cohadar	There are so many resources on war3 that I will soon forget where I put my own stuff. Thank you.

DioD

function TrueSimError takes player p, string msg returns nothing
local sound error=CreateSoundFromLabel( "InterfaceError",false,false,false,10,10)
if (GetLocalPlayer() == p) then
if (msg!="") and (msg!=null) then
//call ClearTextMessages()
call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer( p, 0.51, 0.96, 2.00, "|cffffcc00\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"+msg+"|r" )
endif
call StartSound( error )
endif
call KillSoundWhenDone( error)
set error=null
endfunction

Litle more coding by me to place text right at place

learn to use jass tags ffs.

JASS:

function TrueSimError takes player p, string msg returns nothing
    local sound error=CreateSoundFromLabel( "InterfaceError",false,false,false,10,10)
    if (GetLocalPlayer() == p) then
        if (msg!="") and (msg!=null) then
            //call ClearTextMessages()
            call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer( p, 0.51, 0.96, 2.00, "|cffffcc00\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"+msg+"|r" )
        endif
        call StartSound( error )
    endif
    call KillSoundWhenDone( error)
    set error=null
endfunction

This code is a lol.
Learn to use globals also.

I don't understand the your code DioD, is it better then Vexorian's or were you joking?

Anyways, I like this one:

JASS:

scope MySimError

globals
    private sound udg_SimError = null
endglobals

function SimError takes player ForPlayer, string msg returns nothing
    if udg_SimError==null then
        set udg_SimError=CreateSoundFromLabel( "InterfaceError",false,false,false,10,10)
    endif
    if (GetLocalPlayer() == ForPlayer) then
        call ClearTextMessages()
        call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer( ForPlayer, 0.52, -1.00, 2.00, "|cffffcc00"+msg+"|r" )
        call StartSound( udg_SimError )
    endif
endfunction

endscope

This way you don't have to create the SimError global, which I btw always forget :)

EDIT: Though your function has a msg if/then/else which is useful.

I asked this somewhere else, but I can't remember where.......How can a string be null? Why does it have a GetLocalPlayer() if/then/else if DisplayTimedTextToPlayer already has that?

Alexander244	The location of the message with the '\n' trick depends on screen resolution, so it's not a good solution.

DioD	Well same happened here, just test code ingame it shows text right at place.

Silvenon	So Vex's one is not right then?

Of course it is right, it is even more optimized that others.
On the other hand if you don't like using udg_ globals you could simply do this:

JASS:

scope SimError
// small modification of Vexorians SimError
// only replaced udg_SimError with SimErrorSound so you don't have to use udg_'s
globals
    private sound SimErrorSound = null
endglobals

function SimError takes player ForPlayer, string msg returns nothing
    if SimErrorSound==null then
        set SimErrorSound=CreateSoundFromLabel( "InterfaceError",false,false,false,10,10)
    endif
    if (GetLocalPlayer() == ForPlayer) then
        call ClearTextMessages()
        call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer( ForPlayer, 0.52, -1.00, 2.00, "|cffffcc00"+msg+"|r" )
        call StartSound( SimErrorSound )
    endif
endfunction

endscope

Was thinking about the other '\n' trick, for displaying inside the interface... for sim error DioD's is the best method, and should work fine.

sim error:

scope SimError

globals
    private sound SimErrorSound = null
endglobals

function SimError takes player ForPlayer, string msg returns nothing
    if SimErrorSound == null then
        set SimErrorSound = CreateSoundFromLabel("InterfaceError", false, false, false, 10, 10)
    endif
    if (GetLocalPlayer() == ForPlayer) then
        call ClearTextMessages()
        call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(ForPlayer, 0.52, 0.96, 2.00, "|cffffcc00\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"+msg+"|r")
        call StartSound(SimErrorSound)
    endif
endfunction

endscope

cohadar	Credits to Vexorian, DioD, Cohadar and Alexander244. If you use this in your map you must pay each of us 1$ for every player that ever plays your map.
