(Unit - Owner of Unit) Types a Chat Message

[mythplatypuspwned]

Since the "Player Types a Chat Message" Trigger won't Accept a Player Variable, I tried to use "Owner of Unit" Instead, then change control of the unit.
But the Trigger won't work even if the Player owns the unit. Can someone help?

What are you trying to do?

Well, I'm trying to select the player that can enable some triggers with a chat message, while the other players can't.
I already made the trigger to select that player. I set that player as a variable, but I found out that Variable Players can't be used in the "Player Types a Chat Message" Action. I made a Unit to change control to the selected player, but when I used the "(Unit - Owner of Unit) Types a Chat Message, the triggers wouldn't work.

You could use a condition, owner of unit == triggering player. Or triggering player == player variable

Okay, I'll try that. But I'm not at home right now and World Editor won't work on this computer.

But Admin can mark this a Solved now, because I don't think I'll reply to this thread again. Thanks.

Wait, What Event will I use then? Doesn't "Player Types a Chat Message" Require to specify a player?

You can register the event for all players.

• Events :
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions:
• Actions:
  • Trigger - Add to 'Your Trigger' The Event 'Your Event' ## Thus You can use Variables ##
• For Example
  • Trigger - Add to -kill The Event (Player (Owner Of Triggering Unit) Chat event : (-kill) As an Exact Match)

jonhysone you can't do that as you need the condition.

When the unit changes ownership the trigger event does not change. It is better to register event for all players like Maker said.
Then you use a condition to make sure that player owns the specific unit.

I didn't really understand what he said :/

 

[deathismyfriend]

I didn't really understand what he said :/

You should then ask someone to explain better.

basically when you register an event to a trigger it registers the owner of unit.
This means that if the owner of the unit is player 1 red it registers that event only to player 1 red. When the owner of the unit changes the event never changes.

You could use a condition, owner of unit == triggering player. Or triggering player == player variable

I tried both of those. Neither of them Worked.

Did you
a.) Register the event for Player 1-12?
b.) Do the condition right?
c.) Do the actions right?

 

[mythplatypuspwned]

I only want the trigger to work for one player, so I made a trigger to select the first Human-Controlled player on the map. Then I set that player as a Variable.

But since the "Player Typed a Chat Message" Action won't accept a Variable as a Player, I made a Unit to change control to the selected player.

But when I set the action to "!Unit - Owner of Unit) Types a Chat Message", The trigger won't work even if the player owns the unit.

 

[Vinz]

Have you been reading the conversation above? This would be solved if you actually did.

 

[mythplatypuspwned]

Oh. So I should make a "Player types a chat Message" Event for all players, then Make a condition "Triggering Player is Equal to (Unit - Owner of Unit)" or "Triggering Player is Equal to [Variable]"
