Trigger involving Player Color Variable

04-23-2003, 12:10 AM	#1
Panto	Greets. I am trying to cause a player color variable to convert to a string. None of the "Convert X to string" commands seem to be applicable. What can I do?

Instead of looking for an efficient way out, just look for the most ovious way. Then if you find a better way, change it.

And if you still don't see it:

Code:

if(udg_Color == PLAYER_COLOR_RED) then
    set udg_strColor = "Red"
endif
if(udg_Color == PLAYER_COLOR_BLUE) then
    set udg_strColor = "Blue"
endif
if(udg_Color == PLAYER_COLOR_TEAL) then
    set udg_strColor = "Teal"
endif
// Continue for all 12 colors

This will require useless computing time and code writing time.

Just create a new variable of type string being an array,
call it PlayerColorName
Add that to your triggers !

event :
map initialization
conditions :
none
actions :
set PlayerColorName[1] = Red
set PlayerColorName[2] = Blue
etc... up to
set PlayerColorName[12] = Brown

then, every time you will need the name of a player X 's color , it will be PlayerColorName[X]

thats it !

I hope this helped you

Regards.
