Chat strings

I tried to make a trigger that will make you type the hero level of the hero with the following trigger.


it just happen to not launch the trigger at all, I had a pre-feeling that this wasn't going to work.

nonetheless, suggestion for this?

Pointing out the obvious, I don't see any events. Make an event for each player that can do this that runs the trigger when they type "-level " as a substring. That's the best answer I can give you with what you posted.

the event looks like this

Your if statement makes absolutely no sense. You are basically saying if a == a +1 which can never be true. Instead take out the if statement and make your event:


Then change your conversions from string to integer to get the level to substring(6,Length(EnteredChatString).

the only way why the event looks like this is cause I don't want to make a dozen triggers for all chat commands there are available, so I used empty string and then check the strings with variables.

I do not exactly understand your explanation however

You don't have to make a trigger for each player for each command. Just put 12 events for each trigger, 1 event for each player.

Also noticed this if statement from harshateja's post:


For example, if you type "-level 5" this will check the following:

"-level 5" Equal to "-level 0"

What's happening is you're trying to convert the string "-level 5" into an integer. Since you have non-numeric characters in that string, it will return 0. Therefore, that if statement will always return false.

Simply change that conversion to the following:

You can also make all in one Trigger, i'll show you.
What you have to do, store your hero in a Variable with Array, that means, the hero of Player 1 in Hero[1], the hero of Player 2 in hero[2], etc.

what he wants is one trigger for all commands. not just one trigger per command. thats why he used that event

just change your first If - Condition to:

and your second one to Fireeye's condition.

How about a substring of '-' ?

ye, i guess that would be a little better if all the commands starts with a "-" which they usually do. Dunno if it will help much to the map though since you usually dont spamm constanly with a 0.01 interval in a game. Not that "that" would do anything anyways.

all commands start with - so I could use that as a substring.
I only need to display it to 1 player so thats easier as well.

no do I not really get the "Substring((Entered chat string), 1, 6" what does the action do preciously?\\

P.S the hero is able to level up till 15

It creates a substring from the entered chat string starting at a, ending at b.

But how does that detect my integer value in this case?

that one doesnt, 1 to 6 checks for, obvious the first six chars on the string, being "-level" in this case. To check the int just do String 2 Integer (Substring(Entered Chat message, 8, 8)) (not 7 because there's a space between).

Fireeye's trigger is fine, it will work good.

A substring is just a part of a string cut up.

Example:

Word = fish, Min = 2, Max = 3, output = is
Letter 2 to letter 3 = is.

Word = Hello People, Min = 7, Max = 9, output = Peo

A space is also a character (duh!).

So Fireeye checked if the substring past the word -level was higher than the current level, and if it is set it.


He checks if 1234567 is = to "-level " (Notice the space), and sets the level to Substring - Min = 7, Max = stringlength, so its to the end.

His method will work without flaws.
