Displaying a players name

[Surferkid993]

I was looking through the tutorials. I can't find how to make a trigger that displays a players name. If you know what the code for this is or how to do it please tell me.

Any time you use a string, whether your storing it, or using 'Game - Display message', you can pick 'player name' for the string. Just pull down the list of available functions, and you'll see it there.

Can you explain a little bit more. I am using the "Game-Display Message". I don't know were the pull down menu is that you are talking about.

When you select that action, and click on 'Text' to change it, theres a field called 'Function:' and a pull down list. It will say 'Player - Player Name' on the list.

Cool it worked. Thanks.

 

[Surferkid993]

It worked but I need it to say like:

(Players Name) Voted for Orc

What that does is like:

(Players Name)
Voted for Orc

How do I get the first one

 

[Im_On_56k]

Use Concatenate Strings String 1 + String 2

For string 1 use name of (player1 red)
For string 2 use Voted for orc

Notice the space^

Makes it so it isnt right beside each other like this

Im_On_56kVoted for Orc

you add a space so it looks like this.

Im_On_56k Voted for Orc

Game - Display to (All players) the text: ((Name of Player 1 (Red)) +  Voted for Orc)

edit-

EDIT: Huh, sorry 56k, same time

Lol when i clicked submit and click the link to the world editor forum it said last post by u, so we musta posted like same second.

For the string choose "concatenate strings". This will allow you to choose two values. For the first string choose player name and fo second write " voted for orc". Don't forget to put a space on the beginning of the second string, else you will get message like "WorldEditvoted for orc" instead of correct "WorldEdit voted for orc"
