player name in sidechat

[dale0404 5]

Gents, I have some triggers set out over a Map reading course and I want the triggers to say "<playername> has passed WP1" or something to that effect.

How do I get the playername that has passed the waypoint to show in the playerchat or Hint?

I know it something to do with the %1 variable but I cant get the syntax correct. Anyone help please?

Cheers

Dale

player sideChat format["Your name is %1", name player]

for singleplayer or for multiplayer ?

Buliwyfs code will work nicely, but only for singleplayer. For MP you'll have to store the playername of the person who activated it in a publicvariable and have the sideChat script executed on all Clients.

Dont know off hand how well mp this will work but create a trigger activated by the side or anybody and condition this. Onactivation put

nameofunit sidechat format ["Player %1", thislist];

where nameofunit is put the name of a unit on the map like instructor or something. Try it out should work.
