set localPlayer = GetLocalPlayer()

[Pinzu]

Can I use that as a global, meaning multiple times?

 

[Fingolfin]

No, and there is really no point in doing so.

 

[edo494]

you can

so if localPlayer == whatever then

will work, thus saving that one function call?

It works. I can confirm it, used it while making my GetLocalPlayer() tutorial actually.

Then I shall trust you otherwise my map will be the first which someone is discredited! (Not really the first though, but still. )

It is worth noting that using GetLocalPlayer with a global variable could possibly cause all kinds of problems when it comes to save games. The save will be different on each client and even if synchronized (forget how WC3 saves worked) it would end up synchronized afterwards across all clients.

Additionally it exposes a non-synchronized variable to the rest of the map script. Inexperienced mappers might accidently select it for a synchronized function and then wonder why their map OOSes when playing online.

These problems do not exist if you call it as needed.

I don't think there is a problem with a global variable not synchronised, since you don't need GetLocalPlayer to have one, for example the camera fields, widget/abilities names, localized strings, etc.

And well, you can't always protect users from themselves, it's already for "advanced" users.
