Whats the trigger for -setname ?

You mean a trigger to set your name to whatever? I think you mean this -

setname
Events
Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -setname as A substring (and all the other players, (player 2-12))
Conditions (Whatever you want, ie, player is in player group)
Actions
Player - Set name of (Triggering player) to (Substring((Entered chat string), 10, 30))

Thats a bad trigger.

Use this trigger its alot better it lets the players have a name aslong as they want.

Code: Select all

SetPlayerName
 Events:
 Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -setname as A substring
 Conditions:
 (Substring((Entered chat string), 1, 8)) Equal to setname
 Actions:
 Player - Set name of (Triggering player) to (Substring((Entered chat string), 9, (Length of (Entered chat string))))

I think yours is bad as well, but maybe your actions are better, sure.

What trigger would be good?

yours is fine, besides the fact that your condition should make it not work... unless 0 is the dash...

and the layout is GUI. of course jass is better. =/

Good thing this is in the GUI section. Plus, I didn't want it to be as long as possible, that's annoying as frick to have someone with a name going across the entire screen. I myself have a max of 15 characters in my set name triggers.
