[Trigger] Show text for one player

[Bwathke]

This is probably a really really easy trigger but I am really really rusty so I need to ask for some help. =P How would I make it so text comes up on the owner of triggering units screen?

Wasn't it like:

• Actions
  • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetTriggerPlayer() then
  • Game - Display to (All players) the text: bla
  • Custom script: endif

That seems to have worked, wont know for sure until I test it in MP but thanks a lot!

Hmm, this GUI function uses a ForForce in the background, right ?
Using a ForForce is ok in a local block ? (Each ForForce call will open a new thread)

If he's already using Custom scripts for GetLocalPlayer() better of using

• Custom script: call DisplayTimedTextToplayer(Player(GetPlayerId(GetTriggerPlayer())), 0, 0, 10, "Your MessageHere")

• Custom script: call DisplayTimedTextToplayer(Player(GetPlayerId(GetTriggerPlayer())), 0, 0, 10, "Your MessageHere")

"p" has to be capitalized and you can simplify the code to:

• Custom script: call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(GetTriggerPlayer(), 0, 0, 10, "Your Message Here")

But in general, I think you can also just change "All Players" in the code to Player 1 red or something, I don't remember if it creates a new force though. It might just return bj_FORCE_PLAYER

Just create a Player Group variable and change the (All players) with the variable, after that you will have to
call DestroyForce(udg_YourPlayerGroupVariable) to clean the Player Group leaks.

• Actions
  • Set pg = (Player group((Triggering player)))
  • Game - Display to pg the text: Hey bitchas
  • Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_pg)

Convert Player To Player Group

This is the GUI way, if you want the JASS way, just follow what Purge stated.
