scripting - one player message

[At0miC]

How to send a message to 'one' player (when he hit a trigger)?

I know how to send a message to all players duh, but dunno how to send a message to one.

[Elgan]

parm.other iprint "this message is yellow "

parm.other iprint "this message is white with a click" 1

or give the trigger a message key valure thing and it will showa white message in the center.

does it have to have parm.other? can i just have

$this do that
iprint "it did the thing"
$this undo that
iprint "it undid the thing"

?

local.player = parm.other

local.player iprint "message"

but what if my entire script uses the

Code: Select all

$targetname

and not the

Code: Select all

local.targetname = $targetname

style stuff and i dont want to use the local.player iprint? is it possible for this to work?

So it would print to one player? Well, they would have to come across a trigger to do it. You can't just have stuff happen then put iprint "hello" and it print to a specific player. You scan all clients with a script with an array and a for loop and have it print to a specific player like this:

$player[local.array] iprint "hello"

well u cant print to objects?:S

parm.other i used cos its the player in a trigger.

Yeah, I really can't see why you can't use parm.other
