Chat as substring?

[takethat]

Is this how the pudge war works?

Killscount
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing (-km + (String((Random integer number between 1 and 100)))) as A substring
    Conditions
        (Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 5, 7)))) <= 100
    Actions
        Set Killstowin = (Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 5, 7))))
        Set Killsstring = (Substring((Entered chat string), 5, 7))
        Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Kill + (Killsstring + times to win))
        Quest - Display to PlayerGroup the Hint message: (Kill + (Killsstring + times to win))

The what?


The event is certainly wrong.
It's enough to say "-km " as a substring.

It's also probably enough to show the text just once.

On a related note, the substring from 5 to 7 can't be greater than 99 anyway...

If I may explain, Pudge Wars is a game where you play as Pudge(s) (<-- a unit/Hero with Abomination model which is originated from DotA)

The Pudge has an ability called Meat Hook (or usually called just 'Hook'; I'm sure you've heard this before)

So the game is about hooking your enemies across the river to kill them.

What he want is how to set the amount of kills needed to win the game.

Actually it can becouse the substring from 5 to 7 refers to the chars 5,6 and 7 so it can be 999

C ya.

Err... can you type more than 99 characters?

 

[chango]

Err... can you type more than 99 characters?

LOL, It's the integer 999 not 999 characters...

I was refering to chat because the question IS about converting a chat to a substring, not integer.

 

[darkRae]

> (Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 5, 7)))) <= 100

This converts the Substring to an Integer.
The one you're probably thinking of is 'Length of String'

I'd suggest you try it out first.

Ok here is the test:

We need a variable for the numbers of kill we called killsVictoria

First the trigger to set up the numbers of kills to 999

NumeroMuertesVictoria
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -kills  as A substring
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set killsVictoria = (Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 8, 10))))

you should type it before 15 secs.

Then we show it in a leaderboard:

Crear Leaderboard
    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 15.00 seconds
    Conditions
    Actions
        Leaderboard - Create a leaderboard for (All players) titled (kills to win  + (String(killsVictoria)))
        Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Leaderboard - Add (Picked player) to (Last created leaderboard) with label (Name of (Picked player)) and value 0
        Leaderboard - Show (Last created leaderboard)

if you type -kills 999 you will see the leaderboard: "kills to win 999"

so 10 - 8 = 2 but the limits are included in the substring. so are 3 characters instead of 2.

Sorry for my bad english
