Myn 10 Posted July 16, 2009 Hey guys, Once again sorry for what may be a very noobish question; I did try searching for this but with no luck. I'm trying to get the name of a player when they enter a trigger. In SP I can use name vehicle player but in MP this doesn't work, and I'm out of ideas on what to try. If anyone knows how I might be able to do this in MP, I'd greatly appreciate it. On a sidenote, I'm wondering if there's a way to set the same action (for lack of a better word) to multiple units; at the moment I have a trigger with the activation set for: aone playMove "AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_Ease";atwo playMove "AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_Ease";athree etc... but I'd like to know if I can have it apply to all players within the trigger without having to declare each one individually. Thanks in advance to all responses :) Myn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tajin 348 Posted July 16, 2009 for everyone within the trigger ? well, use this: {_x playMove "AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_Ease"} forEach thisList or for everyone in a group it would be: {_x playMove "AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_Ease"} forEach units group this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tajin 348 Posted July 16, 2009 well the "name" command gives you the name of just about anything. However, "player" always returns the player on the computer where the command was executed. What exactly are you trying to do ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Myn 10 Posted July 16, 2009 When a player enters the trigger area, a hint should be displayed saying, for example, "Myn has entered the range." In SP this works fine, but for MP it should be able to give the name of whichever player enters the trigger area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tajin 348 Posted July 16, 2009 I see. Hmmmm, try this in the activation: {if (isplayer _x) then {hint format ["%1 has entered the range.",name _x]};} forEach thisList Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
