Really need help - Extremely tricky
« on: 19 Feb 2003, 03:12:39 »
Is it possible to print the name of a player that is taking out ammo from a crate?

Any help is deeply appreciated :)

I don't think so... but you could place a trigger near that ammocrate, which detects and prints the unit's name who's trying to pick some ammo:

Activation: Anybody, Present

Actv Field:

-hint format ["%1",(thislist select 0)]
or
-titletext format [["%1",Plain],(thislist select 0)] - (i'm not sure if this is the formating method for 'titletext' comand (???)

A Hope this fits your wishes... (what a stupid sentence ;) )

Actually, the correct format for titletext format is:

titleText [format ["%1",(name(thislist select 0))],"PLAIN",1]

if you even wish to use that. That hint format is rather nice if you don't mind the eternal BLING!  :D

Not that the trigger idea would work all the way but it is the easiest solution. Just make it small enough, maybe < 1 radius. There are ways to check who just got more ammo in a group and if that ammo or weapon is the same that was in cargo of a crate, which now should have less of them, you've got your player. Is as complicated as it sounds, perhaps someone with a less twisted mind can solve this  ;)
There's gooks over there, there's mines over there, and watch out those goddamn monkeys talk, I'll bite ya.
