[Trigger] Silence Player

[warden13]

I need a trigger to silence all players (not silence skill) they can't talk. If it's not impossible.

 

[Razorbrain]

i dont think that is possible, but you can make a lock so that when a player types something they get a penalty of some kind

 

[Dr Super Good]

By entering everyone into cinimatic mode you can not type, but you also can not move.

Anyway, even if you managed to work around that the /w command still works and since it does not trigger any events it can not be stopped.

 

[warden13]

If you played D3F14NC3's ORPG there is a chat system like i needed.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Does not work, you can still /w and look at the chat log which shows everything typed. Well anyway someone explained how to do that somewhere on this site, try using our search function and looking for it.

How most games do a silence command (in my experience..) is to change a players name to a TON of spaces. Not very practical, though, as it messes up other things.

I'm going to take a wild guess that when a player enter a chat he is temporary set to talk to observer only. But hell, there seem to be no function that can do that. I'll ask Redscull and see how he does it; hopefully he'll answer.

You'll get your answer one way or another.

If i cant find out and Redscull doesn't replay within a week; i'll hack defiance and see how it's done (hopefully) ! You'll get your answer one way or another.

Discussion of hacking and deprotecting maps is forbidden on this forums.

for the event, you could have every letter character possible separate as a substring when they type.

• Events
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing a as A substring
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing b as A substring
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing c as A substring
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing d as A substring

and so on

 

[PurplePoot]

By the time it detects that, the test is already through.

Also, you can use "" as a substring. You'll have 1/26th as many events

Also also, your way, what if I say "|-|3110" or "HELLO"?

mine is just an Example

 

[PurplePoot]

No offense, but bad examples are often worse than none; it would be hellish for him if he took it seriously. If you actually want to post an example, at least try to make it one that's efficient and good

 

[warden13]

So, Is it impossible?

  • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing a as A substring
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing b as A substring
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing c as A substring
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing d as A substring

and so on

You could just do

Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz as A substring

it will work the same

 

[YoshiRyu]

Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz as A substring

it will work the same

no it won't

your uggly event work for string which contain "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", not for string which contain "a" or "b" or "c" ...

 

[Warlord_HU]

Just import this whit war3mapSkin.txt file patch.

 

[PurplePoot]

That doesn't allow for a silence... It's works all the time, to everyone.

And seriously guys, use "". It works for 100% of strings. ("" meaning empty string, strings are enclosed in quotes in JASS... (that's where all my terminology, etc, comes from))

 

[Jaeron]

Well Redscull said he uses the changing of allies to enemies contemporary (at the beginning of the game) to prevent players from talking to other allies. If this does not satisfy you then, say so.

So, Is it impossible?

I highly doubt it. If you see it done, then it can be done!

Since i do not have Defiance and have not played for several years i do not know what system it uses. Does defiance only silence player in the beginning of the game?

 

[warden13]

I need a silence mode which you can select it at the begining. If host choses the silence mode all players be silenced.

What is a trigger creation thread doing in this forum? This belongs in the Triggers (GUI) forum.

Theres a tutorial on this web i used in one of my games that was used in RDZ Arena. What it does is change [All] and all that to spaces so you cant see message anywhere. Then everytime any player types something it displys his message as text. u can add condition that will check if player is silenced and if he is, nnot display his message


I found it
heres the link:
ENJOY!

 

[PurplePoot]

war3mapSkin.txt was already posted above -.-, in case people actually wanted to do that.

 

[HamzahA]

it is possible to hide chat, even for some players.. but i dont know how, because in dota you can ignore some players! just deprotect it and see

haha , a better idea : make a player sends a <empty string> and it work!

 

[Razorbrain]

maybe force everyone to squelch all players, and then unsquelch?

 

[orca8767]

It's Possible... Just play the SWAT maps, and you'll see. In the beginning, it doesn't let anyone except you see your chat. It goes for all players. It was mainly for making it so other people couldn't steal your load code. I have no clue how it works, though.

 

[PurplePoot]

They probably change the name of other players locally... who knows.
