Showing player names in team color in special messages.

[Japut3h]

When showing special messages,theres an option to show player name.

For example

(Player name of(owner of(Triggering Unit)) + Has killed (Player name of(owner of(Killed Unit))

comes out like

Player 1 Has killed Player 2

I want to know if its possible to show the player names in their team color without adding color codes to strings.

It should be like this:

Player 1 Has killed Player 2

Any help will be appreciated.

You need to have color codes.
But you can set them in a string array if you want to:
Set PlayerColor[1] = Color Here
Set PlayerColor[2] = Color Here
...
And then call the variable instead of typing the color codes all the time.

Thats so troublesome...

Which code should i use to call the variable?

This is a simple, yet effective way, of doing it...

Setup:

• Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set PlayerColor[1] = (|CFFFF0000 + ((Name of Player 1 (Red)) + |r))
    • Set PlayerColor[2] = (|CFF0000FF + ((Name of Player 2 (Blue)) + |r))

Show Text:

• Show Text
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Dying unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    • (Owner of (Killing unit)) Equal to Player 2 (Blue)
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 15.00 seconds the text: (PlayerColor[1] + ( got pawned by + (PlayerColor[2] + !!!)))
