Title: Return name of MP player that triggered trigger
Post by: aazell on 09 Jul 2003, 23:23:48

Hi all

I have a command post set up in my mission.
When an MP player enters the command post trigger area I want to add various actions to their action menu. I know how to add actions by the way.

I have written the script that creates the actions but I don't know how to find out the name of the player that has triggered the trigger.

I need to know this because I can then add the actions to that players action menu.

In sp this would be no problem as I would just add them to the PLAYER object but in MP it could be anyone. I need my script to know who that anyone is.

Hope you can help.

You can use 'player', but not in the activation of the trigger.  It needs to be in the condition.

Example:  Your trigger is set to be triggered by 'Anybody' in a radius of 50m.
Condition: player in thisList
Activation: player addAction [blablabla]

Does it make sense?

Yes totally. I figured the value would be different for MP.

I can't belive I just searched 2000 days worth of forum posts and couldn't find that anywhere.

Thanks for the quick response.
