New idea.... problem

[LaserGuidedBunnyRabbit 0]

I've been working on a multiplayer map, and I want to add a feature where your rating can be shown and used by other triggers, so I thought I could display it as a hint but the problem with that is the ding everytime it refreshes, and as for text, only one item can be displayed at a time, so if someone takes a flag it'd all get screwed up, any ideas? And if it's possible, tell me how to do it.

hey.. arent you that guy they talk about on Counter-Strike radio?

You might place a logic unit (no matter where) and call it "Info" (without quotes). You can use this unit to display infos via the chat. Example:

Info globalChat "YOU`RE DEAD!"

The good thing is that the name (Info) won´t show up on screen and there´ll be no "ding", just the message shown in the lower left corner, chat-like. I just don´t know if the chat function takes commands like the <format> and stuff but you may try... Nice way to display messages on screen, anyway.

In the "on activation" field, what is the name of the object that triggers the action?

The format stuff also works for chat-messages.

I'm not sure, but as far as i remember, you can't

use gamelogic's for chat messages.

Rather you could use any unused (far off the scene placed)

civilian unit, telling that message.

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">In the "on activation" field, what is the name of the object that triggers the action?<span id='postcolor'>

If you are talking about a trigger, it should be "this",

or "thislist select 0".

Dunno what you mean. You can use it in any trigger (with any conditions you want) or even in a waypoint or script. It´s nothing but a message from the logic unit you created, right? Use it like every other chat message. Got it?

(If you mean the format%something-stuff... can´t help with that, sorry...)

@ DV Chris Death:

You can! Well, I do it all the time (as explained above)...

[LaserGuidedBunnyRabbit 0]

like, lets say a unit walks into a trigger area, which triggers the trigger, now since it was that unit that triggered it, I want him to say something.

Also, when you use the add action, is it possible to set paramenters for the script like you do in [] exec "script.sqs"?

Well, if the unit, which activates the trigger mentioned above

should say something, then use:

thislist select 0 globalchat "blabla"

or:

list this select 0 globalchat "blabla"

i can't remember right now, which one of these two versions

is the right one (i'm at work and i can't run ofp there )

Okay, LaserGuidedBunnyRabbit, I got you completely wrong then. And yes, think it should be this one:

thislist select 0 globalChat "GOT YOU WRONG"

(...and try using the "logic-chat-stuff" instead of hints if you like the "ding" as much as I do...)
