Warning message like ''Not enough gold.''

[Leazy]

Hello, when you buy something and you got to little gold for example, a message comes up like ''Not enough gold.''. How can I send a message like that to a player when he is casting a spell? Note that I do not want to send quest messages or something like that.

Well, it's nearly impossible to give the same error message to players...

Sim Error

library SimError
globals
    private sound SimErrorSound = null
endglobals

function SimError takes player ForPlayer, string msg returns nothing
    if SimErrorSound==null then
        set SimErrorSound=CreateSoundFromLabel( "InterfaceError",false,false,false,10,10)
    endif
    if (GetLocalPlayer() == ForPlayer) then
        call ClearTextMessages()
        call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer( ForPlayer, 0.52, -1.00, 2.00, "|cffffcc00"+msg+"|r" )
        call StartSound( SimErrorSound )
    endif
endfunction

I just copy that jass text into a trigger that I converted, but it does not work (I do not got vjass or something like that)

You need NewGen for the library to compile.

Ok, jag har lite problem med NewGen, det krånglar.. blir felrapport, så kan jag få din mail så du kan lägga in det på min barna bara?

Sorry, but he was swedish so =/ No I don't think that Is the problem, I had newgen once but I owerwrited it and since that it does not work =X

 

[Larcenist]

If that's the only thing left to do in your map I can add it in, otherwise tell me when you're done with the map and I'll help you.

 

[Leazy]

No, it's not the only thing but I will use it a lot during the making so it would be nice to get it fixed now

How to add that code without NewGen:
1) Make a variable called 'SimErrorSound' in the variable editor (of type sound).
2) Add this code to the map header (click on the map's name on the trigger list):

function SimError takes player ForPlayer, string msg returns nothing
    if udg_SimErrorSound==null then
        set udg_SimErrorSound=CreateSoundFromLabel( "InterfaceError",false,false,false,10,10)
    endif
    if (GetLocalPlayer() == ForPlayer) then
        call ClearTextMessages()
        call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer( ForPlayer, 0.52, -1.00, 2.00, "|cffffcc00"+msg+"|r" )
        call StartSound( udg_SimErrorSound )
    endif
endfunction

Non vJass version

//Needs a udg_SimError global sound variable
function SimError takes player ForPlayer, string msg returns nothing
    if udg_SimError==null then
        set udg_SimError=CreateSoundFromLabel( "InterfaceError",false,false,false,10,10)
    endif
    if (GetLocalPlayer() == ForPlayer) then
        call ClearTextMessages()
        call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer( ForPlayer, 0.52, -1.00, 2.00, "|cffffcc00"+msg+"|r" )
        call StartSound( udg_SimError )
    endif
endfunction

If you type Swedish one more time, I will erase the message and anymore you make. This is a English Only forum.
