Snippet Entered Chat String

Exide · Jul 9, 2008

Hi.

I saw a few threads asking about Entered Chat Strings.
So I figured I'd write a short trigger as an example for people to use.
So here it is.

What you need:
*Warcraft 3!

Global variables used:
*Hero[(array)]

Code:
Hero Color:

JASS:


function Trig_Hero_Color_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer textlength  = StringLength(GetEventPlayerChatString())
    local string text = GetEventPlayerChatString()
    local force playzor = CreateForce()             // not necessary.
    local unit colorunit                           // this is the unit that will change color.
    local integer redvalue                           // redvalue, bluevalue and greenvalue are used for setting colors.
    local integer bluevalue
    local integer greenvalue
    
    if ( SubString(text, 1, textlength) == &quot;normal&quot; ) then             // these functions sets the colors.
        set redvalue = 255
        set bluevalue = 255
        set greenvalue = 255
    endif
    
    if ( SubString(text, 1, textlength) == &quot;random&quot; ) then
        set redvalue = GetRandomInt(1, 255)
        set bluevalue = GetRandomInt(1, 255)
        set greenvalue = GetRandomInt(1, 255)
    endif
    
    if ( SubString(text, 1, textlength) == &quot;black&quot; ) then
        set redvalue = 0
        set bluevalue = 0
        set greenvalue = 0
    endif
    
    if ( SubString(text, 1, textlength) == &quot;blue&quot; ) then
        set redvalue = 0
        set bluevalue = 0
        set greenvalue = 255
    endif
    
    if ( SubString(text, 1, textlength) == &quot;red&quot; ) then
        set redvalue = 255
        set bluevalue = 0
        set greenvalue = 0
    endif
    
    if ( SubString(text, 1, textlength) == &quot;green&quot; ) then
        set redvalue = 0
        set bluevalue = 255
        set greenvalue = 0
    endif
    
    if ( SubString(text, 1, textlength) == &quot;yellow&quot; ) then
        set redvalue = 100
        set bluevalue = 100
        set greenvalue = 0
    endif
    
    if ( SubString(text, 1, textlength) == &quot;teal&quot; ) then
        set redvalue = 0
        set bluevalue = 255
        set greenvalue = 255
    endif

    if ( SubString(text, 1, textlength) == &quot;purple&quot; ) then
        set redvalue = 255
        set bluevalue = 0
        set greenvalue = 255
    endif
    
    
    if ( GetTriggerPlayer() == Player(0) ) then        // this checks which player it was that wrote the message.
        set colorunit = udg_Hero[1]
    elseif ( GetTriggerPlayer() == Player(1) ) then
        set colorunit = udg_Hero[2]
    elseif ( GetTriggerPlayer() == Player(2) ) then
        set colorunit = udg_Hero[3]
    endif
    
    call SetUnitVertexColor( colorunit, redvalue, bluevalue, greenvalue, 255 )    // this actually changes color of the unit, acording to &#039;redvalue&#039;, &#039;bluevalue&#039;, and &#039;greenvalue&#039;.
    
    call ForceAddPlayer(playzor, GetTriggerPlayer())                                              // not necessary.
    call QuestMessageBJ(playzor, bj_QUESTMESSAGE_UPDATED, SubString(( &quot;|cffffcc00Current color: &quot; + text), 2, textlength) )  // not necessary.
    
    set colorunit = null
    set playzor = null          // only necessary if using the &#039;Current color:&#039; -function.
    set text = null
endfunction

Player Name:

JASS:

    local integer textlength  = StringLength(GetEventPlayerChatString())
    local string text = GetEventPlayerChatString()
    local player whozor = GetTriggerPlayer()

    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Player_Name, function Trig_Player_Name_Actions )
endfunction

Kick Player:

JASS:


function Trig_Kick_Player_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer textlength  = StringLength(GetEventPlayerChatString())
    local string text = GetEventPlayerChatString()
    local player whozor

        set whozor = Player(2)
    endif
    

    call CustomDefeatBJ( whozor, &quot;You were kicked!&quot; )
    call QuestMessageBJ( GetPlayersAll(), bj_QUESTMESSAGE_UPDATED, ( &quot;|c00FF0000&quot; + ( GetPlayerName(whozor)) + &quot; was kicked!&quot; ) )

Example Map, v1.2 Attached.

So, it sets your name color? I would suggest developing this into a system and allowing name changes.

AceHart · Jul 9, 2008

A slightly more efficient version would get the substring just once, and also use "player number".
And, what is a Hero array? Some units? Some unit types? Something else?

More interesting though is, why the heck is the actual point of interest of that post hidden in a spoiler?

>So, it sets your name color? I would suggest developing this into a system and allowing name changes.
-Nah, it sets the unit vertex color of 'Hero[*]'.
A quick remake of the trigger can make it change name and color and similar of the players, as well, though.

>And, what is a Hero array? Some units? Some unit types? Something else?
-In case there are several players owning a hero each.

>More interesting though is, why the heck is the actual point of interest of that post hidden in a spoiler?
-Removed the spoiler tags. ^^

Didn't look too deeply at the code.

Cool though, +rep.

darkRae · Jul 9, 2008

Just a suggestion, instead of 'first' 'second' 'third' you might wanna use 'redvalue' 'greenvalue' 'bluevalue' (or similar) instead.

Not like it matters.
But yes, you are right. Those are obviously betters names. :thup:
I'll try to remember to change, when/if I update it. ^^

Exide · Jul 12, 2008

*Bump!*
Updated.
Version 1.1

-Changed the Color-trigger slightly.
-Added a new trigger, called Player Name. Which sets the name of the player. (Obviously.) :thup:

EDIT #2:
Version 1.2
A second change, all in the same day!

-Changed the Player Name-trigger slightly.
-Added a new trigger, called Kick Player. Which kicks a player. (Obviously.)

AdamGriffith · Jul 12, 2008

It can only kick player 1, 2 and 3...

Exide · Jul 12, 2008

>It can only kick player 1, 2 and 3...
It's meant to be that way.
If you want to add more players, you'll do it yourself.
-No need to have 12 identical if/then/else -functions in an example map.

Works for everyone and didn't need you to write 12 if/then/else...
P.S.: Fill in the colors at the bottom
P.P.S.: Don't need to null players I.I.R.C.
P.P.P.S.: Requires NewGen

Depends on how many players there are in the map, I guess.
With only a few players I think my version is simpler.

I.I.R.C.?

I was told handles are to be nulled, I dunno.

I don't use NewGen. With my version it's not needed, so anyone can use it. ^^

EDIT: I appriciated the effort, though.

AdamGriffith · Jul 16, 2008

JASS:

    if ( SubString(text, 1, textlength) == &quot;random&quot; ) then
        set redvalue = GetRandomInt(1, 255)
        set bluevalue = GetRandomInt(1, 255)
        set greenvalue = GetRandomInt(1, 255)
    endif

That should really be (0, 255) seeing as you can have 0 red value etc.
