GUI - How do I put things into WTS file...

[qwertz111]

Instead of the war3map.j file when making a trigger to move specific player names to war3map.wts file

[owner123]

Wait - What do you mean?
You want to edit the .wts file from a GUI trigger?
Pretty sure theres no way to do that.

[qwertz111]

No... I mean to move the player names to the wts file ( since those are the conditions )

like if playername == some string instead of the playername

[UndeadxAssassin]

As far as I know, there isn't a way.

[owner123]

Yeah.
Besides, why would you need to add it to the wts?
In GUI, you can just check a certain player, and do conditions if they match the name.

just extract the wts file. It's in the notepad form. So just edit it in the notepad, save, then insert it back to the map.
p/s I think you want to hide the player name in the J file so that it won't be found, right?

[owner123]

He means through a trigger.
Thats why he put GUI

Sometime maps can have the "activator" in the wts file. Shopping mall used to have a couple of check words in the wts which I always changed to suit my needs. Well actually they were in the Jass, but pointed it to a string in the wts like this:

Code: Select all

"TRIGSTR_2725"

That was easy enough for me to edit in the wts and chage as I needed it:

Code: Select all

STRING 2275
{
|cffFF9900-Gold 500 
}

It could be possible to add strings back to back and scrambled throughout the wts to make it hard to figure out the activator. It would only take a little time and patience to follow the "trigstr" path to find the activator. Still, a deterrent for lazy peeps.

How about...(StringIdentity takes string returns string)?
Its avaible since one of 1.24 updates, and gets strings properly. Argument is noramlly like "TRIGSTR_002". Value returned is string if found in .wts, or (null) if not found.
