[Azlier]

You should just manually put |c on all the strings and get rid of the concatenation. Save time and memory.

 

[Komaqtion]

First:

concatenation

Huh ?!

Second... So you mean that I should, instead of a global, simply use |c instead ?

 

[Azlier]

Get rid of StartString completely.

set PlayerColorString[0] = "00ff0202"
set PlayerColorString[1] = "000041ff"
set PlayerColorString[2] = "001be5b8"

->

set PlayerColorString[0] = "|c00ff0202"
set PlayerColorString[1] = "|c000041ff"
set PlayerColorString[2] = "|c001be5b8"

Btw... Any ideas on what else this snippet/system could do ? :S
I'm out of imagination, and need ideas for more features

 

[Azlier]

It seems to be perfect, except for one final thing...
[ljass]function PlayerColoredString takes string s, integer playerId returns string[/ljass]
Switch the arguments around, and that function will be inlined.

Done

[Azlier]

Ahh. This is perhaps more efficient than any other player color string snippet out there, and this one works correctly when players switch colors. And now, I take my leave of you.

Though, you may want to set initial colors appropriately on MapInit, using GetHandleId. I don't know if hooks get the calls inside functions created by the World Editor.

Is there no other features you want this system/snippet to contain ?

You should really update the first post with the latest and greatest version.

Yeah, wonder why I haven't done that... :S

Will do now !

Fixing time. This is looking good. :thup:

    exitwhen i == 0
    set i = i - 1
endloop</i>

Steal please. Get rid of Players array (??).
This won't work for Neutral Passive/Neutral Hostile, etc. Please fix for all 0-15 players (16 players). :thup:

Requires: vJASS compiler (JassHelper, which is included in JASS Newgen Pack)

Untrue - this requires an updated JassHelper, the one that comes with NewGen will not compile this as it uses hooks.

And in regards to your "credits" section, pretty sure I had to explicitly teach you how to use hooks and more or less tell you what to write. Not that I care much, but you said no one really helped... so at least remove that, if not thank.

Edit: Hate to say it but this will probably get graveyarded, as this was released long ago...

Shouldn't I use it there, instead ? :S

Which version is it that gives you the ability to "Hook" ? :S

Changed now !
Forgot to update that XD (Sorry, you've been very helpful, believe me !

Edit: Hate to say it but this will probably get graveyarded, as this was released long ago...

Yeah, I also almost "know" that, but I'll atleast try to do as much with this as I can, until it get graveyarded, because I'm learning alot !!!

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

>Shouldn't I use it there, instead ? :S
What for?

>Which version is it that gives you the ability to "Hook" ? :S
The latest (the actual version where it was added isn't really relevant, point is the user must update JassHelper). :thup:

 

[Komaqtion]

>Shouldn't I use it there, instead ? :S
What for?

You could get the tiniest of efficiency gains, Darthfett, by saving all the players to a player array.

?
