Deathmatch triggers

[Knatten]

Hi, im gonna add a deathmatch system to my map and I want to get some advice. But first, how I want it to work.

There is 2 teams of 5 players from the start. If red types -normal or doesn't type anything in 30 sec of the game, normal 5v5 mode will be enabled. Ive got this part.

Now the DM mode, it's similar (sp?) to Pudge Wars exept it's FFA.

Red types -dm xx or -deathmatch xx, and the DM mode is enabled. The XX is the number of lives win. All players get unallied with eachother and cant ally again.

First question here. If I unally players with eachother, can they ally eachother again in the F11 window? Im using this action.

Deathmatch
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -dm as An exact match
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -deathmatch as An exact match
    Conditions
    Actions
        Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Player - Make (Picked player) treat (Picked player) as an Enemy

Second question.

I want to detect what number ''XX'' is, and I have no idea how to do that.

Third question.

What kind of Variable should I use to set the lifes for each player? I'm thinking of using Integer for each player and setting it to XX, and reducing it by 1 each time a hero dies, set Integer -(minus) 1 for that player. Can i use Integer with array of 10?

P.S maybe someone knows an unprotected map with similar system, so i can learn from it ?
I think that was all for now, i will update this thread incase i got some problems.

thatll make each player treat him/herself as an ally. add an integer loop (1 to max player count) within that player group loop. then get Picked Player to unally Player (Integer A).

to stop them allying, theres a checkbox in player settings or something (under the Scenario tab at top of main wc3 window). I think its called fixed player settings

2) convert string to integer (substring (entered chat string, 4, length of entered chat string))

thatll get any number typed after that as your lives integer i.e.

-dm 50
- is 1st part
d is 2nd
m is 3rd
spaces wont cause an issue with string 2 integer
5 is 4th
0 is 5th

thatll take number 4 and 5, and put them together to give you 50 . hopefully that made sense

Where do i find the convert action ?

 

[Flare]

When you are setting your lives (its gonna be an integer ill assume) variable, look for Conversion - Convert string to integer.

I also have the quick map I made for your viewing pleasure.

Edit: Guess Flare has it covered. Oh well.

Edit 2: Whoops, when I copied KillCountNVictory it didn't show all of the text that was supposed to be displayed :nuts: so I just made 2 actions so you can see the whole thing.
