Triggers?

#1 MessageClient?

#2 Yes, the messageClient, i want my players to enter a dungeon it says IN the messageClient they entered the dungeon?

#3 Ben is saying that instead of using echo, use the MessageClient functionality. Try looking at how it is used currently, and adapt it to your needs.

#4 @Tim
I do something like this ,but do some own tests first to learn.

function MessageTrigger::onEnterTrigger(%this,%trigger,%obj)
{
   
   Parent::onEnterTrigger(%this,%trigger,%obj);
   %name = %obj.client.namebase;     
   if (%obj.client)
   messageClient(%obj.client, 'MsgChathud', '\c0 %1 %2',%trigger.nameTag ,%name);

}

when i place the trigger on the map i add the text for the chathud in the nametag field.

#5 Thanks alot billy!!

#6 So this is what the whole trigger file should look like?

datablock TriggerData(DungeonTrigger)
{
   tickPeriodMS = 100;
};

//----------------------------------------------------------------

function MessageTrigger::onEnterTrigger(%this,%trigger,%obj)
{
   
   Parent::onEnterTrigger(%this,%trigger,%obj);
   %name = %obj.client.namebase;     
   if (%obj.client)
   messageClient(%obj.client, 'MsgChathud', '\c0 %1 %2',%trigger.nameTag ,%name);

}

//----------------------------------------------------------------

function MessageTrigger::onLeaveTrigger(%this,%trigger,%obj)
{
   
   Parent::onLeaveTrigger(%this,%trigger,%obj);
   %name = %obj.client.namebase;     
   if (%obj.client)
   messageClient(%obj.client, 'MsgChathud', '\c0 %1 %2',%trigger.nameTag ,%name);

}

//put the trigger message in the nameTag field

#7 No datablock TriggerData(DungeonTrigger) must be TriggerData(MessageTrigger)
or change all MessageTrigger to DungeonTrigger.
Like this

datablock TriggerData(DungeonTrigger)
{
   tickPeriodMS = 100;
};

function DungeonTrigger::onEnterTrigger(%this,%trigger,%obj)
{
   
   Parent::onEnterTrigger(%this,%trigger,%obj);
   %name = %obj.client.namebase;     
   if (%obj.client)
   messageClient(%obj.client, 'MsgDungeon', '\c0 %1 %2',%trigger.nameTag ,%name);

}

function DungeonTrigger::onLeaveTrigger(%this,%trigger,%obj)
{
   
   Parent::onLeaveTrigger(%this,%trigger,%obj);
   
}

function DungeonTrigger::onTickTrigger(%this,%trigger)
{
   
   Parent::onTickTrigger(%this,%trigger);
}

#8 Ya i understand and i forgot to excute it thats my main problem.

#9 What would the code be if i wanted to do another event like Half-Life 2 uses triggers to know when certain monsters should come at the right time and when to save the game?
