[Trigger] String trigger help please.

[mmo.syre]

I cant find out whats wrong with this trigger. It uses the first two letters of the players name to tell set numbers to a player. However, it only seems to work for the last letter (z).

Any help would be appreciated.

Why do you use those (Triggering plauer) Equal to Player 1 (Red)?
You dont need those.

 

[mmo.syre]

True, but that shouldent have any effect as to why the trigger isiant working. This trigger is intended to work when a unit enters a region, for testing purposes i just changed the event from entering region, to a chat message.

Edit : Dunno if its going to help any or not, but all three variables above are string arrays.

I think becuase if you convert a string to a integer and the substring is a number is returns the value 0.

You'd have to build a charmap and then find the letter's position in it, as you can't get chars in Jass.

Integer(a) just comes out as 0, and so do all the other letters, which is why z, the last one, is the only one that works. There is a solution for this in JASS, by using the following function:

function StringHash takes string s returns integer
    return s
    return 0
endfunction

If you have patch v1.24 you can use the native (in-built function). I don't know if this is available in GUI in v1.24.

Sorry, im good with jass at the least, mind explaining what i should do please? ;x Btw, thanks for all the help in such a short time.

The problem is, StringHash("a") returns a huge negative number. Hashtables (available in patch 1.24) would be perfect for this. Without hashtables, however, I suggest Dr Super Good's solution.

 

[mmo.syre]

Mind pointing me where to go to find that solution?

Oops I meant PurplePoot's solution. Sorry.
