Player Name Comparison?

Is there a Player Name Comparison Function, like If Player Name = "Bob" then.. else.. ?

I searched the forums but I didn't find an answer, unless I didn't look hard enough :/
 
Yes, under String Comparison. However, if you intend to use this for cheats that work only for you, I do not advise it.

Maybe he's making an in-game banlist system? :rolleyes:

Imagine it. Game start. Everyone with a name matching one of the names in the trigger is defeated automatically, because they were known for being stupid in past games.

Genius.

If not a bit cruel ;)
 
that would be awsome alexander...and ive been looking for how to do this for a while

i want to put this in my TD because since i cant host...i want to be able to kick someone even if im not red
 
Well, I don't recommend that either. Remember the discussion about WC3BanList in DotA? Closed long ago. I'm sure you will remember what good came from it. :p

While it is very possible to do it, and we've basically just instructed everyone on how, I don't support it either :) However, supporting it and realizing that it's possible are two different things.

Plus, I was mainly kidding :rolleyes:

He says before going into his new project, The Evil, and beginning to make a list of people he knows to suck.

Hmm, first person on the list?

Listen to the silvery bird-boy :) Not a good idea. It's better to go back into your game, and fix what people are exploiting, then to make a ban list.

However, perhaps a banlist for people who are simply jerks is acceptable?

Or maybe I'm just a prick :)

No, wait.

I'm deffinately a prick ;)

Code: 
Event
         Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -kick red as An exact match
Condition
Action
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    If - Conditions
        (Name of (Triggering player)) Equal to Hobo218
    Then - Actions
        Game - Defeat Player 1 (Red) with the message: Red is booted! The chump had it coming.
    Else - Actions
        Game - Display to (All players) for 30.00 seconds the text: You cannot boot people!

In the end you would have to end up making 24 triggers though, but it should be easy is you copy and paste.

Hope that helps Hobo

- Wwwwwark
 
Now, if only there was a way to make it editable in game and carry over from game to game... That would be impressive =]

It's called you go into the Editor and Edit the banlist triggers to add another String.

Ta da! Updated list.

I advise, however, if you do do this, to add a bunch of new features and bug fixes. That way, the banned members can no longer get access to it! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

Don't forget to protect your maps! This will keep those pesky jerks from altering the banlist to ban YOU! ;) :)
 
ya, thx wark....though i want to be able to boot people even if im not red...so i have a trigger so where i type -creator kick and it turns off admin kick and puts on creator kick...but if i do that arent i going to have to put in player 1 (red), player 2 (blue) all that stuff? and do an individual kick thing for each?
 
I believe there are kicking triggers in the Free Trigger Code thread.

Perhaps I should add my "banlist" idea to that? :rolleyes:

yes ul have to do 24 triggers, but then you can kick people even if your not red.

Code: 
   Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -kick red as An exact match
Condition
Action
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    If - Conditions
        (Name of (Triggering player)) Equal to Hobo218
    Then - Actions
        Game - Defeat Player 1 (Red) with the message: Red is booted! The chump had it coming.
    Else - Actions
        Game - Display to (All players) for 30.00 seconds the text: You cannot boot people!

^ blue kicking red

Code: 
   Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -kick yellow as An exact match
Condition
Action
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    If - Conditions
        (Name of (Triggering player)) Equal to Hobo218
    Then - Actions
        Game - Defeat Player 5 (Yellow) with the message: Yellow is booted! The chump had it coming.
    Else - Actions
        Game - Display to (All players) for 30.00 seconds the text: You cannot boot people!

^ Teal kicking yellow

you just keep making them until everything is covered.
 
The condition checks that the player making the message has YOUR name as it's name. So if you do it for every player, the one with <your player color/number> will fire, and the rest won't do anything. Ta da.

Or.

Make an array. A player array. Save every player to a different spot.

E: A player from player group Players types a message with text -Boot player 1
C: triggering player's name is yours
A: kick <the player you decide in the event>

Ta da! From 24 to 12 triggers.

Woo!
 
can you explain the array thing a little more? haven't worked w/ arrays much so i dont really understand.

EDIT-
im going to have mine down to 9 seperate triggers though...(long ones)...but overall, less cluster

i have
Code: 
E-
Player 1 (Red) types exact chat message equal to (-kick blue)

C- 
None

A-
If all conditions are true, then do (then actions) else do (Else actions)

  -If-Conditions
   Entered chat string Equal to -kick blue
   Name of (triggering player) equal to hobo218

   -Then- Actions
   Defeat Player 2 (Blue) with the message: You've been KICKED!

   -Else- Actions
   Display text to (Defenders) for 5.00 seconds: Creator Kick Enabled- You can't kick people

forgive typos..i did this rather fast

edit--

ah..so confusing and i dont know why...must be my lack of sleep...because now alexanders 2nd way sounds better and looks easier
 
At map init, you can set each player to an index number, for an Array titled Players. (A Player array, duh ;)) Naturally, you'll want to set Player 1 (Red) for Players[1] and so on.

Then, in the Event, instead of "Player 1 (Red)" use Players[Number between 1 and 12], thus meaning ANY player can fire this trigger.

OR!

Simply list each player in the events :rolleyes:

Player 1 (Red) types a message saying -Kick Player <whatever> as an exact match.
Player 2 (Blue) types a message saying -Kick Player <whatever> as an exact match.
Player 3 (Purple) types a message saying -Kick Player <whatever> as an exact match.

Triggers check work anytime ONE of the listed events happens. So anytime a player types -Kick Player 1, for example, it will check the conditions, and if they are met, will run the actions.

