How to remove Game - Text Messages?

I saw systems where you could select things based on the arrow keys.
Now this is not so hard, but how do you remove the current game messages?

Atm, I'm just spamming empty game messages. xD

I am doing it too.

You can't. I know, simply because a lot of people are talking about the problem that you can't destroy those string leaks. Floating Texts however can be destroyed (There's even a GUI command for it). They don't leak much so as long as you don't spam them (which isn't necessary if you play it right).

My first guess would be that you need it for picking a hero with arrow keys and showing their abilities and stats. In that case I wouldn't worry about those leaks unless your doing something really weird with those messages or you apply them for something else that does require a lot of use of it.

That's not what he was asking, Avator. To the OP, just use Clear Game Messages or something like that.

There is no such function implemented in GUI. You must do this:

• Custom Script: call ClearTextMessages()

I will check if it works and inform you.

EDIT: It works

It exists on GUI.

• Cinematic - Clear the screen of text messages for (All players)

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

Didn't knew. Checked it and this is what i have found out when converting it to JASS:

call ClearTextMessagesBJ( GetPlayersAll() )

BJ function looks like this:

function ClearTextMessagesBJ takes force toForce returns nothing
    if (IsPlayerInForce(GetLocalPlayer(), toForce)) then
        // Use only local code (no net traffic) within this block to avoid desyncs.
        call ClearTextMessages()
    endif
endfunction

So, using call ClearTextMessages() is much much better.

Does this make the chat function not available anymore (like for ever in that game), like no chat messages are seen, and you can make your own 'chat' with custom names and so on?
Or is it just cleared for that time?

 

[Day-Elven]

No. It cleares only messages that were created by atriggers, like

• Game - Display to (All players) the text: <Empty String>

 

[Yixx]

Ok, well,, how to make the chat go away?
Cause i once saw a map which had no normal chat, but a custom chat thing,,

 

[Day-Elven]

"Defianc3's ORPG" or "Phase Killer"?
Dunno, try to ask map creators =)
I don't think that you can make it on GUI.

 

[Yixx]

D3fi4nc3's ORPG, definately!
Ill ask some time,,

 

[Anachron]

Just Set the players name to "


" and your done

 

[Igor_Z]

I think this was the action: Cinematic - Remove all text messages or Game - Display to (All players) the text: <Empty String> as the others told you...

 

[Anachron]

But Chat messages and ingame messages do not block the space, their are on diffrent levels.

 

[Day-Elven]

Anachron is true.
@ Igor_Z Empty string is an invisible text message that you don't see.

 

[Anachron]

<empty string> just replaces that nothing in the string. Only for showing you that you display a display an empty string.

 

[Igor_Z]

Well use Cinematic - Clear all text messages and your problem is solved. Any problem? That action removes all text messages no mather if they are in different levels

 

[Anachron]

Sure? I thought they only remove the ingame textmessages, and not the player messages, since they are 2 diffrent systems and not used as text messages, but as chatmessages?

 

[Igor_Z]

Oh, the chat messages u mean. It doesn't remove the chat messages. I rly don't know how to remove chat messages. Myb u can make a cinematic and dissable it after some time. I've tryed many times to do but no 1 knows how to remove them. Sry for not realizing your problem

 

[Anachron]

its not my problem, but his one. I have a map that as disabled Chatmessages, I am gonna check it if you want..?

 

[Igor_Z]

I want it, if u can give me. How do you dissable chat messages? JASS? I rly don't understand JASS but if your system is good give me it. I want to make an anti-spam system in my map

 

[Anachron]

Well its GUI ofcourse, no need for jass.

(But seriously, JASS is better, even when it seems to be harder)

 

[GhostWolf]

It has nothing to do with triggering.
