how give a message just for one player ?

[michel]

In multiplayer mode, I want to give a message just for one player, when one of his units go in a special case :
[item]
x=54
y=32
image=items/signpost.png
[/item]
[event]
name=moveto
[filter]
side=3
x=54
y=32
[/filter]
[redraw]
[/redraw]
[message]
speaker=narrator
message= _ "the village"
[/message]
[/event]

My probleme is that all the players can read the message " the village" on their screen and not only the player number 3.
How to do that ?
Thank you.

If you've got some informations on : how use an item like a potion or a ring....

Thanks

i guess you should put it on 'scenario&campaigns development' forum, i guess its not right place for this

I think [message] will take a side= paramater, which you can set to $side_number.

[michel]

but I don't understand what you mean...
can you explain, please...
Thank you.

EDIT: won't work. Side=$side_number makes a unit on that side speak. I tested it.

Did you try using a normal message tag, for the game might only show messages for the active player.

ok, thank you , I'm going to try the $...
another question : i don't understand the code for a variable.
look at this :
a unit go to a special case
[event]
name=moveto
[filter]
side=1
x=18
y=50
[/filter]
[message]
message= _ "you are on a special case"
[/message]

and now, I want this side (side 1) have got the right to use an object.
So, I must use a variable, but How ?
I know that I must define a variable before my message and change it after . How ?
so, if you can translate this..... thanks a lot...

namevariable=open
open=no

(if unit go on case 18,50 then open=yes)
(if open=yes then unit can use object)

don't translate "unit can use object", it's ok, but can you help me on the begining, the variable and the if...then...?
thank you
