[Trigger] Substrings

[-Berz-]

I have red some threads about substrings, but still I didn't get the answer...

So I'm asking how do actually substrings work
Substring("Grunts stink", 2,4)= "run" is a bad example(dunno maybe is just me who don't gets it)

Would someone be that nice and explain it to me?

e.g. what does substring(lol, 1,5) do?

Thanks

Substring("Grunts stink", 2,4) takes all letters and signs between the second and fourth letter/sign. In this case: Grunts stink.

Oh, that makes sense now

Thanks for your explanation 8)

But how to use this substrings for anything specific?

e.g. I type: "gold 528" or "gold 1258" and it gives me the typed number of gold?

 

[Paladon]

If you type "-addgold 1337", the Substring("-addgold 1337",10,100) returns the number of gold added in a string.

Awesome!

Thank you almighty Paladon! =)

Edit:

Another problem...

if i use this:

• Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing (Substring(-agi, 6, 7)) as An exact match

it doesn't matter if i type "-str 15" or "-agi 15" it gives 15 to all stars(i have the different triggers for each atribute) it looks like it just picks up he substring...

So i tried this: string + substring(_, 6, 7)

• Add Strength
  • Events
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing (-str + (Substring( , 6, 7))) as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Y_Map_Point[4] = (Center of (Playable map area))
    • Set Y_Wish_Group[1] = (Units within 5000.00 of Y_Map_Point[4] matching ((((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) and (((Owner of (Matching unit)) Equal to Player 2 (Blue)) and (((Matching unit) is selected by Player 2 (Blue)) Equal to True))))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Y_Wish_Group[1] and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Hero - Modify Strength of (Picked unit): Add (Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 6, 7))))
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Y_Map_Point[4])
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Y_Wish_Group[1])

But nothing happens :S

Any ideas how to fix this matter?

Thanks!

Use a general "player types a message" event. Then add a condition checking the first part of the string, then the second.

Right?...

I'll manage it somehow 8)

For the end of the substring do this:
Unit - Set (Last created unit) movement speed to (Real((Substring((Entered chat string), 1, (Length of (Entered chat string))))))
And ur not the only one who didnt understand the stupid example blizzard made. I had to ask someone before i saw what they were talkin bout lol
for that other problem you had just do player types -str as a substring.
Heres some examples i have of substring stuff (cheats for a map im makin )
The nullify thing is good for ppl that are annoying and that you dont want in ur game, but it doesnt kick them (kicking sometimes causes crashes or whatever i guess)

nullify

• nullify
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -nullify as A substring
  • Conditions
    • (Name of (Triggering player)) Equal to (==) wolfman
  • Actions
    • Cinematic - Turn on letterbox mode (hide interface) for (All players matching ((Name of (Matching player)) Equal to (==) (Substring((Entered chat string), 10, (Length of (Entered chat string)))))): fade out over 2.00 seconds
      • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Substring((Entered chat string), 10, (Length of (Entered chat string)))) Equal to (==) wolfman
        • Then - Actions
          • Wait 5.00 seconds
          • Cinematic - Turn off letterbox mode (show interface) for (All players matching ((Name of (Matching player)) Equal to (==) wolfman)): fade in over 2.00 seconds
        • Else - Actions

unnullify

• unnullify
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -unnullify as A substring
  • Conditions
    • (Name of (Triggering player)) Equal to (==) wolfman
  • Actions
    • Cinematic - Turn off letterbox mode (show interface) for (All players matching ((Name of (Matching player)) Equal to (==) (Substring((Entered chat string), 12, (Length of (Entered chat string)))))): fade in over 2.00 seconds

gold

• gold
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -gold as A substring
  • Conditions
    • (Name of (Triggering player)) Equal to (==) wolfman
  • Actions
    • Player - Add (Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 7, (Length of (Entered chat string)))))) to (Triggering player) Current gold

lvl

• level
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -lvl as A substring
  • Conditions
    • (Name of (Triggering player)) Equal to (==) wolfman
  • Actions
    • Set TempUnitGroup = (Units currently selected by (Triggering player))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempUnitGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Hero - Set (Picked unit) Hero-level to (Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 6, (Length of (Entered chat string)))))), Show level-up graphics
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TempUnitGroup)

Hmmm, I've got an idea now

It REALLY works! =)

Thanks!
