Host detection system

[warriors]

hi guy

The question I ask may be a lot of problems

I want only hosts to write a chat message

I found this But it does not work for chat commands:

How to find out who is the host - Wc3C.net

There is a way to make the chat commands only for hosts?? (for example :: just host can kick others)

srry for my bad english

I'm waiting for the answer. Thanks

The thread you linked should work for chat commands, you are probably doing it incorrect. Try adding a "Player types message" event for each player in the game, then checking if the player that typed the message is the host

• kick
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -kick as A substring
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -kick as A substring
    • Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -kick as A substring
    • (Do this for all available player slots)
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Triggering player) Equal to Host
      • Then - Actions
        • (Do actions)
      • Else - Actions

hi...

Thanks.. but dont work

It does not check the host and it also runs

Please follow the instructions in a test map for the slave

I'm waiting . Thanks

Did you put

• Custom script: call GetHost()

in an init trigger somewhere?

You should probably use an "Event - Game Message" action for a more reliable method of testing.

 

[pick-a-chew]

You want triggering player, not owner of triggering unit... there is no triggering unit in your events.

I think its also worth noting that games that are hosted with bots don't really have a true host; i think systems that detect hosts assume that the first player who loads into the game is the host (which in bot hosted games is not the case).

What do i do to have (triggering player) ?

i use : player comparison

Can I be replaced with (picked player) ?

No better way? for host detection?

 

[IcemanBo]

(Triggering Player) is a player that can be selected in a Player Comparison for example. It represents the player who started the trigger to run, so it will be correct in your code.

(Picked Player) is a player that represents the current player in a PlayerGroup loop, so it would be wrong here.

Edit:

No better way? for host detection?

Do you use a bot, or are you hosting yourself?

 

[warriors]

i dont use bot..i want create map (6v6 --- or ffa) .. just for humans.. no ai or bots

game have 12 slot for players.. (player 1 to 12)

I want everyone to build the server (map host) . Use the codes ..for example : (kick command)

 

[IcemanBo]

Have a look at Import GUI part, for how to import GUI with variables from one map to an other.

The demo only prints now the name, but you can use a player comparison with it, too.

 

[warriors]

tnx

It is true

But my question is how to write commands to know the hosts?


How can I add a kick command that only the host can kick?

 

[IcemanBo]

You can add a condition to your chat trigger. The condition needs to be of type "Player Comparison".
The Player Comparison will check if "TriggeringPlayer", so the player who let the trigger run, is the same as "Host".
If they're not same, the trigger won't run.

Try it out in your demo, and in case you don't get it to run you can just explain your issue and post the demo.

tnq guy for help

its worked

i dont used :

• 
  Custom script: call GetHost()
  
  but its worked
  
  Thank you all
  
  Especially IcemanBo & Light

Have a look here for posting triggers: How To Post Your Trigger

You have the same problem as before, because you don't use TriggeringPlayer().

"Owner of (Triggering unit))" is wrong response -> will have default value -> Player(0)
"Host" will not be assigned if you don't run GetHost() -> will have default value -> Player(0)

so both parts are returning un-proper values, thus will result both in default, so it will look like it always works.

You need to run GetHost() in a "Map Initialization" trigger, and to use "TriggeringPlayer()" in the player comparison.
