I used this thing LINK to set the host into a variable. how can i make it so that when someone types in "-kick blue/yellow/red/whatever color" for it to check to see if its the host who typed it.

Basically, you create a trigger that has the event 'Player 1 Red types in -kick 2 as exact match', for example, then simply mark the game for player 2 as defeated. You can use the variable you mentioned to replace the Player 1 with the actual host.

Not possible because there is no "host player".

Best you can do is a vote kick feature (democracy rules) or to lock kick functionality to a single slot.

If your game is hosted by robots you could get the robot to feed in some concept of session owner (or people with administrator privileges).

Uhm, most games are now hosted by bots.

The script you are using just finds the player with the lowest ping. This is, in non-bot games, usually the host. However, the ping will be large if they are tabbed out or stalling.

Anyways, working off of hosts isn't normally done anymore. Games usually go for an admin slot now, that slot being "Red."

Thanks for your help guys. Is there any other trick to locate the host?

No as there is no such concept as "host player" in WC3. Closest you can do is pull down elevated permission data from a robot (which you must custom program to deal with) in which case multiple players in a session could be given elevated permission to kick people or that only the session creator (person who ordered the robot to host) has permission to kick.
