Need help with triger

[DarkKronos]

I want to be able to type -buy (item) then give the person the item.

 

[Monovertex]

You cannot. That's because you cannot create the item that the player writes. I mean, you cannot 'transform' that string into an item. Got it?

 

[DarkKronos]

-.- dude ever played sheep tag reborn that has -buy, so it does got it?

 

[Mini-Me]

Why not contact the creators of sheep tag reborn?

 

[Andrewgosu]

Maybe lots of separate triggers or conditions what checks the entered string and creates the right item.

 

[BlackDiamond]

Events:
Player 1 types...-buy X item as an exact match
Conditions:
Actions:
Custom Script: set bj_want destroy group equal to true
Pick all heroes in playable map area and do actions
Loop Actions:
Give X item to picked unit

 

[Monovertex]

@Black Diamond, You cannot simply transform the entered string 'X' in an item.

I think the solution would be a separate trigger for each item. Lot's of ifs i don't think it would work, cuz the event would be 'enters "-buy"' and I don't think you are able to check if the player wrote something else after the -buy.

Anyway, afterall, why don't you follow Mini-Me's device? Ask the map creators themselves.

BTW, can you give me a link to this map?

 

[DarkKronos]

i ment a differnt trigger for each item. all i wont is to type -buy golem and u get a stone tokin (item) in your iventry like on sheep tag reborn (str)

and if u have msn i can send u the map

 

[Monovertex]

If you wanted this, then here's a trigger:

Stone Token
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -buy golem as An exact match
    Conditions
    Actions
        Hero - Create Stone Token and give it to (your hero here)

I think what they used in SHEEP TAG is this:

1. You have to create some variables:
HeroRED - Unit
HeroBlue - Unit
etc
2. You have to set the variables:

Set HeroRED equal to (Some Unit)
3.

    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -buy Invisible Sheep as An exact match
    Conditions
    Actions
        Hero - Create Invisible Sheep and give it to (HeroRED)

Substrings?

 

[DarkKronos]

how do i do it if hero is made by trigger
(i cant select a unit on map)

 

[N2o)]

Make a unit variable and do:

set *your unit variable* = last created unit

 

[Drakens]

you can make some Array system, like setting all the items and strings in arrays...
Set ItemString[1]= "potion"
...
Set Item[1]= the potion item
...
And then a trigger like this:

Events:
      Player1 (Red) enters a chat message containing "-buy " as a substring // Repeat for each player
Conditions:
Actions:
      if (entered chat string (6 - lenght of (entered chat string)) = ItemString[1]
      then do give Item[1] to player
      else do nothing

I'm not sure if you can do this, or if there is an easier way (maybe using interger A or something...)

how do i do it if hero is made by trigger
(i cant select a unit on map)

Set Hero[Player number of (Owner of Entering unit)]= Last created unit
/\ this only works if you select heros by entering on a region, if you are using another method change the "Player number of (Owner of Entering Unit)" To something that works

 

[DarkKronos]

aarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr maybe im not cut out for all this i dun know how to do it grrrr




(entered chat string (6 - lenght of (entered chat string)) cant figure that shit out and how u do this Set Item[1]= the potion item



Events:
Player1 (Red) enters a chat message containing "-buy " as a substring // Repeat for each player
Conditions:
Actions:
if (entered chat string (6 - lenght of (entered chat string)) = ItemString[1]
then do give Item[1] to player
else do nothing :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

 

[N2o)]

what he has done is a substring and for that item[1] you need a variable.
when in trigger editor press ctrl+b and create an item-type variable.

 

[DarkKronos]

how will the trigger know wat item i want if it just has a name
