Displaying Text Messages to a particular player.

[WL-13]

Hi, I have been trying to display a text message to a player only, I've tried so many things, but it always displays it to everyone.

Event:
A unit comes within 400 range of AgilityMaster.

Action:
Game - Display to (All players controlled by a ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) controller) player) for 20.00 seconds the text: <text>

Somehow it keeps displaying it to every player. Anyone got any ideas why it's doing that?

uhm.. i see one error, youd have to have a player controled by the triggering unit, not possible to do i dont think.

Game - Display to (Player group((Owner of (Triggering unit)))) for 30.00 seconds the text: <bla>

Convert Player To Player Group

I used triggering unit because for the <A unit comes within 400 range of AgilityMaster.> Event, it said to use "Triggering Player" when referring to it. Any helps?

By the way , Convert player to player group actually means: Create Player Group, add the player and return the new created Player Group. So it would leak if you don't remove it.

Although a better solution would be:

Map initialization:
--
for each integer A from 1 to 12 do actions:
       set PlayerForce[(Integer A)] = Convert Player to player group ( Convert Index to player (Integer A) )

Then just use the contents of the array PlayerForce for that:

     Show ("ooh" to (PlayerForce[Convert player to index(...) ] )

Actually the best solution is to use JASS or UMSWE / WEU / whatever to use the native that takes a player directly to make a message instead of the dumb BJ function that only takes force
