Combining text-string, chat message & var. ?

Hi, I'm fed up with having to load my map to test every single unit, and value. So I'm writing a debugging tool that will allow me to add units in-game by message. How do I do as follows:

Event: Player enters message containing "Add [number]"
Action: Adds [number] of ... to .. bla bla

So far I managed to find this of another trigger tutorial:

Game - Player 1 types a chat message containing ("Add " + (Entered chat string)), matching Partially
AmountOfUnits = "" <String>
Variable - Set AmountOfUnits = (Entered chat string)
Variable - Set AmountOfUnits = (AmountOfUnits with characters from 1 to 5 replaced by "")

Problem is, I can't call upon that variable as a number, in a further trigger (e.g. add [AmountOfUnit] of type [zerglings] to....)



None.

This is what I used to change the difficulty integer on one of my maps. It should be easily modifiable:

Code
SayDIfficulty
   Events
       Game - Player 1 types a chat message containing "-difficulty ", matching Partially
   Local Variables
   Conditions
       And
           Conditions
               (Integer((Word 2 of (Entered chat string)))) <= 100
               (Integer((Word 2 of (Entered chat string)))) >= 1
   Actions
       Variable - Set Difficulty = (Integer((Word 2 of (Entered chat string))))


You basically just need to use the "Convert String to Integer" function, and use the "Word of String" function as it's argument. In you case it should be still be word 2

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

Ultraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

Mr.BurnLiquid shouted: Ultraviolet Thanks; I'm new to the site and a Spanish speaker. I must have missed the part where it was prohibited—I'll change it now.
I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
