I am trying to make it so when Player A enters a region, the game says "Player A = Failure" or something like that. Right now it just says "Haha you fail" from the localize. Any idea how to make it dynamic and add in the player's name?

Code: Select all

ActivateRegion("drop1")

region1 = OnEnterRegion(
		function(region, player)
			if IsCharacterHuman(player) then
				RewindAnimation("drop1")
				PlayAnimation("drop1")
				ShowMessageText( "message.custom.drop", DEF )									ShowMessageText( "message.custom.drop", ATT )				
			end
		end, 
		"drop1"
	)

message.custom.drop is the static message

You can get the profile name. Hold on while I search my luas. I'll edit it in later. Zerted helped me

But, can't you only show text that has been localized in the core.lvl? That may prevent you from doing this.

The only way I can think of to do that would be to make a pop-up message. However, I don't have a clue how a dedicated server handles a pop-up message or how well they work in MP.
