[HELP] Setting max kills by chat.

01-16-2008, 11:42 AM	#1
Elhyse	I wanted to make my map flexible in such a way that the host(Red player) may set the max kills possible for the match by chat. example... -setkills 50 that will set the kills needed to win....to 50 kills. Can't find a way to make it though... Can anyone guide me?

Elhyse	Trigger: Set Kills Events Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -setkills as A substring Conditions Actions Set killset = (Integer((Substring(-setkills, 1, 150)))) Uhm....did I do it right?

uhmm not ...
I know that the gui example suck because you can undersand two different way.
First number is the begin, and last number is the end of the string.
with gui
Substring("-setkills",2,5) == "setk"
Btw instead of the last number you should use lenght of string

Ok bud, basically the Substring function grabs stuff by it's number of letters, so you have -setkills which is 9 charectors but you want to grab the number they type after -setkills with a space so the space is another char, you want a two digit number, so that's the 11th and 12th space.

Trigger:

String Function

Events

Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing (Substring(-setkills, 1, 9)) as An exact match

Conditions

Actions

Set MaxKills = (Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 11, 12))))

So you're grabbing the 11th and 12th position of the entered string, which is the 2 number and converting the string into an integer.

Elhyse	So since it grabs the 11th and the 12th character, when i say i want the game to end after 5 kills, i have to type -setkills 05?

no need, you can say "-setkills 5".
Cause when you convert a string to an integer he stop the conversion when a character is not a number (space,nothing, a letter, etc).
Btw instead of 12, use String lenght of entered chat string
