't remove the skill.

Edit: Works doing it the 'dumb' way:

Omg, I see that second part of "substring" comparison is bad too. I've omited it, in case I was in hurry.

• (Substring((Entered chat string), 9, (Length of (Entered chat string)))) Equal to (Name of Skill[(Integer A)])

It's an comparison found in 'String' -> Game - Ability Name. Btw, you haven't even declared 'SkillName[]' in first script.

I'm lost in the mid of everything... I'm confused

EDIT: It took my some time, but I finally understood everything. Edited the triggers in the first post to the one I actually have working. Thanks a lot for your help
