How to get a player color?

10-12-2005, 04:57 AM

I have this trigger to display text to all players. How would I make the player name display matching their color?

Code:

DragonKill
    Events
        Unit - El Dorado 0481 &lt;gen&gt; Dies
        Unit - Infernum 0225 &lt;gen&gt; Dies
        Unit - Draconios 0226 &lt;gen&gt; Dies
    Conditions
        And - All (Conditions) are true
            Conditions
                (El Dorado 0481 &lt;gen&gt; is dead) Equal to True
                (Infernum 0225 &lt;gen&gt; is dead) Equal to True
                (Draconios 0226 &lt;gen&gt; is dead) Equal to True
    Actions
        Game - Display to (All players) for 10.00 seconds the text: ((Name of (Owner of (Killing unit))) +  has slain the Dragons !!!)
        Custom script:   call DestroyTrigger( GetTriggeringTrigger() )

divine_peon	what i do is set up strings in the initialization with the proper color codes. ex: set strings[1]=\|cffffff00sadgsgsd\|r. then on your trigger, write Game-Display text to all players: Strings[Player number of owner of killing unit] killed a Dragon.

Zoxc	I have a script in submission that does this for you ....

Gandalf2349	Or even easier just do this: PlrColor[1] = "\|cffff0000" PlrColor[2] = "\|Cff0000ff" etc. Then: Display - (PlrColor[1] + ("Player 1" or Player Name of (Player 1 <Red)) + "\|r has slain Smog the Magnificent."

Tim.	You just repeated divine_peon's suggestion?

Gandalf2349	Similar, except he was adding the player name to the constant string.

iNfraNe	What about "ConvertPlayerColor(playernumber - 1)" no need to make entries on those stupid arrays and searching for color values u dont know from heart (since player red is not simply \|cffff0000 but something weird.) Just check the jass for the game display u have now and then add ConvertPlayerColor

The_AwaKening	You're saying to convert trigger to jass and use ConvertPlayerColor? I'm not real great at jass so maybe you could show me exactly how that line would go along with the rest of my action.

nvm I was wrong about that :) didnt quite work as I suspected. Just do what the others said, here are the colors (1-8 hope u dont need more ;)):

Code:

Set ColorCode[1] = |cFFFF0303
Set ColorCode[2] = |cFF0042FF
Set ColorCode[3] = |cFF1CE6B9
Set ColorCode[4] = |cFF540081
Set ColorCode[5] = |cFFFFFC00
Set ColorCode[6] = |cFFFE8A0E
Set ColorCode[7] = |cFF20C000
Set ColorCode[8] = |cFFE55BB0

I actually have the color strings already set in initialization as a variable. My problem is that I can't get the option to use it and display player name (only player number), once I put that string in there.

Also I guess my strings may have been wrong

Code:

set udg_playerColorString[1] = "ff0000"
set udg_playerColorString[2] = "0000ff"
set udg_playerColorString[3] = "1CE6B9"
set udg_playerColorString[4] = "540081"
set udg_playerColorString[5] = "FFFC01"
set udg_playerColorString[6] = "FE8A0E"
set udg_playerColorString[7] = "20C000"
set udg_playerColorString[8] = "E55BB0"
set udg_playerColorString[9] = "959697"

iNfraNe	what u obviously need todo is: colorcode[playerNUMBER] + (this is an OTHER string) player NAME + (YET ANOTHER STrING) "\|r"

The_AwaKening	Awesome. I set those strings in my initialization then made my action basically to match what toot said and everything works great. Thanks for the help all.
