Title: Syntax for Groupchat with multiple players
Post by: Mr.BoDean on 02 Aug 2003, 09:52:47
Okay, here's a trigger syntax change from 1.46 to RES

 Old 1.46 trigger that worked fine:

P5,P6,P7,P8 Groupchat "Blah, blah"

Now, in RES editor I get error :

Missing  )

I've tried using ;  and ( )  but no worky unless I only have 1 player do the chat.
i.e. P5 GroupChat "Blah blah"

However, it is MP and if that player spot is not taken by human or AI , it won't happen, so i need all of the possible players to be representin' !  ;D  

How to do that?  8)   ???

Yup, I swear it worked before!  :-X

Ok, so you're sayng I've gotta call a script then.  Yeah, I'm using some scripts called "AliveNChat" for other spots in mission ...was trying to just add something in the On Activation line of a trigger since all players in group (assuming they are being used) are alive.
 
ok, ok , I'll add another script.  :P   ;D
