Targeted cutText

[fin_soldier 82]

Hello, I want a cutText to be visible only to the trigger caller.

I have the trigger activation for any player, so anyone can be the caller.

 

How would I go about this when the text appears to everyone, but it shouldn't.

 

cutText ["<t size='2' font='EtelkaMonospaceProBold'>The text which should appear.</t>", "PLAIN", -1, true, true];

 

Thanks in advance! 🙂

Wouldent it be? 

Trigger condition:

player in thislist

Trigger Condition:

true

Trigger Activation:

thisTrigger setTriggerActivation[ "VEHICLE", "PRESENT", false ];
thisTrigger triggerAttachVehicle[ player ];
thisTrigger setTriggerStatements[
    "this",
    "cutText [""<t size='2' font='EtelkaMonospaceProBold'>The text which should appear.</t>"", ""PLAIN"", -1, true, true];",
    ""
];

 

When a client loads the map the trigger will fire( true ), changing the activation to VEHICLE and setting the player as the vehicle. Also changes the OnActivation to your cutText.

When the player enters the trigger only he will see the cuttext.

 

This is possible as all triggers are local to each client and all trigger scripting commands are local effect only. So the trigger is globally placed in the editor but each connecting client resets the trigger to only be activated by themselves.

Thanks! I'll try it soon with a friend.

Everything works well, and all with the above. Thank you!

But, how would I go about targeting the cutText to a specific player; let's say _caller of a holdAction?

 

I've got the holdAction working, just don't know how to target specifically the _caller of the action.

 

Thanks in advance! 🙂

I guess you are talking bout BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd, are you?

 

The biki tells you exactly how to get the caller of that action:

Quote

params ["_target", "_caller", "_actionId", "_arguments"];

Yes, but I don't really know much about scripting, so I wouldn't know how.

I could put a cutText that on completion shows a cutText to all players, but how would have to only be visible for the _caller?
