Text message won't show

[Sunchips]

For now I want the text message "Knight" to be shown for a player who selects a "Knight Selection"-unit on my map but it won't show the message. Here's my trigger

• Text Knight
  • Events
    • Unit - Knight Selection 0010 <gen> Is selected
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Triggering player) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
      • Then - Actions
        • Game - Display to Player 1 (Red), at offset (0.00, 0.00) the text: Knight
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Triggering player) Equal to Player 2 (Blue)
          • Then - Actions
            • Game - Display to Player 2 (Blue), at offset (0.00, 0.00) the text: Knight
          • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (Triggering player) Equal to Player 3 (Teal)
              • Then - Actions
                • Game - Display to Player 3 (Teal), at offset (0.00, 0.00) the text: Knight
              • Else - Actions
                • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                  • If - Conditions
                    • (Triggering player) Equal to Player 4 (Purple)
                  • Then - Actions
                    • Game - Display to Player 4 (Purple), at offset (0.00, 0.00) the text: Knight
                  • Else - Actions
                    • Do nothing

why use the offset thas messing it up. Just have a normal text or floating

• Text Knight
  • Events
    • Unit - Knight Selection 0010 <gen> Is selected
  • Conditions

I'm not entirely sure about this, kozz only works with units placed on the map. The only way i know to do what u want is with a periodic trigger, checking the selection of the player and showing if the selection == knight.

 

[Sunchips]

that is normal text, no?

 

[volg11]

Not quite, for "normal text" he means auto-timed / explicitly timed text.

try:

• Events
  • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Random unit from (Units currently selected by Player 1 (Red)))) Equal to Knight
      • Then - Actions
        • -------- ur actions --------
      • Else - Actions

that is normal text, no?

• Game - Display to (All players) the text: KNIGHT

not offset 0, 0

 

[Gtam]

Yes what yoshi showed it the normal text

 

[Sunchips]

Well tried it, here's my trigger. It doesn't work

• Text Knight
  • Events
    • Unit - Knight Selection 0010 <gen> Is selected
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Triggering player) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
      • Then - Actions
        • Game - Display to (All players) for 30.00 seconds the text: knight
      • Else - Actions

Just change the event to a player selects a unit for test purposes

 

[LoveRPG]

you will have to set condition to: (owner of(selected unit/Triggering unit). It is a unit event, not a player event that is why it wont work.

 

[Sunchips]

the unit the player is supposed to select wich runs the trigger is a neutral passive, it's meant that i'f you click on him it will show information about him as hero

 

[LoveRPG]

Other wise it need to be in the player events. Which exists: Player - A player selects a unit. Quite easy mate^^ Hope this will help

 

[LoveRPG]

Just change the condition or the event:O hehehe, last reply Increasing posts

Just change the condition or the event:O hehehe, last reply Increasing posts

stop double posting its against forum rule

as for the problem; just change the event and try agian.

 

[Gtam]

thats why when a player selects a unit not owned by him it does trigger the event coz it does count as a selection

 

[Sunchips]

Then how can I do if I want this to happen? Whenever a player clicks a hero selection dummy it will get information about the hero
