Trigger help needed

I am trying to make a trigger that lets you add abilities, like in those rp maps, anyone know what triggers i need to do this?

Er... do you mean what actions/events to use?

If you want the players to be able to add the abilities by typing in chat messages, use event Player - Player Chat Message

And to add an ability to a unit, use action Unit - Add Ability.

and uh, Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow: Jackdaws love my sphinx of black quartz.

Well, i already know how to do that, i mean i want it so it adds what they type like "A player types in chat string" "Chat string has ' in it and has ability string in it" "add ability string to all units owned by triggering player = to selected unit" Can anyone help me there?

just do something like this.

Event: Player-Player 1 (red) types a chat message containing -Blizzard as an exact match

Action:Unit-Add Blizzard to Blood Mage 000 <gen>

you will have to do alot of work to make a trigger for every spell

There's another way... But only using JASS. Please say exactly what do you need so I can tell you more information.

Have any of you played DOB? I need something like their ability adder. Where the player just types in '*abilityname* and the ability is added! And i doubt they made tons of triggers just to do that, they didn't do it for the spawning trigger in LOF and WOD, i need the ability trigger please.
