Trigger Response to Specific Name!

[DeMoN100]

Hello I am trying to make a trigger that only executes itself when a specific player name says the command.

For example lets say I wanted to make "thisexamplename" get all of blue players units when he says -give me blue. No matter what color "thisexamplename" is on the trigger will only work if his name says the command.

use a string condition

• (Name of (Triggering player)) Equal to examplename

I strongly advise against this.
If someone opens your map and see the trigger he can use that name for his own purposes.

This is for debugging purposes and the map will be protected when the time comes to release. I know its possible to deprotect a map but there are ways to cover that. I thank you for your concern but as of right now theres no need to worry.

Thank you for this information I have found it and will use it well. Under events when I put it as player - chat message do I have to assign this event over for every color or is there a possible way to make one event and have it set just to the name regardless of color?

Someone like myself can just open the map in MPQEdit, extract the JASS script file/files and then ctrl+F the appropriate triggers to know what key names were used. I did this over a decade ago to LoaP Resident Evil where I spoofed the creators name to get access to his cheats.

There is no such concept as map protection. One can damage or corrupt maps to prevent World Edit from working on them directly but there are still other ways to edit them and reading from a map is always trivial.

What does it have to do with color at all? If you mean players then yes, you must assign the even for every player. In GUI one can make a loop to do this by using the actions to dynamically add events to another trigger in an initialization trigger. With JASS you can write a simple loop in the initialization function.

Since player names are case insensitive you will want to make sure to convert the case of the player name to either upper or lower case before comparing. This makes the trigger more robust.

When I leave debug stuff in I always print a message to all players that debug features have been activated. Even if malicious players get access to them, everyone else will immediately know.

Alright thanks one more question how do I make it that all of one players units and buildings change owners to the person who said the command? I think I got it figured out but I wanted to be sure so heres a screenshot did I do this right?

The trigger makes no sense. There is no picked unit in the context.

Pick every unit in unit group consisting of all units owned by the target player. Then for each of those units change ownership of the picked unit to triggering player. Basically use a for unit in unit group loop instead of a for player in player group loop.

Do you mean like this?

Do you mean like this?

change matching player to triggering player or whatever event response refers to "player who typed the chat string", there is no "matching player"

there is no "matching player"

Exactly...
