I'm not even sure if you can detect text using EUDs...

i'm pretty sure u can, i remember my friend making a map with it as a condition

It's possible, but you have to take into consideration the person's name who is typing. I remember once someone made a game where the person could whisper into a game and actually ban people from outside

yea i know. I want to do something like that. Could you please write a tutorial or send me a link to one? thx

This is very possible, but it has major flaws: usernames are variable length and included in the string, the string could occupy one of many string table slots, and the table slots are offset if one user gets a whisper or has a display text that only they (or, specifically, not everyone) can see.

this will just be my user name

That solves one flaw out of three. Two more to overcome. You could read every slot or spam the text until it detects it... but there really isn't much you can do about the third.

could you tell me the EUD command anyways?

also, what program should i use for EUD's, Starforge or Uberation, or something else?

thx

StarForge works. I don't know if Uberation works, it used to because it had them built in (for an old version). EUDTrig can export *.trg files.

I guess I could go and find the offsets for text...

thx man ur cool

and btw, do i need a plugin for starforge 2.2 to do EUB's?

You need to modify Conditions.lst in the data folder.

Find this line:

and replace it with:


Also here are the addresses:
0x00640B48 - Line 1
0x00640C22 - Line 2
0x00640CFC - Line 3
0x00640DD6 - Line 4
0x00640EB0 - Line 5
0x00640F8A - Line 6
0x00641064 - Line 7
0x0064113E - Line 8
0x00641218 - Line 9
0x006412F2 - Line 10
0x006413CC - Line 11
You can only read 4 bytes at a time, so you must read the string in segments. It is everything-sensitive ( case-sensitive) and the string must match up exactly. Half of these don't line up to 4-byte increments so the string data must start with 0x0000.

Edit:
Apparently it (like SC loves to do) starts at 11. It should go in a top-down order, though, as when I was finding them it was.

alright so the condition would look like....

Deaths(P1, Exactly, hexed-number of 4 letter word, 0x00640B48);

???????????

edit: and if my word is more than 4 letters, what do i do?

No. You have to use something like EUDTrig in order to come up with the appropriate trigger.

Not exactly. Use EUDTrig to convert an address into a player number and unit ID.

Input 0x00640B48 into Memory Offset. Ignore Object ID/Len. and hit the down arrow.
You should get Player 4 and Unit ID 15573.
You can use the Exporter (top right) or write your own SF triggers... but in the end it should look like this:
Deaths(P4, Exactly, <4-letter segment as decimal>, 15573);
(I don't think SF allows for hex... does it?)

If you want to read the next four bytes, put a 1 in the Object ID. box and set the Len. (dropdown box) to 4. That will give you player ID/unit ID for the next segment.

If you use text detection in a multiplayer game chances are it'll desync.
See, the different players' line numbers don't necessarily correspond with each other. One player might have a message in "line 4" while another has it in "line 6". If a trigger goes of based on one of those messages, suddenly the different players' games are different, and they get dropped.

(What I meant before as being offset)
... Unless of course all you are doing is displaying text, moving the screen, displaying a portrait, etc.

is there any program that can easily give me a decimal of a word ?

You can have a EUD where it detects text? Wow, the possiblities are endless with this!

When you're reading data directly from memory you can detect pretty much whatever.
