Leaving Players' Names?

This is the way it was meant to be.

I created a system to spread leaving players' gold around to the remaining players... give them (Total gold of leaver) / (Remaining players) each.

The problem isn't with the gold, but the names. Of course, I want people to see who the stupid leaver was, but any attempts to display this player's name quickly switches to Red's name. Pink leaves, but it's recorded as Red. (I've had numerous Reds who say something like "wtf i didn't leave"). Also, when a player leaves, it should display the message once, but it goes nearly 8 or 9 times! It might be due to those actions being included in the player group, I should try that fix.

I have a sample trigger posted below. I was thinking of including a wait between setting the player's name (A solution I tried, to no avail) and displaying messages.

Before you start ratting me out for using individual actions for each player's message, it's done already... unless a player group will fix this.

If there's a solution that works, there's rep to be given.


Code: 
Player 2
    Events
        Player - Player 2 (Blue) leaves the game
    Conditions
    Actions
        Player - Set name of Player 2 (Blue) to ((|cff2222ff + (Name of Player 2 (Blue))) + |r)
        Game - Display to (All players) for 25.00 seconds the text: ((Name of Player 2 (Blue)) + |c0000cdf9 has left the game|r)
        Player Group - Remove Player 2 (Blue) from Defenders
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) owned by Player 2 (Blue)) and do (Unit - Change ownership of (Picked unit) to (Random player from Defenders) and Change color)
        Leaderboard - Change the label for Player 2 (Blue) in (Last created leaderboard) to <Leaver>
        Player Group - Pick every player in (All players matching (((Matching player) Not equal to Player 12 (Brown)) and (((Matching player) slot status) Equal to Is playing))) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Player Group - Add (Picked player) to RemainingPlayers
                Set LeavingPlayerMoney = (Player 2 (Blue) Current gold)
                Player - Add (LeavingPlayerMoney / (Number of players in RemainingPlayers)) to (Picked player) Current gold
                Game - Display to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) the text: (You recieved  + ((String((LeavingPlayerMoney / (Number of players in RemainingPlayers)))) + ( gold from  + ((Name of Player 1 (Red)) +  leaving.))))
                Game - Display to Player Group - Player 3 (Teal) the text: (You recieved  + ((String((LeavingPlayerMoney / (Number of players in RemainingPlayers)))) + ( gold from  + ((Name of Player 1 (Red)) +  leaving.))))
                Game - Display to Player Group - Player 4 (Purple) the text: (You recieved  + ((String((LeavingPlayerMoney / (Number of players in RemainingPlayers)))) + ( gold from  + ((Name of Player 1 (Red)) +  leaving.))))
                Game - Display to Player Group - Player 5 (Yellow) the text: (You recieved  + ((String((LeavingPlayerMoney / (Number of players in RemainingPlayers)))) + ( gold from  + ((Name of Player 1 (Red)) +  leaving.))))
                Game - Display to Player Group - Player 6 (Orange) the text: (You recieved  + ((String((LeavingPlayerMoney / (Number of players in RemainingPlayers)))) + ( gold from  + ((Name of Player 1 (Red)) +  leaving.))))
                Game - Display to Player Group - Player 7 (Green) the text: (You recieved  + ((String((LeavingPlayerMoney / (Number of players in RemainingPlayers)))) + ( gold from  + ((Name of Player 1 (Red)) +  leaving.))))
                Game - Display to Player Group - Player 8 (Pink) the text: (You recieved  + ((String((LeavingPlayerMoney / (Number of players in RemainingPlayers)))) + ( gold from  + ((Name of Player 1 (Red)) +  leaving.))))
                Game - Display to Player Group - Player 9 (Gray) the text: (You recieved  + ((String((LeavingPlayerMoney / (Number of players in RemainingPlayers)))) + ( gold from  + ((Name of Player 1 (Red)) +  leaving.))))
        Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)







EDIT: I'm a nimrod.

After looking over the display messages, apparently the trigger says to display Player 1's name.

The multiple message deal, however, is still there.

err, ofcourse it says reds name as thats what you have put in the trigger, read the last 10 lines, instead change that to triggering player.

Try this, its much more simplified:

Code: 
LeaversGold
    Events
        Player - (Player((Max(1, 8)))) leaves the game
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set LeavingPlayerMoney = (Triggering Player) Current gold)
        Player Group - Remove (Triggering Player) from Defenders
        Leaderboard - Change the label for (Player) in (Last created leaderboard) to <Leaver>
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) owned by (Triggering Player) and do (Unit - Change ownership of (Picked unit) to (Random player from Defenders) and Change color)
        Leaderboard - Change the label for (Triggering Player) in (Last created leaderboard) to <Leaver>
        Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Game - Display to (All players) for 30.00 seconds the text: ((Name of (Triggering player)) + has left the game.)
                Player - Add (LeavingPlayerMoney / (Number of players in RemainingPlayers)) to (Picked player) Current gold
                Game - Display to (Picked Player) the text: (You recieved  + ((String((LeavingPlayerMoney / (Number of players in RemainingPlayers)))) + ( gold from  + ((Name of (Triggering player)) +  leaving.))))

    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
