In Uberation 2.0.0.8, the trigger editor has an EUD Condition which is Text Display.
The "form" of the condition look like this:
TextDisplay(Line, Byte Position, Qualification, Text);
These are the parameters I have some questions with.
TextDisplay(Line, Byte Position, Qualification, Text);
First off, Line:
For Line, there is Line 1-11. So..in example. Pretend I'm playing a map and there are NO "blank" displaytext triggers or any text displayed or any other player's text. I type "Hello". My "hello" line would be Line 1, correct?
Secondly, Byte Position:
What...are they used for? (and how to use them)
Third, Text:
Can the "text" parameter only carry 4 characters max?
Well...that's about all the questions I have about the EUD Condition "TextDisplay".
(Oh, and sorry if this is in the wrong forum or if I didn't see a tutorial on this somewhere else.)

1) Yes
2) They are basically whatever is in that line. Each character being 1 byte.
3) Only 4 characters because we only compare 4 bytes.
In other words if your name is "greenreaper" on SC then byte 1 will be "g", byte 2 will be "r" and byte 3 will be "e". So basically 1 byte for each letter in your name. Then you have to include the ": " at the end of your name when you type something. So if you wanted to detect text for your name, you would want to detect on the 14 byte because that's where your name ends and where what you say begins:
"greenreaper: (what you say is here)"

But to detect a long phrase like "hello world", from a speaker that has say 4 characters in his name, you would do:
TextDisplay(1, 7, Qualification, "hell");
TextDisplay(1, 11, Qualification, "o wo");
TextDisplay(1, 15, Qualification, "rld");
?
If so, you should make it autogenerate. Also have an "Any" option for line, which writes 11 triggers, one for each line.
TextDisplay(1, 7, Qualification, "hell");
TextDisplay(1, 11, Qualification, "o wo");
TextDisplay(1, 15, Qualification, "rld");

Why would you need that?[right][snapback]294598[/snapback][/right]
Running actions according to other lines may cause server splits because you don't know if someone else has whispered one of the players or something.

True, but it is possible to not get registered before it gets bumped.
You should at least allow more than 4 characters of text and auto-generate a set of conditions.

Ooohh, I get it now. Thanks for helping me LegacyWeapon =D. But yes, that would be nice for lazy people (like me 
) if an auto-generator was implemented into UberEdit. By the way....what's a server split

Half the players see the other half drop, and vise-versa.

Is there anyway to determine what the user typed? Because right now, it seems that you have to know the length of the player's name...which is a pain to trigger...

It is just reading the RAM for the screen text. Though you might be able to trigger a way to find the colon and space to note the end of a player's name.

At least, at most, or exactly.

in this case, would the qualification be replaced with exactly???

Yes, it's the only one that makes any real sense to use.

So in order to detect somebodies name like Bob
you do TextDisplay(1, 0, Exactly, "Bob"); or TextDisplay(1, 1, Exactly, "Bob");
you do TextDisplay(1, 0, Exactly, "Bob"); or TextDisplay(1, 1, Exactly, "Bob");

Fget's message should be at byte 7 and up. His name alone would be "Fget: " so when you type something in it would be "Fget: asdf." If it still doesnt work, talk to DK about it. Perhaps he made an error in the uBeR@TiOn data files.Umm is anyone going to help me?...

just to tell you, there is a bug... the first line is actually line 11. Then 1, 2 3....etc...

It doesn't matter. The lines will be different based on what and when something was typed last.

I know it doesnt matter, but if you are the first person to type something and you want the trigger to work, you need to use line 11. After that, you have to type 9 or 10 more lines before it restarts to line 1 and the trigger will work again. I think if you find a way to RESET the lines then whenever someone types it will be a set line.
