Storing user created threads

[SyrisX]

Its me... again....

I am having some problems with a new system I am creating. I want to be able to save a string entered by users in game, and call that string at a later time.

Think of it as a reminder system, where a user wants to store a reminder that will appear for him again at a specified time.

If anyone has any ideas where I should start when creating this system I would appreciate the help.

You could use Gamecache if you are using GUI. then make a string variable and make a trigger which will run when a specific command is written before the string you want to store, like:

-store I WANT THIS STRING TO STORE

then set the string after the "-store" part into the variable and save it to the gamecache and restore it again after another command (-load, or something)

 

[T.s.e]

Use Hashtables instead of Gamecache.

I suggested a GUI solution.

If you are using JASS then you should write this thread to the JASS forum

Hashtables are used via GUI too... no?

Event: Player X types a chat message containing "-reminder:" as a substring
Conditions:
Actions: Set (StringVariable[Player Number of (Triggering Player)] to Substring of last typed chat message 11,45


Event: Player X types a chat message containing "-Remind" as an exact match
Conditions:
Actions: Display (StringVariable[Player Number of (Triggering Player) to all players matching ((Matching Player) equal to (Triggering Player))

This should be MPI, but it will only allow each player to store one message with 35 characters in the message. To allow more characters, just change the '45' in the first trigger's actions to lower for a lower number or higher for a higher number.

You can use Hashtables in GUI.
