Post the code.

 

[CaptDeath]

the gui triggers sure
code posted

 

[Romek]

• Player Group - Add (Triggering player) to Idiot
  • Game - Display to Idiot the text: This leaks to displ...
  • Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_Idiot)

...Ermm?

• Win Detection
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -w as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Winners = (All allies of Player 1 (Red))

...

> containing (Substring(-bet , 1, 5)) as A substring
Why don't you just use:
containing "-bet " as A substring

 

[CaptDeath]

oh yeah that was b4 i removed it i didnt change the text
well the commentary explains for the second one thats what you need to change
and ill make the changes

 

[Troll-Brain]

if he change the substring if a player write something like that : "123456-bet", the trigger will be evaluated and executed, yes it's a silly example, but anyway it's just an event so using SubStringBJ is not that bad.

 

[CaptDeath]

what ahh man i just changed it
Brians right and it wont fire then if you have 2345-bet and causes some other issues so now its back to how it was the first time

Actually, SubstringBJ("-bet ", 1, 5) == "-bet "
So it's just an extra function call.

You'll need a condition to prevent that.

So it's just an extra function call.

You'll need a condition to prevent that.

The SubStringBJ is called only ONE time when the event is registered , pity ...

 

[CaptDeath]

@romek but i detect the interger by using another substring 6, enterd chat string length
so if they were to say 135-bet would cause it to be read wrong

 

[Romek]

The SubStringBJ is called only ONE time when the event is registered , pity ...

And, the point of it being there is?

Doing that is basically like doing this:

if GetRandomInt(1, 5) < 6 then
 // Actions
endif

Instead of:

if true then
 // Actions
endif

It's an extra, completely pointless function call. There's no point whatsoever in it being there.

did you read my post?^^

No i would say it's the best way, just remember that's a gui, not dynamic trigger, if he use that in the register event part, he don't need to use an extra condition when the trigger is evaluated or executed.

No, because you didn't read my one which explains why you're wrong.

I don't think you're trying to understand me.
The Substring does nothing more than the normal "-bet " would do. It's just a waste of space, and an extra function call. A condition is required to avoid people typing "329847-bet ". If you don't believe me, try it with simple "Game - Display Text" actions.

 

[Troll-Brain]

Hmm yes sorry, i guess it's time to go to bed

You need to add a condition in your trigger to avoid this case.

 

[CaptDeath]

so any comments from some one whos actually used this?

 

[Troll-Brain]

Lol less than 24 hours ..
And Romek was right you need to add a condition.

 

[CaptDeath]

for what?
whats the point of destroying one thing to call a different thing?
can you explain that

 

[Troll-Brain]

First remove the SubStrings in the events it's useless as Romek said.
And add in your conditions, SubString(entered chat string,1,5) == "-bet "

 

[CaptDeath]

not that i am againt changing the 12 actions for the 5 time just isnt that tomato toemato[so you know what i mean i added the e]?
