[JASS] Set name to entered chat-string?

[SomeRandomDeleted Dr. Cabbage0]

Hi there, I am usualy a GUI user, but sometimes GUI doesnt have what it takes.. And where that is.. JASS comes in handy!! ^^

So this is what i want help with:

How can i change the name for example "player 1" IF "player 1" types the chat message: -changename Lich King
________________
Example Before:
Player 1: Hi all ^^
-------------------
Example After:
Lich King: Hi all ^^
________________

Thx in advance!!

You use the player action to change the user name to the entered substring of triggering chat message.

You use the player types blah even to trigger the system.

Finally you add conditions for validation.

Well, that was actually what i was trying to do ^^

You mean like:

function Trig_NameChange_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call SetPlayerName( Player(1), GetEventPlayerChatString() )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_NameChange takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_NameChange = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_NameChange, Player(1), "-setname Lich King", false )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_NameChange, function Trig_NameChange_Actions )
endfunction

Yes but using substrings for removing the activator prefix and conditions to validate the input.

Here we go I think ^^

IT WORKED

I have been sitting here with the editor for weeks now, (unempleyed)..
My brain will soon blow up cause of all the thinking :/

function Trig_setname_P1_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call SetPlayerName( GetTriggerPlayer(), SubStringBJ(GetEventPlayerChatString(), 9, StringLength(GetEventPlayerChatString())) )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_setname_P1 takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_setname_P1 = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_setname_P1, Player(0), "-setname", false )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_setname_P1, function Trig_setname_P1_Actions )
endfunction

In case you want, this can be easly done in GUI like this

• Name System
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing Name as A substring
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing Name as A substring
    • Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing Name as A substring
    • Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing Name as A substring
    • Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing Name as A substring
    • Player - Player 6 (Orange) types a chat message containing Name as A substring
  • Conditions
    • (Substring((Entered chat string), 1, 4)) Equal to Name
  • Actions
    • Player - Set name of (Triggering player) to (Substring((Entered chat string), 6, (Length of (Entered chat string))))

Ghostwolf: Maaaan, that worked perfectly that also ^^
Thought I wouldnt be able to use GUI to that trigger..
I Guess Im not a master in Wc3 Editor :/

If you'll looke at your code, its exacly the same code converted into JASS
