Dota's water color, how does it work?

I tried to create dota's water color system, but I failed. I could not save the rgb values of the entered chat string into a variable and the other thing was that when I changed the water's color, it had a strange color, much darker than it should be.
For those who dont know the system:

you type -water R G B (R,G and B stand for integer values from 0-255Ö and it will change the water's color locally to the typed value.

Problem solved!

Here's the code for it I made:

JASS:
function if255 takes integer value returns boolean
    return value > 255
endfunction

function Trig_Water_Color_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local string start = GetEventPlayerChatString()
    local string s = ""
    local string stemp = ""
    local string array number
    local integer i = 0
    local integer l
    local integer skip = 0
    local integer array value
    
    
    loop
        exitwhen i > StringLength(start) or skip > 2
        set s = SubString(start, i, i+1)
        if s == " " then
            set l = i+1
            loop
                set stemp = SubString(start, l,l+1)
                exitwhen stemp == " " or stemp == null or stemp == ""
                if stemp != " " then
                    if skip == 0 then
                        set number[skip] = number[skip] + stemp
                    elseif skip == 1 then
                        set number[skip] = number[skip] + stemp
                    elseif skip == 2 then
                        set number[skip] = number[skip] + stemp
                    endif
                endif
                set l = l + 1
            endloop
            set skip = skip + 1
        endif
        set i = i + 1
    endloop
    
    set i = 0
    loop
        exitwhen i > 2
        set value<i> = S2I(number<i>)
        if if255(value<i>) then
            return
        endif
        set i = i + 1
    endloop
    if GetLocalPlayer() == GetTriggerPlayer() then
        call SetWaterBaseColor(value[0], value[1], value[2], 255)
    endif
endfunction</i></i></i>


It needs a function where you register the following: all players type -water as a substring

That means you need help to do that or what? I don't understand.
no he meant that the code above doesn't have an event. in order for it too work you will need to add the event "player X types -water as a substring" at map init.

one question, in dota i type "-water red" or "-water green". Maybe you can add it so "if substring = red, then set auto number[1] = 255, number[2] = 0, number3= [0] etc. ?

sure, I could but it was a call for help thread not a snippet thread, sorry :) anyway the color of the water is changing but it does not like the same as in dota. there the red water was red using this it disappears or is a bit black

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
