Okay I've seen a lot of people put hundreds of triggers for maps just so people can ally people. They put triggers for each person to ally each person.

But all you need is one trigger to ally a certain player for everyone

Note: This is a simple tutorial but it will help out in most RPG's

Ally Player One:

Events:
Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing ally player one as An exact match
Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing player one as An exact match
Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing player one as An exact match
Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing player one as An exact match
Player - Player 6 (Orange) types a chat message containing player one as An exact match
Player - Player 7 (Green) types a chat message containing player one as An exact match
Player - Player 9 (Gray) types a chat message containing player one as An exact match
Player - Player 10 (Light Blue) types a chat message containing player one as An exact match
Player - Player 11 (Dark Green) types a chat message containing player one as An exact match
Player - Player 12 (Brown) types a chat message containing player one as An exact match

Actions:
Player - Make (Triggering player) treat Player 1 (Red) as an Ally with shared vision

Unally Player One:

Events:
Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing unally player one as An exact match
Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing unally player one as An exact match
Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing unally player one as An exact match
Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing unally player one as An exact match
Player - Player 6 (Orange) types a chat message containing unally player one as An exact match
Player - Player 7 (Green) types a chat message containing unally player one as An exact match
Player - Player 9 (Gray) types a chat message containing unally player one as An exact match
Player - Player 10 (Light Blue) types a chat message containing unally player one as An exact match
Player - Player 11 (Dark Green) types a chat message containing unally player one as An exact match

And there you have it. So instead of having 12 or so triggers for each player now you only have around 24 in total ;D

DBZ, WoW, etc

you can put all ally massages in one trigger if you use 'as a substring' instead of 'exact match'. then you can compare the numbers written behind, eg -ally 2 allies player 2.

so you reduce the amount of triggers from 12 to 2 (one for ally another one for unally)

The reason why I had it the way I did was becuase in the map I've started making you say the spacific name instead of player. So your way whouldn't work for what I'm doing but still good to know.

do you mean you write eg "-ally Inu Yasha" ??

then it would work with a comparison like:

For each (Integer A) from 1 to (count players in all players, do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
(Substring((Entered chat string), 7, (Length of (Entered chat string)))) Equal to (Name of (Player(IntegerA)))
Then - Actions
>>>change alliance etc<<<
Else - Actions

btw i dont think this is a good solution cz many ppl have tongue-braking names with signs, symbols, etc...
