A player selects a unit, it shows a text message...there's a problem!

[tom_mai78101]

From where the title is left off:

...when you re-select the same unit, it doesn't show up the same messages over again every time you press it. How do you do it?

Just use the unit's custom value(*) and "mark" him selected.

Events
- Unit - yourunit Is selected
Conditions
- (Custom value of (Triggering unit)) Equal to 0
Actions
- Unit - Set the custom value of (Triggering unit) to 1
- Game - Display to (yourplayergroup) the text: yourmessage



(*) Or anything else you find comfortable. Global boolean? ... I don't know.

Oh, are there other ways? Thanks in advanced.

Well, you can always turn the trigger off after doing what it is supposed to do.

But that wouldn't be so fancy...More efficient, yes.

Oh well. I'll think of something. Thanks for your help.
