Message to single player (Easy +REP)

[Julian4life]

Easy question that i dont seem to remember how to do. I searched for it, but it didn't come up (probably too easy so people dont need to post).

This is it. I need a message to display (as if you were to chat) to only ONE player when they enter a region.

Kinda like how in dota, it'll say, "FIRST BLOOD" to all player, but i want mine to be sent only to the player who steps in the region.

I want it to say, "Do Not Trust Anything. Find The Real End!"


Yep, easy +rep to anyone who helps first.

• LOL WUT
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set MySoundVar = Whatever sound you want...
    • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()) then
    • Custom script: call StartSound(udg_MySoundVar)
    • Custom script: endif

I'm pretty sure he means sound, not text. Luckily I played DotA enough (two times, both utter failures) to know that First Blood! is a sound.

He says, "message to display (as if you were to chat)"...

Ah. Didn't see that. Must... stop... skipping... lines :banghead:

custom script: call function rofl("MY MESSAGE")

in the map header put this code

function rofl takes string s returns nothing
    call DisplayTextToPlayer(Player(0),s)
endfunction

That displays it to Player(0)... every time. Why not type:

• Custom Script: call DisplayTextToPlayer(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()), "Your Message")

so that it actually works for any player that enters the region.

i dont know what the crap the other guys are talking about but the simple way is just this

Tigger editor--create a new trigger

event- Unit - A unit enters (your region) <gen>


Actions-
Game - Display to (Player group((Triggering player))) the text: Do Not Trust Anything, Find the real end!))

in actions just look under "game - text message (auto-timed)"

its really simple. i think you knew that though. so here you go.

wow thanks guys. I +rep'd everyone who helped (actually helped).

And thought im not familiar with jass, i could use it as a custom script, so i rep'd anyways. TY AGAIN.

I read player 1?
Sorry.

The reason I use the custom script as opposed to using Player Group(Owner of (Triggering Unit)) is because the GUI creates a player group leak. Easy to fix, but simpler still to not create it in the first place.
