[JASS] GetLocalPlayer() problem

[kStiyl]

I have problem saving values to variables retrieved from local player functions. Is there any way to get around this problem?
Below code causes disconnections..

local integer i = 8
            
loop
    set i = i - 1
                
    if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(i) then
        set sight[i] = GetCameraField(CAMERA_FIELD_TARGET_DISTANCE)
    endif
                
    exitwhen i == 0
endloop

You could save each player's camera values to variables at map start, and change them using a custom camera system.

Since you're using CAMERA_FIELD_TARGET_DISTANCE, I assume you're using a camera system anyway.

I'm not using a camera system. I just need to capture each player's cam distance at one point, which I'm having trouble with.

unless your synchronizing the array, you dont need to set all the variables. just set sight = GetCameraField and it will be different for all

thank you. that wont cause desync right

 

[Arhowk]

thank you. that wont cause desync right

well of course it will. -_- if you do anything with it.

so if u set i = GetCameraField(whatever)
CreateUnit(i in one of these fields)

it will desync because i isnt the same for all players.

but if u just leave it and dont do anything it wont desync

what if the used function is also local player? like setcamerafield

It depends on what functions you call. SetCameraField won't desync locally. But if you do something like what Arhowk mentioned, it can cause a desync.

Maybe try to sync them? You may want to look into something like this:

(use R2I() to get the real to an integer form)

No. SetCameraField (with a localized field, not inside of a localized block, just to make sure) wont desync
