Changing Player Names...

[Fragglez]

Yo. Anyways I'll get to the basics right away.

I'm completely lost on how to make a name-changing trigger.

I want to make it where it changes my player name to my requested name when i type something.

Example trigger (this is totally off)

   Events
   Player 1(Red) types -changename <name> as an exact match
   Conditions
   Actions
   Set name of Player 1 (Red) to <name>

I know that the Set name of player 1 (red) is under Event - Set Name

So... any ideas on how this works or any suggestions on how to get it working? Thanks

(rep rewarded to those who get this to work)

ok here it is... just copy and paste into a trigger called "Name Change" (without quotes)

function Trig_Name_Change_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call SetPlayerName( GetTriggerPlayer(), SubStringBJ(GetEventPlayerChatString(), 7, 25) )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Name_Change takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Name_Change = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_Name_Change, Player(0), "-name ", false )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_Name_Change, Player(1), "-name ", false )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_Name_Change, Player(2), "-name ", false )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_Name_Change, Player(3), "-name ", false )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_Name_Change, Player(4), "-name ", false )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_Name_Change, Player(5), "-name ", false )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_Name_Change, Player(6), "-name ", false )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_Name_Change, Player(7), "-name ", false )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_Name_Change, Player(8), "-name ", false )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_Name_Change, Player(9), "-name ", false )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_Name_Change, Player(10), "-name ", false )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( gg_trg_Name_Change, Player(11), "-name ", false )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Name_Change, function Trig_Name_Change_Actions )
endfunction

Make sure you convert the trigger to JASS before you can copy/paste it lol,
thats edit-->convert to custom text

Okay. so how to i set this JASS trigger off in game so it works?

do i go -name Fragglez and it will change my name to Fragglez or do i use my current one of -changename

edit: got it from playing my map, ty!

 

[turok255]

i read the trigger and it should be "-name" without the quotes (I don't know JASS but it dosen't look that hard from that trigger)

In GUI,
It would be something like this

   Events
   Player 1(Red) types -changename as a substring
   Player 2 and 3 and 4.etcetc.
   Conditions
   Actions
   Set name of Triggering Player to (SubString(EnteredChatString(13,99)))//I'm not 100% sure here but I'm quite sure its something like this.

And it words, it would be "SEARCH."
I mean, Jesus Christ, this was asked yesterday.

Remember to use a condition to check the first letters
