I'd like to have text displayed to only the player in question and not all ally players.

For example:

Player A types -repick
Display to only Player A "Repicking time has expired"
 
If you chose "gameplay - display text to players, there is fied "all players" click it and change to triggering player for example
 
Code:
Events
    Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -repick as An exact match
Conditions
Actions
    Game - Display to (Player group((Triggering player))) the text: Repick time has exp...
It's "Event Response - Triggering Player" for the "Triggering player" part.
 
I've just asked two people via MSN and they both believe that that line does not leak.
I can post the conversation's if you wish.

EDIT: Have no idea what you mean with your post below but I assume it meant you realized you were wrong :p ?
 
I think it leaks.

Code:
Set TempForce = (Player group((Triggering player)))
Game - Display to TempForce the text: Repick time has exp...
Custom script:   call DestroyForce (udg_TempForce)

Msn o_O? Anyway, even if it leaks, it doesn't really matter much. Not too painful.


Edit:
Seriously, seems like it's missing a few posts here o_O". Hmmm... For post below, no one will type -repick all the time :p. But of course, clear leaks whenever possible.

Also, leak is not the problem here. I guess the problem should be hopefully solved. =.= It's always popular with the damn 'L' word...
 
It DOES leak. The only player group that does not leak is 'All Players'.

Yes, it might be little. But it all adds up to your other leaks and can later cause problems such as server splits.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.

    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