Simpler then making 24 triggers, really.
 
ok..i have decided im gonna do alexanders 2nd way...(thx for all the help though wark).....

hopefully i wont get confused again (read above post edit)
 
You can do it in One Short trigger, using JASS. It's easy. Ask me to post the code :)
 
could u post it plz?

EDIT-

ok, this isnt working

heres what i have

Code: 
CreatorKick Enable
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -creator kick as An exact match
        Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -creator kick as An exact match
        Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -creator kick as An exact match
        Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing -creator kick as An exact match
        Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing -creator kick as An exact match
        Player - Player 6 (Orange) types a chat message containing -creator kick as An exact match
        Player - Player 7 (Green) types a chat message containing -creator kick as An exact match
        Player - Player 8 (Pink) types a chat message containing -creator kick as An exact match
        Player - Player 9 (Gray) types a chat message containing -creator kick as An exact match
    Conditions

        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Name of (Triggering player)) Equal to hobo218
                (Name of (Triggering player)) Equal to RastaMon
            Then - Actions
                Trigger - Turn off AdminKick <gen>
                Game - Display to Defenders for 5.00 seconds the text: Creator Kick has be...
            Else - Actions

    I think on the new one they did change it, but idk. I don't really care whatever the government is doing right now because it's consistently absurd. Like what is RFK doing in charge of health anything? I love the bear story because WTF was that, but also, pretty much every time he talks it's WTF. Like even his voice sounds microwaved

    The pyramid is fucking dumb as shit, no matter how you arrange it.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's actually remarkably easy to make mayonnaise though. Fun fact, it USED to kind of be a French mother sauce. I believe that Careme considered it one, it may have been aioli but that has also built a different meaning than it used to. An aioli is just mayonnaise I mixed with other shit typically, I didn't start it don't come at me
  • Varine Varine:
    It's very hard to do it on a large scale though
  • Varine Varine:
    Depending on how you pour the oil the consistency can vary wildly, but that's true for most emulsions. I can only make about two quarts at a time with my robo coup, and if I have to make several in series because I forgot to order it becomes really obvious even when I do it. We have to wait and mix them all together to make sure we have the same thing.
  • Varine Varine:
    Hollandaise is also kind of like that, emulsions require a very steady hand to do exactly the same every time.
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I live in an age with electricity so it's way fucking faster, but when I was just a boy trying to find my place I had some hardcore chefs that made use do things like that by hand. It is WAY easier to get right by hand because you control it and can feel it, but it takes soooooo much longer. And on the scale a modern kitchen requires... I serve 400-500 guests on average per day right now, if I had 100 then we could do things way better
  • Varine Varine:
    But we can't do that. In the winter yeah, but I HAVE to get people through here right now so I can afford the staff that we CAN do that. We have about 100 days of summer, and if that summer doesn't make us what it will, then I can't operate the other most of the year with my staff. The owner is talking about closing two days a week to cut down on labor, I told him he should cut down on vacations and it did not go great. I do think I won though, I have to keep my fucking core staff and they have to be gainfully employed
  • Varine Varine:
    Sure some of them might take a second job, but I can't just cut my entire staff to unlivable hours, nor can I can cut them off all winter if I want them to come back.
  • Varine Varine:
    And also, there is no fucking way I'm pulling these hours come september. I only do this right now because I have to, the second I don't have to be the one doing it I won't be
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a 5 person core staff in the kitchen, not including me or Chef Ben
  • Varine Varine:
    Though two of those people are likely not making it this year. One of them has been replaced, the other I am kind of trying to. He's being a giant bitch, today I had to get onto him because in the three hours before I left he had taken like thirty minutes for cigarette breaks
  • Varine Varine:
    And he was also complaining to me the other day that he was out of weed so couldn't smoke any before work that day, and was confused about why I was annoyed he was telling me, his boss, that he is smoking weed everyday before work.

  • Varine Varine:
    Like yeah I can tell. I don't need to fucking know.

    So now he's getting scrutinized and will not be top of the list. I know I don't have the smartest people but I do expect them to have some common fucking sense

    I did do a rare thing for me and hire a girl last month without warning. Everyone was made at me because I started her at like 21, but she worked with me before and I was like don't care. She made 19 at her old job and I wanted her to come work with me, she is the best

  • Varine Varine:
    I'm going to get her a raise at the end of the summer. She wants to go to school again, but I want her to still work with me so.... she kind of can just tell me what the price is. I can go to 25 if she keeps up. I need to get her onto line more, that's what she wants, but I need her where she is and it's not fair that she doesn't get the little bit of raise that comes with it. She can do it no problem, I've worked with her there.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's just hard to move and train people unnecessarily right now. And also the line fucking sucks, it's not any more fun. This is turn and burn so I have the bankroll, and everyone suffers for it
  • Varine Varine:
    Eventually we'll get it balanced, we'
  • Varine Varine:
    we're starting online orders and stuff, but I also turn that off all the time because I barely keep up trying to be the best at Sysco shit
  • Varine Varine:
    I think it's gonna be a good fall and winter though. We're going to have a good staff, they will get along, they will be able to manage the workload and the complications, they know how to really cook this year, like every person on line knows their steak temps. Some of them use thermometers a lot and they don't always use them right, but they do know how to do it. Failure, especially in this field, is the only way to get better. They'll get it
  • Varine Varine:
    They won't get feel down while they do the thermometer, but we didn't have an instant read probe when I was learning. Like they did but god knows how off it is, you HAD to do it by feel. Even if the chef was fine with me bringing my own, it takes too long. Poke and know
