how to add a gold/lumber cheat trigger

[mickaboy72]

how to know the trigger of map that when you press
'
it gives 5000 gold and lumber
without putting activator


i saw it on tree tag maps and vamp..

in vamp map
(5 spaces)
gives 1000 lumber


how can this be?

I don't understand the problem.
Go to world edit and build such a thing on your own, that's easy!

i will make trigger?

Something like this...

Code: Select all

Events
Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing ' as An exact match

Conditions

Actions
Player - Add 5000 to (Triggering player) Current gold

Another way to do it w/o a chat message is. Using the arrow key method.

Code: Select all

Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) Presses the Left Arrow key
    Conditions
    Actions
        Player - Add 5000 to (Triggering player) Current gold
        Player - Add 5000 to (Triggering player) Current gold

Theres a better way but. meh.

[matchai]

what he wants is not that u put in in chat but u just type that letter

like the arrow key method but can u do it with ' ?

he also said that in a map u press <space>x5 outside of chat and it gives lumber

[Bartimaeus]

Space can be hotkeyed to do something via triggers, I believe.

` cannot.

[matchai]

I dunno

I'm still learning Jass

Um.. you could make a variable for Red... (In GUI, it'd be the easiest for him...)
Then make a trigger for a hot-key... when Red enters the hot-key, it gives the variable (Which would be an integer)
+1, when it reaches +5, give player (Whoever...) +5000 lumber/gold/whatever you want, and set the variable back to 0.
So it could be done over and over...

I've never seen a trigger like that, O.o

Where does it check to see if you hit a button? Only ones I know of are arrows in GUI, and I've seen Space+Escape, but never an actual letter.
