Trigger help needed

[Tarthis]

Two questions here how do you make a change name trigger and will somone help me make a tutorial on how to play the map I'm working on.

 

[Dreadnought[dA]]

English please. To change a triggers name, just click it 3 times.

 

[Tarthis]

You have ALOT of -reps...
Anyway, for the name changing trigger, I think there's a tutorial on it in the tutorials section.
But basically put, its something like this.

• [[trigger]
• Rename Simple
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -name as A substring
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -name as A substring
  • Conditions
    • (Substring((Entered chat string), 1, 6)) Equal to -name
  • Actions
    • -------- Note: Theres a space after -name. --------
    • -------- You will need for this trigger... --------
    • -------- //A String Variable named NewName --------
    • -------- --------
    • -------- This is a simple rename trigger. --------
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Length of (Entered chat string)) Greater than 27
      • Then - Actions
        • -------- This takes everything after -name_ and adds it to NewName as long as its no longer then 20 characters. --------
        • Set NewName = (Substring((Entered chat string), 7, 27))
        • -------- If it is longer, it only takes 20, as shown above. --------
      • Else - Actions
        • Set NewName = (Substring((Entered chat string), 7, (Length of (Entered chat string))))
        • -------- If not, it takes all. --------
    • Player - Set name of (Triggering player) to NewName
    • -------- But what if you wanted to make it so players couldn't frame other players? --------
    • -------- Or frame you even, the creator of your map? --------
    • -------- What if you wanted to know who someones Original Name was before they changed it? --------
    • -------- Well this is all going to be explained, yay! --------

So what if you want to make a trigger that checks if it’s ok for the player to have that name. By ok I mean that it does not conflict with another player’s current name, original name, or any name on the BlockedName list I told you to make before.

OriginalName keeps track of the players original name, incase anyone wants to check who they are, and so no one gets mixed up. BlockedName is a list of 12 names that you want no one to change their name to in-game, like your name, so no one can frame you. But what happens if you join the game and your name is blocked? Well we can fix that too!

• Rename
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -name as A substring
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -name as A substring
  • Conditions
    • (Substring((Entered chat string), 1, 6)) Equal to -name
  • Actions
    • -------- Note: Theres a space after -name. --------
    • -------- You will need for this trigger... --------
    • -------- //A String Variable named NewName --------
    • -------- //A Boolean Variable named NameVio (Stands for NameViolation) --------
    • -------- --------
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Length of (Entered chat string)) Greater than 27
      • Then - Actions
        • -------- This takes everything after -name_ and adds it to NewName as long as its no longer then 20 characters. --------
        • Set NewName = (Substring((Entered chat string), 7, 27))
        • -------- If it is longer, it only takes 20, as shown above. --------
      • Else - Actions
        • Set NewName = (Substring((Entered chat string), 7, (Length of (Entered chat string))))
        • -------- If not, it takes all. --------
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • NewName Equal to OriginalName[(Player number of (Triggering player))]
      • Then - Actions
        • -------- This simply checks if the NewName is actually the players original name. --------
        • Player - Set name of (Triggering player) to NewName
        • Set PlayerName[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = ((Substring(PlayerName[(Player number of (Triggering player))], 1, 10)) + (NewName + |r))
        • Skip remaining actions
        • -------- If so, then it skips the rest, theres no point in continuing. --------
      • Else - Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • -------- For each integer is a loop action that goes through once for each number --------
        • -------- (Integer A) = The number of the current loop. --------
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
              • Conditions
                • NewName Equal to (Name of (Player((Integer A))))
                • NewName Equal to OriginalName[(Integer A)]
                • NewName Equal to BlockedName[(Integer A)]
          • Then - Actions
            • -------- If - Or Any Condtions are True is on the bottom of the action menu. --------
            • -------- If you have more then 12 BlockedNames, you will have to edit this to check all of them. --------
            • -------- If it detects that the requested NewName is equal to any of the following... --------
            • -------- --The Current name of a player. --------
            • -------- --The Original Name of a player. --------
            • -------- --A Name on your Blocked Names list --------
            • Set NameVio = True
            • -------- It will set NameVio = True, which means the players name isn't going to be changed... --------
            • -------- To what he/she wants anyway :). --------
          • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • NameVio Equal to False
      • Then - Actions
        • -------- NameVio = False, no collision! The game will allow them to have that new name. --------
        • Player - Set name of (Triggering player) to NewName
        • Set PlayerName[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = ((Substring(PlayerName[(Player number of (Triggering player))], 1, 10)) + (NewName + |r))
        • -------- The Substring 1,10 is the Color Code. --------
        • -------- This Sets PlayerName = (The First 10 Characters of PlayerName(The Color Code)) + NewName + (|r) --------
      • Else - Actions
        • Set NewName = Stupid Idiot
        • -------- Aha!, a collision was detected, then now their new name will be Stupid Idiot. --------
        • -------- That'll teach them for trying to mess with people. --------
        • Player - Set name of (Triggering player) to NewName
        • Set PlayerName[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = ((Substring(PlayerName[(Player number of (Triggering player))], 1, 10)) + (NewName + |r))

TRIGGER]

The above is the part you wanted, here's the full tutorial: http://wc3campaigns.net/showpost.php?p=830809&postcount=1.
Remember to take a look at it.

 

[Tarthis]

Thanks now how do u make a tutorial

 

[RED BARON]

You write it....

And if you want it implanted in map::

Either write it in quest as a optional or a reguired quest.

OR write it as a textmessage which appear 20 seconds after the map begins

OR write it as a textmessage with a trigger, where you write "show tutorial" as a text message to see it.

 

[Tarthis]

[madcd]

Theres an Add-on for WE that you require I think in order to change a player name. If there is it will wbe in the tutorial somewhere.

[XX_Noob]

.. guys just ignore this guy, his selfish, he expect to get everything served for him on a silver plate, and if it is not, he go completely insane.

Also Zack1996, your trigger works just fine.. its actually quite good tho I needed to make a few adjustments, I'd be happy to come tomorrow to fix it.

 

[t3h b055]

i agree with XX_Noob, plus it would help him a lot if he could figure it out on his own.
