Chat Trigger

I am working on a trigger to make chatting easier. For me I hate going to the chat menu to send a chat to a particualr person, or to send a message to my enemies.

It would work like this. You just copy and paste this trigger into your map. It does not interfere with anything no problems at all no variables. Just that easy.

The way you would use it is like this you would type a message and this would be the format.

Chat: <(Player Name, ID, or Color), Allies, Enemies, Observers, or All> <Message>

i.e. Chat: DKSlayer Send me some troops for help

It gets the message and sends it to that person, and as you can see you can use this to send to Allies, Enemies, All, Observers, or a certain player.

I almost got it all coded, the only problem I run into is this. I can get the messages but the problem, is even though I get it still goes to whoever it is set to go to in the Warcraft III chat thing.

I need to find a way to fix this. I need to be able to stop it from sending messages that have the word Chat: in it or have it send messages to a player that is not there. If anyone can figure a way around this It would be helpful and I could get this thing done.

Thanks

Great trigger and all but in my opinion you totally wasted your time. Whisper function anyone? And it's only 3 characters longer than what yours would be ("/w ") so as I see it, you might want to discontinue this project. :P

Hmmm, so there is a whisper function in warcraft III? Never knew about that, I knew there was something like that for, the chat. Well that's cool, Then I can chuck that project. Glad I had only copyed the code from the commander and Hadn't really started work.

Thanks

Ya, and if you want, you can set your default chat to allies, then to talk to all, just hold shit then press enter... :)

There is some benefit to spending at least a little time on Battle.net.

Hehe.
