just a sujestion, i dont know for sure but i thinks theres a trigger that mutes what a player says. Perhaps u can mute what player "bob" says but ur other trigger "theif" will still be heard?

just a thought

What your asking is not possile with the current editor.

Basically, as what i can tell your saying if me, Empire-Cruncham, hits enter, types 'Hello', and hits enter again, it'll say Theif: Sup guys instead of Empire-Cruncha: Sup guys.

If that's all well and dandy no, it's not possible, as far as I know. If anyone knows how to do this then cool, that helps a lot.

What he means is this (i also want to know how)

You select a unit for example (you have a peon, you select it)

You type: "<enter> I am the super peon! <enter> "

Then suddenly, NOT where normal text appears, but in the background area i think, this appears:

Peon: I am the super peon!

how u do that? (is it like 'text - show'?)

Also, i need to know how to detect what someone types like:

if they type "spawn 01 peasant" is it possible to make it spawn 1 peasant, without me making 10 million triggers 1 for each unit?

 

[IceDevil9]

Well, that CAN be done, I think, and it is done using 'Unit-PLayer Selects A Unit-' and the text message. Also it would probably involce Game-Display Text message <Explicitly Timed>

-Frank

 

[tassadar920]

So what your saying is i should do this:

variable 1 = null
variable 2 = null

Events-
Player-chat message
- Player 1 (red) types a chat message containing \ as an exact match
Conditions-
None
Actions-
set variable 1 = (name of unit currently selected)
set variable 2 = last displayed chat message
display text for all players showing = variable1, (remove\ somehow) and variable 2

 

[IceDevil9]

I suppose you could do that, I'm not even sure, never had to use, nor do I ever think I will..

[tassadar920]

well im making a rp map so maybe someone has an idea of how to really do it?

 

[Darimus]

arg fools! it always takes some1 as skilled as me... oh well your lucky im here to do these things for you

RP Chat
Events
Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing = as A substring
Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing = as A substring
Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing = as A substring
Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing = as A substring
Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing = as A substring
Conditions
Actions
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units currently selected by (Triggering player)) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
(Owner of (Picked unit)) Equal to (Triggering player)
Then - Actions
Game - Display to (All players) for 30.00 seconds the text: ((|c009A0000 + (Name of (Picked unit))) + |r + ( + (Substring((Entered chat string), 2, 200)))))
Else - Actions
Do nothing

 

[Darimus]

use this instead (it checks if = is in the front not just anywhere in the chat)

RP Chat
Events
Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing = as A substring
Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing = as A substring

Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing = as A substring
Conditions
Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
(Substring((Entered chat string), 1, 1)) Equal to =
Then - Actions
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units currently selected by (Triggering player)) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
(Owner of (Picked unit)) Equal to (Triggering player)
Then - Actions
Game - Display to (All players) for 30.00 seconds the text: ((|c009A0000 + (Name of (Picked unit))) + |r + ( + (Substring((Entered chat string), 2, 200)))))
Else - Actions
Do nothing
Else - Actions
Do nothing




by the way its basically: =hi and if u have a peon selected then it becomes Peon: Hi

 

[tassadar920]

woah thanks so much .

 

[Darimus]

if you send me the map i'll do some triggers 4 you or somethin

 

[playing_wc3x]

I have a question. Is there a way to make units say what you type when you make a cinema? or is it not possible without a micrphone or something.

 

[Darimus]

As in a sound ? or display it?

 

[Darimus]

I'll figure out how to do Spawn 01 peasent when I get home, but, it might be easier to place all the units in the map have it so when you select it, it is placed... but if you really want spawn 01 peasent then ill find out when i get home and can use the WE

RP Spawn

Else - Actions
Game - Display to (Player group((Triggering player))) for 10.00 seconds the text: You must spawn 15 units or less

 

[tassadar920]

I believe with the thing about showing what you type in a cinematic is totally impossible.

You cant type in a cinematic.

 

[Darimus]

oh wait, if you mean like in a map where one person is like a DM or something, you could have all the players except the DM person in cinematic, and he could make up the messages

 

[tassadar920]

hey.. thats an awesome idea for a 'cinematic rp' map system thingy... i gotta think about that.

You could like have a seting in a rp that would enable a camera to start and the DM could change the camera settings while the other playres watched the movie!! It could be really awesome no?
