Text Codes

[RobertMKD]

• MonsterKiller
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit owned by Player 12 (Brown) Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Monster
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: The Monster was slaughtered by + (Name of (Owner of (Killing Unit)))!

I want to add the player's name in this text example, but it doesn't works.. I've seen this: (Name of (Triggering Player)) + in some places, but that doesn't work neither.. I've also tried with this (Name of (Player 1 (Red))) Does somebody know all of these codes to show player's gold, name, points(variable) etc etc in a text, or where can I find a list of em?

Hmm... this looks fine, maybe your event/condition is wrong or they are "uncompatible"?

In anycase, add something like:

Create unit for Testing_Player at Some_Point

To check if it is woking at all.

Testing player being the player you are testing with
Some point can be anywhere, use the default, centre of map

Okay, I really never tested this one, I just made it as an example, but (Name of (Player 1 (Red))) doesn't work, and it's causing me big problems :/

 

[nedio95]

Huh, only for player 1 or what ? If so... huh ? what ? maybe the player name is empty ?

Otherwise I stick to my first post.
Check if the unit is acualy owned by player 12 brown.
Check if teh unit is actualy of type Monster
Check if there IS a killing unit, not killed by triggered damage or if so the damage has a valid unit source.

there isn't much to go wrong in such a simple trigger...

Hmmm, nope, it shows the text like it's written: (Name of (Player 1 (Red))) + is afk. .... instead of: RobertMKD is afk.

Use addition of strings. You will NOT really type that (Name of ...) but select concatenate strings

I didn't understand what you said, can you talk more clearly please?

Ooooooh, I see what you did there now


I believe you just typed the thing into the text box, well it does not work like this.
It is not a text code, it is a concatenated string.

From teh dropdown menu chose "concatenated string"
you should see something like:
string1 + string2
In teh first red string type in "The Monster was slaughtered by"
In teh second red string chose from the dropdown menus the value which you want to turn into text.

^this is already a very clear explanation. This is what I meant
