[General] Several questions

[Kusanagi Kuro]

1/Can I display 1 dialog (note that this dialog has been set to a Variable) to several players at the same time?
2/What is the Player Index? I see it in convert - player index to player
3/I want when the player type -ally (number), they will be ally with the player with that player index. So I make a trigger like this:

• Ally
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -ally as A substring
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -ally as A substring
    • Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -ally as A substring
    • Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing -ally as A substring
    • Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing -ally as A substring
    • Player - Player 6 (Orange) types a chat message containing -ally as A substring
    • Player - Player 7 (Green) types a chat message containing -ally as A substring
    • Player - Player 8 (Pink) types a chat message containing -ally as A substring
    • Player - Player 10 (Light Blue) types a chat message containing -ally as A substring
    • Player - Player 11 (Dark Green) types a chat message containing -ally as A substring
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player - Make (Triggering player) treat (Player((Integer((Entered chat string))))) as an Ally with shared vision and full shared units

However, I cannot test it (since I'm alone and my computer isnt strong enough). So is there any problems with that trigger?
Another question: If I have 10 players but the last player is in position Dark Green (player 11), then will the Player Index change?

1- Yes, you can use a loop or display message to force (player group)

2- It's the player number Player 1 is Player(1) and so on.

3- You have to use substring.

1 -
2 a
3 l
4 l
5 y
6
7 #

Substring takes a part of a string. You have to take Substring((Entered Chat String), 7, 8).

as said u have to change the entered string to substring.

u can use JNGP 2.0
there is a multi session tool that will allow multiple wc3 windows on one pc. u can then test it in local connection by urself

1 -wc3 dialogs? of course... most TD's that I played displays dialogs at the start to all players for voting...

2- It's the player number Player 1 is Player(1) and so on.

NO, Player 1's index is 0 [Player(0)]

 

[deathismyfriend]

In GUI players 1s index is actually 1.
In jass the index is 0

 

[Tonex]

And you have to check if substring(1, 6)=-ally

 

[deathismyfriend]

Thanks tonex I forgot to mention that

 

[Tonex]

"Well, 7 type -ally <number>" results in the player allying player 7.

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Can anyone explain a little bit more about this: Substring((Entered Chat string),7,8). What does the part "7,8" means?

 

[deathismyfriend]

its the numbers for the text to tell were u tell the code to start the substring from.
ex: lets say -ally 2
the - is number 1, the a is number 2 and so on.
so telling it to pick number 7 for the start and 8 is the end number.
look at my tutorial for more on substrings.

Another question: If I have 10 players but the last player is in position Dark Green (player 11), then will the Player Index change?

 

[Adiktuz]

Nope... It depends on position and not on number of players

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Oh man ==. That would be bad for my triggers. But okay. Thks a lot guys. Case closed. )

 

[Adiktuz]

why? Isn't it a good thing since you don't need to adjust things?

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Well, at my previous thread, I have asked for permission for a map and now I'm editing it. (Just for play with my friends and not posting on any site since the author havent replied yet, actually, he has dropped that map and disappear ). In that map, there is 10 player (1 to 11, not include the Gray player (player 9)) so it messed up with some of my new triggers.

 

[Adiktuz]

IDK, but theoretically, if ur using Player index, there shouldn't be any problem...

BTW, you can always check if a player slot is used

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Can we convert the player slot number into integer?
P/s: Is "Player Number" the same with "Player Index"?

 

[Adiktuz]

I think so... That's what I normally use...

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Then solved XD. It's my fault for leaving WE in a long time .

Then solved XD. It's my fault for leaving WE in a long time .

That's ok just catch up by looking at some of the tutorials to refresh ur memory. Also take a look at my tutorial it has a lot of useful info that can help just about any GUIer. It's called things a GUIer should know. There a link in my sig.

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

I know. . Just read through it. . But I will look at it more when I have time.

 

[deathismyfriend]

Ok lol
