CutText single player only trigger in COOP

[CPT_ALPHA 0]

Hello, good evening. I'm writing here to see how to make a text show to a single player and no one else. I use the cutText, but it is displayed globally. Place a global detector on the player, but it still shows up to everyone.

cutText ["<t color='#07b30a'size='1.4'>Radio: </t> <t size='1.4'>ATTENTION CHARLIE BAKER!. We have three JIG UNCLE EIGHT FIVE to SAIL EASY from your position. They will arrive in 45 seconds.</t>", "PLAIN DOWN", -1, true, true]; 

The idea is to make all the players receive a message in one language, but only one player can see it in English, since it acts as a translator. Thanks in advance, everyone who can help.

cutText is a command which has local effect only. You can see this on its biki page. The LE-icon (Local Effect) at the top left indicates this. That  means if you execute it on one client only then it is executed on that clients machine only.

since you posted the command only no one can say why it is seen on all clients. The reason could be how or where it is executed.

In the trigger:

Type: Nothing
Activation: Owner only (Synchronized with the player I want the message to appear)
Trigger Type: Present

Repeatable: No
Server only: No

Condition: This

Will I have something wrong?

I don't know exactly, but I strongly suspect that the connected player is the only one who is able to activate the trigger but as triggers are created local on each client (except server triggers) I assume that player activates the trigger on each client and therefore the cutText is executed everywhere.

 

I guess you have to give your player a variable name (like "translator") in eden and then you can do:

 

if(player isEqualTo translator) then
{
 cutText ["<t color='#07b30a'size='1.4'>Radio: </t> <t size='1.4'>ATTENTION CHARLIE BAKER!. We have three JIG UNCLE EIGHT FIVE to SAIL EASY from your position. They will arrive in 45 seconds.</t>", "PLAIN DOWN", -1, true, true]; 
};

 

another solution would be to edit the condition field and put this in it:

 

this && (player isEqualTo translator)

I find the second solution more elegant.
