I tried to create dota's water color system, but I failed. I could not save the rgb values of the entered chat string into a variable and the other thing was that when I changed the water's color, it had a strange color, much darker than it should be.
For those who dont know the system:

you type -water R G B (R,G and B stand for integer values from 0-255Ö and it will change the water's color locally to the typed value.
 
Problem solved!

Here's the code for it I made:

JASS:
function if255 takes integer value returns boolean
    return value > 255
endfunction

function Trig_Water_Color_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local string start = GetEventPlayerChatString()
    local string s = ""
    local string stemp = ""
    local string array number
    local integer i = 0
    local integer l
    local integer skip = 0
    local integer array value
    
    
    loop
        exitwhen i > StringLength(start) or skip > 2
        set s = SubString(start, i, i+1)
        if s == " " then
            set l = i+1
            loop
                set stemp = SubString(start, l,l+1)
                exitwhen stemp == " " or stemp == null or stemp == ""
                if stemp != " " then
                    if skip == 0 then
                        set number[skip] = number[skip] + stemp
                    elseif skip == 1 then
                        set number[skip] = number[skip] + stemp
                    elseif skip == 2 then
                        set number[skip] = number[skip] + stemp
                    endif
                endif
                set l = l + 1
            endloop
            set skip = skip + 1
        endif
        set i = i + 1
    endloop
    
    set i = 0
    loop
        exitwhen i > 2
        set value<i> = S2I(number<i>)
        if if255(value<i>) then
            return
        endif
        set i = i + 1
    endloop
    if GetLocalPlayer() == GetTriggerPlayer() then
        call SetWaterBaseColor(value[0], value[1], value[2], 255)
    endif
endfunction</i></i></i>


It needs a function where you register the following: all players type -water as a substring
 
That means you need help to do that or what? I don't understand.
no he meant that the code above doesn't have an event. in order for it too work you will need to add the event "player X types -water as a substring" at map init.

one question, in dota i type "-water red" or "-water green". Maybe you can add it so "if substring = red, then set auto number[1] = 255, number[2] = 0, number3= [0] etc. ?
 
sure, I could but it was a call for help thread not a snippet thread, sorry :) anyway the color of the water is changing but it does not like the same as in dota. there the red water was red using this it disappears or is a bit black
dunno how'd they make it
 
No - that is not appropriate for this forum. You are posting this as a reply to an old forum post. Based on your posts I do not think you really know where you are or how to use this software. Best if you stepped back and looked around a little to try and learn the ropes a little before you start posting too much. You would want to post in forums that are relevant to your content, such as the General Discussion forum for starters.


And don't reply to old dead threads.

    yeah I dont like the government. I am a total libertarian and what you are describing is what I am totally against when it comes to governing

    I mean I don't really like the government. But I would also prefer to have one than... not have any government. Like we need to have police forces and national welfare systems, but I don't think the cop that is pulling you over for speeding is the same cop that should also be responding to active terror events.

    I am talking about federal.

    State and local elections I believe in when it comes to governing. Of course the military

    Federal should do military

    The federal government should do the military not the police. I hope Trump gets rid of the income tax

    I hold no hope of Trump getting rid of income tax though.

    Trump is a wildcard, but in the end, it's the republican party that makes the laws, Trump can only do exec orders
  • jonas jonas:
    I don't think the Republicans will get rid of income tax, at most lower it a little, mostly for people with 6 figures+. But that's just my opinion

    Government spending, foreign policy, and the southern border are all bigger issues than the income tax right now I'd say.

    For you those are the bigger issues. Cannabis legalization and get rid of Income tax are mine.

    I think there's always been a split in values. But now there's a split in what reality is. No matter whom you ask, they think a third of the country is insane and wants to destroy the country
